Rupture Was Dramatic.

St Petersburg. Aug. 2.-The rupture
of diplomatic relations between Rus
sia and Germany was dramatic. 1t
was midnight Friday when Count Won
Pourtales, German ambassador to
Russia, formally asked Foreign Minis
ter Sasanoff that Russia cease her
mobilization in twelve hours. The al
lotted period passed without an an
swer
AT O'Clock Saturday evening
Count Won Pourtaes again asked if
Russia would cease mobiliziag her
forces.
TO this the Russian statesman re-
piled:
"Insomuch as the Russian govern
ment has not answered within the
time you specified, it follows that Rus
sia has declined to agree with your
demand
Three times Count Won Pourtales
| received the German utimatum and
\ each time the ROIssian foreign minis
, ter gave the same firm negative
Finally Count Won Pourtales bowed
/ and left the room. He and the mem
| bers of his staff at once departed
from st. Petersburg by way of Fin
| land.
According to the Novo Vremya,
Count Won Pourtales held the type
written texts of two replies from Ger
many. One was for the presentation
in the event Of Russian acceptance OF
the German ulumatum and the other
IN case of its rejection. In his great
agitation the German ambassador pre-
serted both replies to M. Sasanoli
! at the same time. The protection oi
Russians in countries at war with Rus
sia has been entrusted to Spain.
Paris, Aug. 2.-The deep indlgha
| ton caused in France by Germany
methods in beginning the war is volc
ed by the Temps, which says:
"Up to the last moment the French
aad Russian governments had given
Germany credit for acting in good
faith. There Is now no longer douD'
that 1t is an ambush. Russians, Eng
lishmen and Frenchmen must stanC
united against the powers of brigand
i age who have just been unmasked.
"The British government YESTERDAY

that England could not remain neu

years Germany has prowled aroun'
us, but by prolonging the menace sh
has taught us our lesson.

PRESIDENT SELECTS
 l. HUGH |. SCOTT ID |. BE CHIEF 0F STAFF
Kentuckian Named to Sue ceed Major General Woth- erspoon, Who Retires
 Monday

Washington, November IA.-Brig. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott was selected by President Wilson today to be chief of staff of the United Stntes army upon the retirement next Monday of Major General WotherspoOn. The vacancy of Wotherspoon's retirement will be filled by the nomination of Brig. Gen. Fred ericI Funston, now in command at Vera Cruz.
 Brig Gen. Tasxer H. Bliss will become chief of the mobile army division and upon the retirement of Major General Murray on April 29. 1915, General Scott will be appointed a major general.
 Secretary Garrison, making these am with the President, said for the present General Funston would remain at Vera Cruz.
 Garrison's Statement
 Upon the retirement of Major General Carter on November 1s. 1915, Brig. Gen Tasker H. Bliss also will become major general.
 MT. Garrison's statement adds:
 "The next three vacancies in the rank of brlgader general are due as follows: First. to the infantry second, to the in- fantry; third. to the coast artillery. Upon the occurrence of these vacancies the following colonels will be promoted to fill the same: Henry A. Greene, infantry: William A. Mann, infantry; Frederick $. Strong. coast artillery"
 General Scott. who became assistant chief of staff when General WOtherspoon succeeded General Wood as chief, grad uated from the military academy in ls75. He has spent most of his military life in the cavalry branch. More closely than any officer of his rank in the army he has been identified with the Indians and semi wards of the government. General Scott spent 1T years in the grade of first lieutenant at lonely western army posts during the stagnation in promotion which attended the old practice Of regi- 1 mental promotion He became an adept | in the various Indian tongues and espe- | cially the Indian sign language. This spe- | cial qualification brought him much del- ! icate and difficult service to the great credit of his record.
 l General Scott was born in Kentucky in l 1858 and appointed to the military acad- env in 1871. At the outbreak of the Spanis war when he was a captain he was given a volunteer commission as ma for and assistant adjutant general and | attached to the Fifth army corps.

Washington, November 13.-Notes re- gently presented by Great Britain and France regarding alleged violations of neutrality by Ecuador and Colombia. are receiving the serious consideration of state department officials.
