Ashland Ladies fsf
Banquet Bankers

Ihe meeting of the Oregon State
Bankers Association at Medforc
Monday and Tuesday was one of the
biggest ever held in the state. Mon
day the visitors were taken on {
tour of Medford and the valley, eight
or ten cars going from Ashland tc
help entertain them.
Tuesday the bankers came to Ash
land for lunch served in the park by
the Ladies' Civic Improvement Club
While in Ashland they were showr
the city in cars donated by Ashland
owners who went down to Medford
and brought the distinguished guests
to the city.
Those in charge OF the luncheon
were Mesdames H. L. Whited, F. H
Johnson, H. o. Frohbach, c. F. Greer
G. W. Chattin, D. Perozzi, Roy Davis
j. j. McNair, w. M. Policy, d. H
Barneburg, s. Saunders, F. ]. Shinn
A. c. Briggs, ]. l.. Harner and Miss
Lily Patterson. The menu was as
follows:
Lithia water.
Fruit cocktail.
Salad and waters.
Creamed chicken in patties.
New peas. New potatoes
Homemade rolls
Ice cream. After-dinner mints.
Cake. Black coffee
There were fifteen tables, decorat-
ed in red flowers and green foliage,
each presided over by one lady and
two assisting girls. Those serving
were dressed in white and wore red
flowers in their hair.
The general committee, which was
in charge of the whole affair and did
the general managing of the dinner,
was as follows: Mesdames c. B.
Lamkin, o. Winter, L. V. Carter,
George Eubanks, E. C. Gard and w.
H. Smith. This committee, that han
died the whole affair, buying, arrang-
ing for tables, etc., deserve a great
deal of credit and praise for the
capable manner in which they per-
formed their duties. When one con-
siders the buying of food for about
two hundred they will readily see
that it is no infants task.
The Elks Quartet and the Mandolin
Club-the latter composed of Messrs.
Andy McCallen and Henry Enders and
Harold Huntley-furnished entertain
ment.
A number of the bankers brought
their wives with them. The enter
tainment of these ladies was turned
over to special committee consist
ing of the wives of the cashiers Of
Ashland's three banks, Mesdames j.
W. Mccoy, V. o. N. Smith and G. G..
Eubanks. The bankers were each
presented with a souvenir picture of
the park from the photograph recent
ly taken by Artist Hinthorne. Mr..
Hinthorne also took a photograph of
the headquarters, and A. c. Allen, a
valley orchardist, took film views of
the crowd which will probably be
seen later at our moving picture the
atres.

We VIII Crush
The Austrians"
Declares Peter

KRAGUYEVATZ. SerVia, July 2S.
I'VE Will crush Austria
With these proud words King
Peter Of Servia today proclaimed
himself and his counrl ready for
combat and set at rest rumors that
he was urging Prince Alexander,
who had served as regent for a
few weeks, TO yield to Austria with
out giving battle.
by calling up all the reserves.
said King Peter with flashing eyes
I'VE will be able TO put half a mill
lion men in the field. Every man
is resolved TO perish in the last
ditch rather than to allow his cOun-
try, which has just arisen after 800
years of oppression, TO be crushed.
My Serbs are equal to a million
Hungarians, Germans and SlavOn-
ians, who form the Austrian army.
Everything divides the Austrian
army. which will not fight for a
single ideal as we shall.
Our mountain trained fighters
form the most formidable legion in
the world. The officers are splen-
didly trained, the armament is
ultra-modern. The infantry pos
sesses 1900 model mauser rifles. The
artillery has maxims and 1903
model French quick-firing guns"

This Information was conveyed here
today in a dispatch from Berlin. Sir
Edward Grey withheld information as
To the progress of his negotiations
but this silence was taken as a sign
of failure. There is no hope here
that Austria viii request mediation.
Servia's reply to the Austrian ulti-
matum suggested arbitration. The
mobilization of the dual monarchy's
troops and the rupture of diplomatic
relations was the only answer voUch-
safed.
The Berlin dispatch states that Ger

The following statement was given
today by the private secretary of the
British foreign minister, Sir Edward
Grey:

There is strong hope, however. that

TO 'LOCALIzE" WAR

VIENNA. Austria, July %. =
Austria today declared war against
Servia. Official notification was
sent to Belgrade for transmission
to the Servian government.
This action was taken as soon
as the Austrian. government was
notified that Germany had refused
to become a party to any confer
ence having for its aim The medi-
alton of the differences between
Servia and Austria. The govern
ment gave formal notice through
the British ambassador here that
it would refuse to halt hOStilitleS
pending the result of such a con-
ference and shortly afterwards is
sued the proclamation of war.
A formal declaration of war by
Austria was not necessary as
.Servia was not a party TO The
Hague agreement, but by doing so
she accorded the smaller country
|all the courtesy of war that the
signatorieS TO The Hague stipu-
lated should precede the formal
opening of hoSitilieS. State
mentS made by government Ottlc-
Iials before the declaration of war
was sent to Servia showed that
there was no possible way in
which hositilitieS could be avert
ed. They declared that even il
Servia granted every demand the
|Austro-Hungarian army would not
| be held back.
1t is understood tha the war
declaration was held back until
the mobilization of AuStria'S
TROOPS was complete. 1t is prob
able that at the same time war
was declared the Austrian army
was hurled into Servia.
News of the declaration OF war
was received with patriotic out
burst throughout the capital. Men
embraced on the street and wept.
Great crowds paraded the va
riouS MINISTRIES singing the ma
ltional airs and cheering for the
government late this afternon. A
| mob surrounded the Servian lega-
ton shouting:
"Kill the assassins of Archduke
| Ferdinand. and "burn Belgrade,
| the assasSin'S den. "

Though there has been no formal

Servian troops are reported TO have
been defeated by invading Austrians
who entered the Serb kingdom near
Mitroviczak about so miles west OF

REJECTS PROPOSAL OF BRITAIN

BERLIN. July 2S.-Germany TO-DAY
rejected England's proposal for
peace conference. The following
statement was made by a prominent
official who stated that it gave Ger
many's exact position:
I'VE are unable to see that Sir Ed
ward Greys conference proposals Of
fer any prospect of peaceful solu-
ton.
Austria cannot consent TO make an
appeal before a European. tribunal.
We are convinced that Austria will
not agree to such a conference.
The German foreign office consid-
ers that conservations between the
powers will be more effective than a
conference. Germany considers that
Russia should stand aside over the
Austro-Servian dispute"
The statement was regarded as an
official warning To Russia TO main

AUSTRIA HAS
INCOME TAX

Vienna, Feb. 23.-Afser a parliar
mentary wrangle continuing over a
year, the new income tax bill has
been finally passed and the Austrian
tax payer finds himself in. sympathy
with the American citizen in figuring
out the worst that a befall him un.
der the terms of the new tax.
The taxing Of incomes is notsa new
thing In Austria, but. the revised sys.
tenn has 81 many new points that t
will practically be beginning all over
again. The new law will exempt al.
together more than half a million Of
the present tax payers, but will sd
raise the rate Of taxation all around
that an increased revenue may re.
suit. The chief improvement Is in
favor Of the poor man; and the new
burdens fall heaviest upon the 'bach-
el0rs, and persons without children
and persons with incomes Of more
than $4,000 a year.
The bachelor tax requires that such
persons having nobody depending up-
on them will have to pay Is per cent
additional on the amount of their in.
