Americans in Paris Safe
But Many in Dire Need

Paris - The situation Of Americans
on account Of the war crisis was much
worse Monday. Their panic was in
creased by the closing of banks, Cook s
agency and American Express at noon.
However, the latter two concerns met
all paper with cash and promises to
open soon.
The inability to secure money is the
chief peril Of the Americans, for there
will be plenty of trains to boats after
mobilization is over.
Ambassador Herrick, however. con-
siders the financial situation so crit
ical, it is reported, he will ask Wash
ington to send swift cruiser with a
cargo of gold to enable Americans to
cash their checks, at present useless.
He also will ask for transports to ia
cilitate getting out of the country.
In case war is declared America will
take over the business of the German
embassy here, and in Berlin Ambassa-
dor Gerard will assume the business of
the French embassy. This mutual ac-
commodation on the part of the United
States will prevent any i'll feeling
toward American citizens in either
country, assuming German business
means a tremendous amount of work.
Ambassador Herrick said there were
still 100, 900 Germans in the country.
In case they are given the order i'm
mediately to leave France they will be
herded over the Spanish frontier to
the furthest point from home.

KAISER VS.. RUSSIA
War Declared aid Fighting Begun
Throughout All Europe.
Situation Is Germany and Austria
Against Russia, France and
SerUfd- Italy Neutral.

London-Events in the European
crisis developed Sunday with startling
rapidity. The German ultimatum te
Russia, demanding that Russia cease
the mobilization of her army, expired
at noon, and at s :15 o'clock in the af.
ternoon the German emperor signed q
mobilization order.
At 1880 o'clock the German ambass-
ador at st. Petersburg delivered a dec
laration of war In the name Of his gov
ernment to the Russian government,
and the entire staff of the embassy
Immediately left St. Petersburg.
Although, after the warlike speeches
delivered by the German emperor
and the imperial chancellor at
Berlin on Friday, no other result could
be expected, hopes that the dread
event might be averted had been
raised by the Intervention Of King
George in st. Petersburg. Hence the
actual declaration Of war had not been
expected for another day or two.
Now the die is cast and Europe is TO
be plunged into general war, which
has been the apprehension of European
statesmen for generations. 1t is now
only question of how soon a state of
actual war will exist between Germany
and France.
Placards were posted in Paris calling
for general mobilization, and the Ger
man ambassador, although he had not
been handed his passports, was prepar-
ing to leave the French capital.
II is not known exactly at what hour
Germany's ultimatum to France, ask
ing that country TO define what atti-
tude she would assume in case of a
war by Germany and Austria against
Russia, was to expire, but it is be-
lieved II will not be long before diplo-
matte relations will be ruptured or war
declared.
The German emperor and his advis-
ers have maintained to the last that
they made supreme efforts for the sake
Of peace, and the last of the series Of
earnest appeals from Emperor William
to Emperor Nicholas, a telegram re-
pudiating responsibility for the calam-
ity threatening the world, on grounds
that while Germany was engaged in
mediating with Austria-Hungary at
Russia's request, Russia by her gen
eral mobilization was threatening Ger
many's safety.

TO ''locslize" the conflict.
The nature and progress Of these
conversations ere wrapped In the
thlckest mystery, but they are the last
plank the neutral powers are clinging
TO In face Of a storm which may wash
all under.
There Is nc doubt in British minds
that Austria had fully resolved TO util-
ixe the plsvaocation afforded by the
Ssrsveyo murders to wipe the slate
clean Of all accounts against Scrvin
and served an ultimatum on her which
was designed TO have no result save
war.
The next news expected Ia the occu-
patton OF Belgrade. and even now II
may be an accomplished fact. Re-
ports OF small encounters along the
frontier have been permitted to pass
the censor. but military experts here
believe mobilization has already been
effected and that thoroughly-planned
campaign Is well under way.
There Is absolutely no enthusiasm
In England for war-no desire for this
particular war which confronts Great
Britain. yet there is general belief
that her obligations 10 her partners in
the triple entente. as well ss her in
terests AS great European power,
viii force her to support Russia and
France In any steps they may take.

First Clash of Troops
Comes on Danube RiUer

Vienna - The Servians Friday blew
up the bridge spanning the River Save,
between the Austrian town of Semlin
and Belgrade. The Austrian infantry
and artillery stationed at Semlin, in
conjunction with monitors on the Dan
ube. fred on the Servian positions be-
yond the bridge. The Servians re-
treated after short engagement with
trifiing losses.
1t is said the Austrians have an
other bridge, in sections, on their side
of the river, which they can put up in
few days.
A small detachment of pioneers, in
cooperation with the customs officers,
captured two Servian steamers lader
with ammunition and mines. The pio-
neers and revenue guards. after q
sharp encounter, overcame the Serviar
crews and took possession of the YES.
sells and their dangerous cargoes.
Popular enthusiasm is growing since
the emperor's manifesto and patriotic
demonstrations are being held all ovei
the country. Runs on the savings
banks are diminishing.
The war spirit in the Austrian cap
ital is hourly increasing. The street.
of Vienna were so crowded with en-.
thusiastic persons, singing and parad
ing, that traffic in the leading thor.
oughfares was almost brought to
standstill. The patriotic demonstra
tions surpassed in extent and fervol
anything witnessed within memory.

belligerent parties refused to come
down because 1t wouldn't have been
worth while, there being the usual
powers ready to intervene. Courtlandt
did not bother about the cat; the
puppy claimed his attention He was
very fond OF dogs. So he reached
down suddenly and put an end to the
sharp challenge. The dachel struggled
valiantly. for this breed OF dog does
not make friends easily.

in the price of provisions which
caused great indignation on the part
Of the public. Vegetables in many
cases trebled in price. Feeling ran so
high that in many instances stallkeep-

assaulted and the police had to be call
