EUROPE CRISIS
Is RAPIDLY DEVELOPED
German Ambassador Delivers Declara
tion OF War to RuSsia-Quits
st. Petersburg.

London, Aug. 1.-Events in the Eu-
20 can crisis de-, eioped today VITA
startling rapidity. The German ul-
timatum to Russia, demanding that
Russia cease the mobilization o.: her
army, expired at noon, and at 5:1o
c. .ock this afternoon tie German
emperor signed mobilization order.
At 7:30 o'clock the German am
bassador at st. Petersburg, Count Won
Pourtales, delivered a declaration OF
var in the name Of his government to
the Russian government and the en-
tire staff Of tle embassy Immediately
left st. Petersburg.
Although after tle 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
mig2t be averted had been raised by
the intervention of King George in
St. Petersburg and that the fact the
German reichstag was not to be
convened until Tuesday, hence the ac-
tual declaration of war had not been
expected for another day or two.
The Die is Cast.
Now the die is cast and Europe is
to be plunged into a general war
which has been the apprehension OF
European statesmen for generations.
1t now is only a question of how soon
state of actual war will exist be-
tween Germany and France
Late tonight placards were posted
in Paris calling for general mobiliza-
ton and the German ambassador, al
though he had not been handed his
passports, was preparing to leave the
French capital. 1t is not known ex-
actly what hour Germany's ultimatum
to France asking that country to
define what attitude she would as
sumo in case of war by Germany and
Austria against Russia was to expire,
but it is believed it will not be long
before diplomatic relations will be
ruptured or war declared.
The German emperor and his ad-
wisers have maintained to the last
fiat they made supreme efforts for
peace and that the last Of the series
of appeals from Emperor William to
Emperor Nicholas was a telegram
repq!d{iating p!{ g responsibility trE for Dr. the
calamity which threatened the. world

abUadges of nihilism from their breasts. -
"Bleaseism is buried so deep it can
&never be resurrected," he declared,
"and l firmly believe that he will not
carry single county in the State. >
He said the governor would hardly
carry Anderson county. where in 1912
%he received majority of $500 votes;
that he cannot possibly carry Lau-
rens county, which Mr.. Pollock de-
seribed as one of his most valuable
~scrongholds. 81 also have no idea that

No Intent Of Exclusion.

Telling that Governor Blease would
have tie people believe and mad told
them during the campaign meetings
that the convention called by tae
Aiken county delegation was to Sc
Iect a governor by clique, Mr.. Pol
lock declared that "tlis convention
has been called here by patri5tic men
or patriotic purpose You did not
want to exclude any candidate from
the race for governor, nor prevent any
voter from making his choice from a
full field. The time comes sometimes
when personal preferences should be
laid aside for the best interests of the
State
q believe the resolutions offered
here today were wise. We would not
want it to go out to the State that we
have attempted to deny the candidates
or voters aeir rights, nor did We want
the people to believe that there is
ring rule in South Carolina, and the
people Of South Carolina will do the
right t1ing at tne right time. You
will see at least one man in the Sec
ond race for governor who will work
for the betterment of the State and
one for whom You can vote with
pride.
There is no necessity for doing
other tnan you have done, in my
judgment, after having gone over
practically all the State" he declared.
Mr.. Pollock explained that in call
ing this conve-.t .tion, the candidates
lad been offered an opportunity of
withdrawing, with the end in view
that such patriotic action on theii
part would greatly increase the
change of a satisfactory anti-admin-
istration candidate being elected gov.
ernor, 'Fbut they have not seen fit and
l am glad that We have found assur-
ance of successfully burying Blease-
ism withont this action"
Il say to you today that ii thought
t would do anything toward defeating
Blease, the sun would not go down
belore l had withdrawn my candidacy
for the United States senate.
He was frequently interrupted by
cheers.
When he closed his short address,
resolution denomiI,ating aim as the
man "who has done more to defeat
Blease than anybody else within the
State was unanimously adopted by
rising vote.
Resolution of thanks to the Aiken
county delegation in taking the initia-
tive in calling this conference was
also unanimously adopted.

general mobilization was threatening
Germany's safety.
First Shot Fired.
The first shots in the Russo-German
war were exchanged between patrols
today near Prostken, 12O miles south
east of Konigsberg.
The only redeeming feature of the
darkest prospect with which Europe
aas been faced for half century is
that Italy has declared her neutrality
How long that neutrality can be main
tanned is an exceedingly debatable
question.
Great Britain's position already has
been defined by Premier AsQuith in
the British parliament. He declared
she is under no formal obligation to
go to tie assistance Of France in the
event of an European war.
The British government has made
full preparations in both services for
any event.
The present position, there ore, is
tat Russia, France and Servia are
arraye. on one side against Austria
Hungary and Germany On the other.
How long the Warfare will be con-
lined to this plane it is impossible to
toretell, nor can it be foretold whether
Belgium and oHlland will be able to
maintain t2eir neutrality against ner
powerful neighbors, or whether Great
Britain will find herself compelled to
send an expeditionary force to pre-
serve that neutrality.
Another factor which has not been
given much consideration is tle atti-
tude o: Turkey, which, if she had suf-
fciently recovered from the effects of
her late war with Italy, may be able
to throw considerable weight into the
scale. 1t is generally understood that
Germany has an effective understand
ing with Turkey which may lead to
interesting Developments.
The cabinet will meet again tomor-
row to consider Great Britian,s atti-
tude in the crisis. Tie government will
have to make its momentous decision
between the two schools of thought
which prevail here-one advocating
that England hold aloof and only seek
to prctect Dutch and Belgian neu-
trality, and the other arguing that
the entente with France entails Eng
land going to the assistance ii that
country is attacked by Germany.
Despite the official view tnat there
is friendly feeling between England
and Germany. it is impossible to avoid
, observing among the general public
deep-seated antagonism toward that
country.
There was no cessation Of diplomatic
activity in London throughout the
day. This evening Premier Asquith
gave small dinner party at his resi-
dence in Downing street, the guests
! including the Russian ambassador.
Sir Edward Grey remained at the
| foreign office until late hour and

About so members of tie State
Democratic convention in May met at
the Jefferson hotel yesterday at noon
in response to a call issued by the
Aiken county Democratic delegation.
MASser reports we're received from dif-
rent sections of the State it was de-
led that no steps toward the elimi-
ton cls anti-Blease candidates for
governor were necessary, the, con-
sensus of opinion being that "Blease-
ism is already defeated and snat
''the overwhelming majority Of the
people of South Carolina is opposed
to Bleaseism" 1t was emphasized by
tng Aiken county delegation that it
was never the intention to interfere
with the free c3oice OF the people of
the State in the primary election. 1t
was stated by the leaders in the con-
ference that it was not the intention
Of the movement to force any man
out of the race for governor, but that
the matter of elimination should be
left to the volition Of the candidates.
There was not a candidate for gov
ernor present at the conference. W.
P. Pollock, candidate for United
States senate, addressed the confer
ence.
The following resolution, offered by
George W. Croft, member of tie
3iken delegation, was adopted without
IA dissenting voice.
'Whereas, we, the delegates to the
ecent State convention from Aiken
county, issued a call for conference
of delegates from the various coun-
ties of the State, requesting the anti
Blease forces to confer as to what ac
ton, if any, should be taken prior to
the holding Of the primary election;
and,
Whereas, it was the judgment of
t5bse assembled that the overwhelm-
ing majority OF the people O, South
Carolina is opposed to Bleaseism, and
Bleaseism is already defeated; and,
Whereas, it was never t1e inten-
