PARIS, Aug. 4.-With Germany's
formal declaration Of war upon
France, making 1t certain that Eng
land will be the next nation to step
into the European conflict, every
power involved today is endeavoring
to escape responsibility for the
slaughter, devastation and suffering
of the worlds greatest war which is
now breaking.
In it's declaration OF war against
France today Germany sought to
show that the republic was the ag-
gressor in the movements along the
frontier during the past three days.
The Kaiser has also sought to lay at
the door of the Gear the responsibility
for the break between their nations.
Russia has passed responsibility for
the break upon Germany. England,
standing to the last for peace, will
also hold the Kaiser responsible for
the conflict, which will set Europe
back half century and wipe out a
| large part of her male population.
From the small spark of the ulti-
matum delivered to Servia by AUS
tria has sprung the flame now envel-
oping the most powerful nations of
| the world.
Standing aloof, shielding her people
| from disaster, Italy is endeavoring to
avoid the conflict, but pressing down
upon her is Germany, demanding that
she live up to the terms Of the triple

FEAR SHORTAGE IN
RAW SILK IMPORT
Supply on Hand Is Small and
Paterson Mills Will Have
to Close.

PATERSON, Aug. 4.--"Within q
few weeks Paterson will begin to feel
the effects of the European war,
through a shortage Of silk" said
Commissioner Frank Frost, of the
Board of Fire and Police Commits
sioners, last night. Commissioner
Frost is the head of the firm of Frank
Frost, Incorporated, silk importers. of
New York.
Continuing, Mr.. Frost said that of
late the silk manufacturers and job
pers have been buying their supply of
raw silk from hand to m puth, waiting
for possible changes in the market,
being more interested in the possible
effects of changed tariff than the
probability of war. In consequence,
he said, there is but six or eight
weeks supply of raw silk in this
country.
At present there are but three silk
transportation ships sailing under the
American flag, so that there are real
ly but three bottoms that can be used
for supplying this country with the
raw silk.
Just now the sale of silk is I'M
usually good as Dame Fashion has
been helping out the manufacturers.
In consequence the mill owners find
themselves with many orders on
hand, but they face the possibility of
not being able to get the needed raw
material.
