LONDON, England, July %.
Though the war cloud hung
low over all Europe throughout
the day, the situation took a sud-
den change for the better late this
afternoon owing 10 these two i'm
portant developments:
emperor William and Car
Nicholas took the threatened dis
pute of their countries arising
from the AuStro-Servian conflict
out of the hands of their foreign
ministers and ambassadors and
assumed personal charge of the
matters at issue.
2-The AuStro-Hungarian gov
ernment permitted this authorita-
tive announcement 10 be made
here:
"What ever action Austria
Hungary may be compelled to
take it will not be the acquisition
or retention of territory. Austria
Hungary desires only the perman-
ent safety of her own territory
and definitely to decide the rela-
tionS with Servia. AuStria'S ac-
ton is essentially defensive.
The first glimmer of hope that
diplomats here had received came
with the knowledge that the SOW
ereignS of Russia and Germany
we're in direct communication. Ii
had been feared that Car Mich
olaS in whose hands lay the de
ciSion of peace or war, would be
influenced by the strength of the
Russian war party and his bellig-
erent cabinet TO take a hostile
step that would have precipitated
a conflict into which every power
Of Europe would have been drag
ged.

fore parliament that the situation was
one OF most extreme gravity. This
caused pessimism in diplomatic circles
which had looked TO England to find
a way out Of the tangle.
The gloom lightened, however, when
a Berlin dispatch announced that Will
liam and Nicholas were exchanging
views Then came the announcement
that Austria would not seek the ac-
QUESTION of territory. The revival of
optimism was evidenced by the fact
that the stock exchange which had
been on the verge of panic since trad
ing opened Monday. closed firmer this
afternoon than on either Monday or
Tuesday. Leading financiers were in
a more cheerful mood and expressed
a belief that within "a hours the great
crisis would have been passed.
Activity at Foreign Office.
Before the unexpected developments
restored the hope that had earlier
go..e glimmering. the British foreign
ONCE presented an animated scene. In
rapid succession the ambassadors Of
Russia, Germany, Austria, Spain and
France called upon Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign secretary.
Paul CambOn and Count Becken-
dorff representatives, respectively, OF
France and Russia were cheered by "A
departure. Count LichnOwsky. the
German envoy, received no greeting.
The crowd remembered that the
British fleet had sailed from Portland
early in the day. and their patriotism
was fired by the thought that the Eng
lish warships might be on their way
10 fight the German armada concen-
trated at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven.
Mobilization il Restricted.
Another important fact which de-
veloped during the day was the semi
official announcement that the mObili-
zation Of the Russian troops had been
confined 10 four military districts
Kieff. Odessa. Moscow and kaZan. In
each district there were four army
corps on a peace footing. The mob
ilization orders converted these 16
corps into 50.

See Disaster Ahead.
AMERICAN SECURITIES
WOULD Be UNLOADED

NEW YORK, July 29.-OpiniOns as
to the effect Of a general European
war on the United States among bank
ers and brokers connected with the
New York stock exchange differed to-
day. the bankers appearing TO believe
that in the end the war would prove
beneficial to our business interests.
While the brokers seem TO think that
such a war would only result in harm.
Henry Clews, the banker. believes
that while the early period Of the
conflict might affect American busi-
ness, the American businessman would
be sure to profit in the long run.
The first effect Of war" said Mr..
Clews. would be a shock to financial
affairs, as the impulse OF the timid
is to run securities into cash, and as
American securities are the easiest to
get rid OF. prices here would natural
ly decline. However, should a for
eign war be likely to last some time,
the armies would take men from the
fields, the shop and the manufacture
ing places and the products OF the
countries affected would greatly be
curtailed. This would lead 10 an in
creased demand for the products OF
the United states and would stimu-
late business here.

governors Of the New York stock ex-

We get il by the blOckades that would
be established?
Prices would go up here as well
as in Europe and people here would
suffer. The cost of living Is hish

American securities would be the
only ones that would be worth any
thing and everyone who wanted 70
