Failure Spreads Rapidly.

was manifest strong feeling Of indigna-

CERMANY'S REPLY NOT
FAVORABLE TO PEACE
Declares British Proposal In
possible to Garry out.

Berlin, July 29.-The German gov.
ernment has returned an unfavorable
reply to the British proposal for Q
conference Of the ambassadors In Lon
don Of the European powers in an
endeavor to bring about settlement
Of the Austro.servian dimculty.
In its communication Germany de-
clares that It considers the suggestion
Of Sir Edward Grey, the British for.
eign secretary. as we'll meant and good
in principle. but not feasible in prac-
tice and impossible to carry out.
Il says that It cannot be expected
that great power having dispute
with . smaller neighbor will submit
the matter to the decision Of q Euro.
pean Areopagus. Far less can 1t be
hoped that two great powers will sub
init to be summoned in the role Of
accused before such tribunal.
Germany makes the counter su8-
gestion that negotiations for peace
be conducted between the cabinet in
stead Of by q conference.

FIERCE STORM DOES
GREAT DAMAGE.

One of the most terrific storms in
years swept the Jersey coast on Sat-
urday doing great damage to proper
ty. AS usual Pleasantville was for
tunate and but little fell to its lot.
A new house in course of construction
on East Washington avenue, was
blown from its foundation. The tide
was extremely high and across the
meadows the only thing visible to the
eye except water in most places were
the Reading and Pennsylvania Rail
road tracks and the Boulevard, the
Suburban tracks being submerged al
most in their entirety. Margate,
AVentnor and Longport suffered most,
while Atlantic City escaped with the
sweeping away of the ruins of
Young's Old Pier, bunting the point
of the Million Dollar Pier, shattering
signs and inundating a few street
ends.
Several persons from the lower
beach end, fearful that the storm was
again rising and that their homes
were unsafe for occupancy, came over
} on the Pennsylvania Sunday and re-
manned in Pleasantville over night.
