sengers, but DR.. J. b. Murphy, of Chi
eago, who presided, said that scores Of
American physicians are marooned
here, and may be unable to return to
America for weeks, while others who
had planned a Continental trip have
abandoned the idea.
John Wilson, a cousin of President
Wilson, desired passage on the Maure-
tania, but was unable to get it. He
has a set of gold golf clubs for the

worrying about golf clubs; Pm think

to Rome, where he has been ordered
back because Of the situation. Vice
Admiral Cochrane, r. N, sailing for
Canada, via New York, said he believed
that England would hold her own in the
war if drawn into it. He said he did

London, Aug. When the Maure-

Rome, Aug. 1.-The Italian govern
ment to-day made it plain that it did
not intend to be dragged into Euro
pean war on account of the treaty
which is supposed to bind the Triple
Alliance. The attitude of the govern
ment is that the convention with Ger
many and Austria affects Italy only in
the event of defensive war in which
either of the other parties may be en-
gagged.
That the war between Austria-Hun-
gary and Servia is an offensive one on
the part of the Dual Monarchy in the
opinion of the Italian Ministry is clear
ly stated in an inspired article which
appeared in the "Messsgero" to-day.
The German Ambassador TO Italy to-
day asked concerning Italy's position in
the event of war between Germany
and Austria Hungary on the one sue
and Russia and France on the other.
According to the "Messagero," the
Marquis di San Giuliano, Italian For
eign Minister, after conference with
Premier Salandra, replied that Italy
would remain neutral.
The newspaper adds that this neu-
trality may not last until the end oil
the war, but that Italy will stand aloot
as long as she is convinced that her
interests are not being infringed
Meanwhile the Italian government Is
preparing to meet any eventuality'
About 100000 soldiers are under arms

WILSON TO STAND ALOOF.
Will Not Take Steps for Medi-
alton in Europe.

Washington, Aug. From an au-
thoritative source 1t was learned late
tonight that President Wilson was
strongly disinclined to take any steps
toward mediation in Europe and IN
line with the traditional policy OF the
United States, would pursue course
Of absolute non-interfercnce.

about peace measures, cau'ionary teIe,
Grams were sent to all legations and
embassies requesting that no steps OF
importance in this direction be taken
without previous consultat with the
Washington government.
For the present the attitude OF the
United States will be that of a neu-
tral observer, and unless it appears
that the contending powers would ae-

diation no formal effort viii be made

of the feet have assembled at their
stations. A strict censorship has been
established.
King Victor Emmanuel is keeping in
close touch with events and is said to
be in frequent direct communication
with other European rulers, especially
the German Emperor.
The Queen is greatly affected by the
fact that her relatives in Servis and
Montenegro are again plunged into a
war.
The Pope is said to have made siren
uous efforts to prevent the conflict, as
since the recent concordat between the
Vatican and Servis, his feelings are
very friendly toward that country. The
signature of the concordat is said to
to have been cause of Austrian re-
sentiment against Seryia.
The PontifF informed the Austrian
Ambassador that he. regarded the Aus
trian attitude toward the Servian con-
cordat as unfair, and added that he
must protect his children wherever
they are"
Paris. Aug. dispatches from
Rome say that Italy formally notified
the German Ambassador there this
evening that she will remain neutral.
The text of the dispatch from Rome
says:
1T is authoritatively announced
that the Marquis di San Giuliano, ltsl-
ian Foreign Minister, has informed the
German Ambassador at Rome that
Italy will remain neutral, her obliga-
tions under the Triple Alliance treaty
applying only to a defensive war. Italy,
therefore, considers herself released
from her engagements, the war waged
bv Austro- Hungary, supported by Ger
many, being essentially an offensive
war"

Paris, August 1.-The Russian Am
bassador, NJ. Iswolsky, called on Pre-
mier Viviani at II o'clock tonight and
officially informed him that Germany
had declared war on Russia.
As soon as the news of Germsny's
declaration of war was received in
Paris the Council of Ministers was
summoned to meet at the Elysee
Palace. As by the terms of the Dual
Alliance France is bound 10 go to
the assistance of Russia if the latter
is attacked, a declaration OF war
against Germany is expected to be
issued at the close of the meeting.
An unconfirmed rumor says Premier
Vivisni has mhds changes in the French
Cabinet whereby Theophile Delcasse
becomes Minister of War and Georges
Clemenceau, the eX-Premier, joins the
ministry.
The course of diplomatic events
which took place since yesterday after
noon can be stated briefly as follows:
Baron Won Schoen, the German Am
bassador to France, called on the
French Premier, Rene Vivisni, at Z
o'clock yesterday evening and formally
notified him that Germany had ad-
dressed an ul.imatum to Russia, de-
string to know by ~ o'clock to-day
whether the st. Petersburg government
would discontinue the mobilization Of
the Russian army.
Baron Won Schoen was directed by
his government to ask what we're the
intentions of F-ance should Russia's
reply to Germany be a refusal to de-
mobilize.
The German government fixed "be-
fore 1 ,. m. to-day" as the period within
which France must answer. Baron Won
Schoen called at the French Foreign
Office at I1:40 a. IN. to receive Frances
reply. Premier Viviani made an earn
est appeal to the German Ambassador,
asking if Germany could not yet do
something to avert war.
The baron promised TO communicate
with Berlin and to return TO the
French Foreign Office at p. m. which
he did.
During the course of their second
interview to-day Premier Viviani said
20 the German Ambassador; "You are
mobilizing; we know IT,"
Baron Won Schoen did not reply, and
Mr.. Viviani continued: This attitude
of your government has dictated ours.
We were compelled to take precautior $
similar TO pors. Our peaaceful inten-
tions remain unchanged. We wlsn
peace. and the best proof we can give

The Fehmern Belt is crowded with
