heavy losses such as that said to
have occurred at Fodcha are absurd
as it would be impossible for the Ser
vians to have crossed the Drina and
advanced twenty miles within Aus
trian territory. 1t is also argued that
the announcement that 100000 Aus
trian soldiers were on the march in
to Servia is practically incredible.
1t is said that Austria cannot have
100000 men on the move in less
than six weeks.
Americans visiting Europe received
a shock today when 1t was an
nounced that the sailing Of the I'm
perator from Hamburg for New York
had been cancelled owing to the un-
settled situation. There was rush
to steamship offices to endeavor to
book passages but few or none were
to be had as all the ships were filled
to capacity until the middle Of Sep
tember. Blsiness men to whom It
was iinperatively necessary to get
back to America offered premiums
for berths. but even then could not
get the lucky possessors to give them
up.
Premier Asquith's statement was
as follows:
I'VE have just heard, not from
Petersburg, but from Germany, that
Russia has proclaimed the general
mobilization of her army and her
fleet, and that in consequence of
this martial law Is to be proclaimed
in Germany.
I'VE understand this to mean
that mobilization will follow in Ger
many ii the Russian mobilization is
general and proceeded with.
'In these circumstances prefer
not to answer any further questions
until Monday
The steamship companies which
yesterday were booking passages sail
ing before the annual exodus at mini
mum rates, today raised their prices
to the maximum, although they as
sured intending passengers tnut Brit
ish, French and Dn:c'l steamers were
