Love Letters Which Will Be
Produced in Court Are
Awaited. {
DRAMATIC INCIDENT
Prosecutor Declares Woman Was
Within Six Feet of Victim When
She Used Pistol. .l

Paris, July "a Nine. Joseph Gail.
lauX stood within six feet Of CASTOR
Calmette when she fired six shots,
four Of which sent bullets into the
body of the editor and killed him in
This office last March.
With the trial of the beautiful wife
of t.. former prize minister having
coycrad every angle, from political
charges to the AFFAIR." Of CaillauX
and Mme. Gueydan, his fist wife, this
is tne point Prosecut n IIcrbaux will
bring out when medical experts, who
eya.lined the cloth ~ and body of
the dead editor, arc called to The
stand.
All Paris is anxiously awaiting an
nouncement Of the decision Of Maltrc
Labori and Mai.re Chanu as to The
disposition of a packet of letters sur
rendered yesterday by Nine. Guey-
dan. Dramatically the woman, who
charged that the present Nine. Call
lauX stole her husbands love and
drove her from her home, handed
the packet of love missives to Labor
after she had refused them to the
prosecutor and Judge Albanel. La
bori was told "to do as he pleased
with then."
Labor declared he had never had
such compliment paid to him and
! turned to the jury, assuring than that
they would know the contents of the
letters as they had the right tc eX-
pect.
It will rest with Labori and Chenu
to decide whether the letters shall be
read in open court or submitted to
the jury in private.
With the opening Of the trial to-
day, NJ. Ceccaldi, Caillaux's political
adviser, launched into n long political
speech in defense Of the former pre-
mier. Nine. Gueydan was not pres
cnt in court.
There were repeated domonstra-
tions today by sympathizers of Gail
laux and those who were reused to
frenzy by the story of Nine. Guey-
dan yesterday. Many women in the
crowd outside the Palace Of Justice
hooted and hissed Caillaux when he
appeared.
Mre. Caillaux appeared calm and
completely composed when she took
her Place in the prisoners box. She
was even paler, however, than yester-
day. FrienGs of Calmette openly de-
clared that the apparent violent
weeping yesterday during the testi-
mony Of Nine. Guaydan was feigned
for the effect it would have on the
Jury.

CAMP IN FULL SWING
members of Virginia Commands Get
ting Taste of service Similar to
that of Real Warfare.

Gordonville, Va, July 24.-Gov-
ernor Henry C. Stuart arrived in Cor
louisville today to inspect the joint
camp of the Virginia militia and the
regular army troops. The command
er-in-chief of the States forces was
accompanied by Adjutant-General W.
w. Sale and several members of his
personal staff. In honor of the visit,
brigade parade was held on the
grounds to the west of camp site.
The Governor arrived at the town
of Gordonsville this afternoon. He
was met by automobiles and a
mounted escort from the staff OF
Brigadier-G -General c. G. Vaughan.
After being brought to headquarters,
he was the guest of Colonel E. w.
Wilder, United States Army COM
mandant of the camp, and General
Vaughan. A reception for the Off
GERS was held and the review of the
troops was held later.
The brigade parade was one OF the
features of the joint camp from a
spectacular standpoint. The review
of the First Infantry on Wednesday
and of the Second Infantry yesterday
attracted large crowds of townsfolk
and persons from the surrounding
country. The prospect of seeing the
1000 troops in a huge ceremonial
created considerable interest, and
another big crowd witnessed the spec
tacle today.
The men are rapidly hardening un-
der the system of instruction given
by the regular army instructors. The
majority of the men have never been
in camp such as this before, and
are getting their first taste of this
form of drills. Many. changes, sug-
gested by the campaigns on the Mex
lean border, have been made in the
regulations covering the movements,
and these, are being Learned, by the
officers and impaired to their men,;
A baseball game yesterday between
the Blues and Gordensville was called
at the end of the sixth inning on ac-
count of heat and dinner call at camp.
Lohman. pitched for Blues, and Good
win for GordonsVille. The score was
5 to 5.

ALARMING WAR
CLOUD IN EUROPE
Austria's Ultimatum to
Servia Causing Much
Apprehension.
FACES GREAT CRISIS
Snould France and Russia Interfere
a Worldwide Conflict Would Be
Precipitatcd-

Berlin, July 24-Unless Servia
backs down from the expressed in
tention of refusing to comply with
1.-THE demands of Austria, Europe will
see the beginning of a world war"
This is the opinion freely expressed
today in governmental, military, and
diplomatic circles.
The unprecedented demands of
Austria and the sharpness of the
note addressed to Belgrade struck
Berlin as thunder clap and caused
,he greatest amazement. A high
government official declared today
that war or peace now rests entirely
with Servia.
The attitude Of the Belgrade gov
ernment is believed to depend entire
" upon the approval or disapproval
IF Russia.
Officials declare the gravest situa-
ion will be presented should France
and Russia attempts to interfere. In
such event, it is declared, the con-
nict would be shifted over night
from war between Austria and Servia
% situation menacing the peace of
all Europe.
The ultimatum sent to Belgrade
calls on the Servian government to
suppress the Pan-Servian movement
and punish those responsible for the
assassination OF ArchGuke Ferdinand
If Austria. 1t is understood that Ser
IA will refuse to comply with the
demands of the ultiLatum, which
.alls for a reply by 6 o'clock tomor-
row.
The Berliner Zeitung today de-
.lares: "The note comes as start
ling, glaring, lightning flash through
The breathless, fearful cloud resting
over Europe. It's dazzling sparks
;purt from every side. With hearts
stanGing still, the terrible crash
which will shake the world is beng
lwaited.
%"It was no diplomatic note sent by
Austria. 1t was almost a declaration
of war. Between the lines, the Aus
trian demands spring forth in fam
ing red letters of the mobilization
orders.
Austria has made all preparations
FOR war. A fleet of monitors is gath
aring at Seniiln opposite Belgrade and
| for the past two weeks troops have
been concentrating on the border. A
| partial censorship has been estab-
iished by the government, and news
papers are prohibited from publish
ng any news as to the movements of
troops or military preparations.
Baron Hoetzeniorf, chief of the
Austrian general staff, has ordered
seven army corps held in readiness
to invade Servia from Tanesvar, it
is reported here today. Failure of
Serva to comply with the demands of
the Austro- Hungarian ultimatum will
be followed Immediately by invasion
of the country, it is declared.

ROAD REPAIRS
MUST CONTINUE

Overlapping all other road prob
lens in its Importance is that of
maintenance" says Logan Waller Page,
director OF the Z. S. office OF public
roads and president Of the American
Highway association The destruc-
tive agencies of traffic and the eIe-
ueuts are unceasing in their activities
and il is idle TO talk OF permanent
roads anv more than to speak OF a
house a fence, or railroad ties as
permanent" saws Mr.. Page.
The pubic roaLs today, by reason OF
the exceptionally destructive traffic
conditions, are more cosby IN con-
struction and this is continually in
creasing with the advance IN the prices
OF labor and material. 1t is criminally
;. asteful, therefore, to invest large
sums Of public money in building the
highways demanded by traffic. unless
the investment is conserved by ale-
uuate maintenance. Without such ade-
Cuate maintenance road costing any
where from $4,000 TO $4,000 per mile
may go to ruin in year or two thus
involving a permanent loss OF con-
siderable magnitude
When IL is considered that the az
grgate expenditure on ROADS IN me
United States is well over $500, 100000
annually, the seriousness OF the ques-
ton is apparent The roads should be
