Britain's mobilization is nearly com

War officially existed between Aus
tria and Germany on one side and
Russia, Servia and Montenegro on the
other. There has been no official
declaration of war between Germany
and France by either side. but the
German ambassador in Paris received
orders to demand his passports.
The most important event in the
last twenty-four hours was Germanys
demand upon Belgium, in the form Of
a twelve hour ultimatum, that the
German troops be permitted to cross
Belgium to the French frontier,
coupled with the promise that Belgian
integrity should remain unimpaired al
the end of the war and that Belgium
should be compensated.

The mobilization Of the German
army proceeded with absolute calm.
There were few signs in Berlin that

A notice was issued by the police
