STRONG EFtURTS
MADE FOR PEACE
England Urges Mediation In
Present Crisis
NO OFFICIAL NEWS OF FIGHT

Secretary Grey of England Proposes
Joint Mediation TO Settle Quarrel
Between Austria and Scrvia-Anti-
Militarist Riots Occur in Paris.
Kaiser May Sc Blamed If Europe is
Plunged into War.
London, July 2S.-An engagement
between AUstrians and Servians is re
ported to have occurred on the Dan
ube, but no details are available and
1t is not believed to have been OF
any Importance. AS far as the cen
sorship permits to be known, Austria
has not yet opened her military oper-
ations, although a Paris dispatch says
official news from Vienna has it that
hostilities will begin today.
Meanwhile diplomacy is proceeding
with energy along two separate lines
to avert the war if that is possible and
if impossible to lOcalize the conflict.
This is largely due to the state
ment of Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary, that he had made
advances for a conference in London
on the trouble to Germany, Italy and
France and also his admission that
Germany was favorable in principle
to mediation between Austria and
Servia.
The announcement in regard TO the
proposed conference was that Ger,
many, Italy and France had been
asked to join Great Britain in trying
to find a solution of the difficulty;
that Russia. Austria and Seryia had
been invited by Sir Edward Grey to
suspend operations pending the out
come of the proposed mediation cou-
ference.
Sir Edward said in the house in an.
nouncing his appreciation:
81 understand the German govern,
ment is favorable to mediation in prin-
ciple as between Russia and Austria,
but to our proposal to apply thar prin-
ciple by means of q conference the
German government has not yet re.
piled"
The failure of these efforts for gen,
eral peace would, Sir Edward believed,
bring on the greatest catastrophe
which could befall the concert of Eu-
rope
Military preparations Of one sort or
another continue by all the great
powers, but so far as they have been
allowed to become known they are
no greater than might be expected
under the circumstances.
Against the tendency to optimism
must be set Austria's announcement
why Servia's reply was unsatisfactory
and the Hungarian appeal to the ma
ton to stand together, in which it is
declared that eve stand on the

Maryland grows something like $50.

Maryland grows something like $780,
900 acres OF corn annually. An in
crease of but single bushel per acre,
which is less than has been obtained
in Delaware. would add to the value
Of the crop In the state to the extent
of $40S geo per year. Maryland grows
$4,000 acres OF wheat per year An
increase of but single bushel per
year, and this amount is easy to OBJ
tain, would increase the resources of
the state 100000 per year In other
words, an increase OF one bushel per
acre In the yields Of two of her largest
crops, in q single year, would practic.
ally build and equip an Agricultural
College that would compare fayorhbly
with that Of almost any other state.

Kaiser Europe's Man of the Hour.

Berlin, july 2S.-The kaiser is the
man of the hour. All Europe believes
he can. and at least will try. by vir,
tue OF his personality and tremendous
influence, save Europe from a general
war.
Whether or not the kaiser has the
power imputed to him. dispatches
from Paris, London and St Petersburg
show plainly lhat there is a disposi-
ton to place the entire responsibility
for war upon him if he does not pre-
vent such a catastrophe.
This tendency of the triple entente
TO make Germany responsible for the
action OF Austria is sharply resented
in governmental circles and by por-
ton of the press.
'The situation is unchanged; it con
tinues to be most grave These words
from a parsonage who is in a position
to speak for the government explains
the situation.
Russia remains the sphynX of the
situation. Until she speaks the sus-
pense will remain and there will be no
real change.
The National Gazette prints semi,
inspired note which says: "The situa-
ton from the standpoint of Germany
is unquestionably grave, even if not
exactly dangerously threatening. As
soon as she considers it necessary,
Germany will take precautionary steps
and measures which will give en-
phasis to her views OF the position
that the Austro-Servian conflict must
be carried on without the interference
OF third power"

GUTIERREZ NOW RULES
REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
Carranza Quits-AII Fighting Stopped
New President Guarantees Pro-
lection of Foreigners and Property.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Settiement
OF all differences between the Mexican
factions was indicated by a dispatch
from American agents at Aguas Cali
entes saying CarranZa has notified
Gutierrez he will resign in his favor
at once.
Secretary Bryan announced he had
received a telegram from American
Consular Agent Canova, who has been
with the Aguas Calientes convention,
saying everything between the rival
Mexican factions had been arranged
satisfactorily"
Gutierrez formally notified the Uni
ted States of his assumption of power
as provisional president of Mexico and
guaranteed protection for Americans
and all other foreigners.
Two communications from Gutierrez
were laid before President Wilson.
The formal notification of his assump-
ton of Office added that he soon would
set up his government in Mexico City
and seek to bring about peace. The
other, guaranteeing protection for for
eigners, made no request for recogni-
ton by the United States.
