London, Aug. 3.-Four great powers
OF Europe-Austria- Hungary. Russia,
France and Germany-are now en-
gagged in actual warfare. but two Of
them, Germany and France. not only
have not declared war against each
other. a. far a. IL known here, but
have not even severed diplomatic 70
lations. This in despite the fact that
Germany's ultimatum to France has
either been ignored or rejected.
The explanation Of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus Of beginning the war.
In fact. while the nations Of Europe
are flying at each others throats, they
are vieing with each other In protest
ing their desire to maintain peace. and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole continent into
bloodshed.
In this remarkable sitAtioa. France.
according to British opinion, has The
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobflise and sesns
to have taken the greatest peeoaA,
tons to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany. In -.
dition to invading Freach territory
without making . formal declaration
Of war, has violated the neutrality
laws by the seizure Of Luxemburg and
declines to give any pledge to respect
Belgian neutrality.
1t 10 difficult to SEQ how Great Brt

anxiety.
One German force crossed the
French frontier near the village oe
Grey. between Nancy and Strassburg.
and another German detachment, prob
ably the Twentieth infantry seized the
grand duchy Of Luxemburg, neutral
territory between Belgium and Ger
many. and continued its march On the
French fortified town of Lougwy. A
dispatch from Brussels said this force
later in the day entered France and
was hurrying in to Paris.

convinced officials Of the Washington
government and prominent diplomats
that internal peace is near at hand.
The appointment Of Francisco Carba-
jail as minister of foreign affairs
means the retirement Of General
Huerta in his favor as provisional
president, according to messages from
the Mexican capital to diplomats here.
The capture by the Constitutional
lists of Guadalajara, within striking
distance Of the Mexican capital, has
emphasized to the people in the ter
ritory controlled by Huerta that the
military triumph of the revolution is
inevitable. This is the tenor of the
information which is reaching officials
here along with the news that persons
prominently identified with the Huerta
government are quietly leaving the
country with their families, fearing

TWO SISTERS SLAY,
BROTHER IN FIELD
Had PractiCed Shooting at Mark
Several Days.
TRAGEDY CAUSED BY WILL
Mother Had Left All Of Her Prop.
erty To Son - Admit They
Did the shooting-one
Faints, Other Shoots.

Sterling, Ill.-Mrs. Lee Hutton and
Miss Lillian Byers, sisters, are held
without bail for the grand jury, pend.
ing investigation of the killing of their
brother, Emanuel Byers.
According to the story told by Byers
as he was dying, partly corroborated
by the admissions of the sisters, the
women approached Byers as he was at
work on his farm. They had been
disputing earlier in the day in regard
to the failure of Byers to call physi'
clan to care for the aged father Of the
three.
Mamie, we are going to kill you,
one Of the sisters is said to have re-
marked.
'You ought to be ashamed Of your
selves to talk that way" was the
brothers response.
One of the sisters then drew q re-
volver from the folds of her dress and
opened fire on the brother. She fell
fainting, and her sister took the
weapon and emptied it at the brother.
He fell with four bullets in his body
Falling, he threw the pitchfork at the
women, striking one of them in the
face but not seriously injuring her.
The women made no effort to escape
arrest and coolly stated that, while
they were sorry they had killed the
brother, he deserved It.
The Byers' mother died several
months ago and left all her property
to the son, cutting off the daughters.
This caused much feeling, and officers
believe it was in part responsible for
the tragedy.

The story Of "ReckIess and Prohl9ate'
Financial Operations Sent To the
senate-Dlrectors OF the sys-
TEN Bitterly Scored.

washington, D. C.-The story OF the
areckIess and profigate" financial
operations of the New Haven Railroad
one of the most remarkable chapters
In the history of American railroads
and American finance, was revealed IN
part by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in a report to the Senate OF
its investigation Of that road.
Criminal negligence" and "one OF
the most glaring instances OF malad-
ninistration revealed in all the history
Of American railroading," were the
terms the Interstate Commerce Com
mission employed in reporting on its
investigation of New Haven Railroad
financial affairs.
The Commissions conclusions may
be summed up this way:
Losses to New Haven stockholders
for the acts of their directors will
range from S6O,OOO,OO0 to $9O,OOO,O0O.
Suits to recover the money should lie
In some cases.
Many Of the transactions, character
lied violations of the laws Of New
York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts
and the Federal Antitrust laws, have
been reported to the authorities Of the
States and the Federal Department Of
Justice.
The depreciation Of the Boston and
Maine began when the "Mellen-Mor-
gan-Rockefeller management" came
into control.
John L. Billiard and the Billiard Com
pany were merely agencies of the New
Haven; Billiard never used dollar Of
his own money and burned his books.
"AN the assets of the Billiard Com
pany belong to New Haven stockhold-
ers and q suit by the railroad against
Billiard and those who participated in
the transactions should be main
tanned"
Dummy corporations and their use
are condemned in unmeasured terms.
The system of interlocking directors
Is condemned as it existed on the New
Haven and in general.
President Mellen's dealings with
former Police Inspector Byrnes, Of
New York, in the Westchester Rail-
road transaction, were branded as
corrupt and unlawful"
The purchase of Rhode Island troll
ley lines and coastwise steamships
were described as extravagant and
wasteful.
ALI the transactions, the commits
sion holds, were consummated with
the object of setting up complete
transportation monopoly in New Eng
land in violation of the Federal
statutes.
