FRANCE AND AUSTRIA AT WAR
Diplomatic Relations Broken and Am
bassadors Leave - Paris Makes
Statement Explaining Move.

Paris.-It was officially announced
that France had broken off diplomatic
relations with Austrian Hungary. The
French ambassador at Vienna has left
the Austrian capital, and the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador at Paris has
asked for his passports.
The Austrian ambassador, Count
Szecsen Won Temerin, left Paris.
In announcing the breaking off Of
relations with Austria the French for
eign office made the following state-
ment:
Contrary to assurances given By
Austria to the French minister Of fors
eign affairs that no Austrian troops
were taking part In the Franao-Gers
mar war, the French government has
a~scertained beyond any possible doubs
that certain Austrian troops are al
present In Germany, outside the Aus
trian frontier. These troops, which
have set free certain German troops
destined to be employed in fighting
the French, ought individually de facto
and de jure, to be considered as acting
against France. In these circumstances
the French ambassador was ordered to
leave Vienna.

Observation-Disclosures that a state Oh

from the foreign office.
The declaration was precipitated,
according to an official announcement
of the foreign office, by the request OF
the French government that his mai

Austro-H Hungarian ambassador at Lon
don the following declaration.
AFTER having declared war on Ser
via, and having thus taken the initia-
tive in the hostilities in Europe, the
Austro Hungarian government has
placed itself, without provocation from
the government of the French repub-
lie, in a state of war with France, and
after Germany has successfully de-
clared war against Russia and France
she has interviewed in this conflict by
declaring wal on Russia, who already
was fighting on the side Of France.
According to information worthy
of belief, Hungary has sent troops
over the German frontier in such a
n as to constitute a direct men.
aCe against France.
I'm the face of these facts the
French government finds itself obliged
to declare to the Austro-Hungarian
government that 1t will take all meas
ures necessary to reply to these acts
and menaces."
The foreign office statement con-
tinues:
Communicating this declaration &C
cording to the Austro-H Hungarian am
bassador, his majesty's government has
declared to his excellency that the
rupture of France having been brought
about in this way, 1t feels itself Obliged
to |announce that a state Of war ex-
lists between Great Britain and Aus
i~a-Hungary."
Official arrangements have been
made for the Austro-Hungarian ambas-
sador and his personal representative
to leave London.

Altkirch and Mulhausen the French
infantry got completely out of hand
and with almost insane bravery impet-

precautions whatever. The French Of
ficePs were utterly unable to restrain
the excessive zeal Of their men and
the losses of this force were very.
heavy, about 1900 of a total force of
1000 being killed. Some of the French
soldiers, who were for some reason
without rifles, determined not to be

NORTH SEA IS NOW MINED

ping-U. S. Notified.

Notwithstanding the North Sea
as part of the plan Of the European
war not only may close most Of the
northern European ports to navigation,
but the gold-laden cruiser Tennessee,
the cruiser North Carolina and neutral
passenger vessels bearing Americans
from Europe will be confronted with
new dangers.
The American government was adj
vised formally by the British embassy
here that, inasmuch as Germany had
been scattering mines indiscriminate-
ly" Great Britain no longer could re-
frain from planting mines near her own
ports.
Secretary Bryan said Americans at
home might rest assured that the pas
senger liners plying between northern
European ports would take no chances
that would imperil life. 1t is believed
that Americans In northern ports will
remain there for the present or make
their way south and southeast to such
ports as Marseilles or Lisbon to OBJ
tain passagesfor the United States.
An itinerary for the cruisers Tennes-
see and North Carolina bearing mill
lions in gold for the relief Of Ameri.
has been announced, but
as both Great Britain and Germany
have given warning of the dangers In
the North Sea, it Is being taken for
granted here that neither of the Amer
lean warships will venture into those
waters.

Brussels.-Everything points to the
TACT that the Belgians are expecting a
great battle in the open within a very
short time.
BY this time there Is an enormous
force of French troops In Belgium;
probably a large part of the five army
corps which France promised last
week.
The greater part Of the Belgian
army is concentrated under King AL.
bert and has been Joined by the field
force, which has played such a heroic
part in the defense OF Liege. 1t is
ready and eager for the first great &C.
tion which may have an ~incalculable
effect on the future of the nation.
The activity of the Germans during
the last day or two Is significant. They
have been waiting for achievements
to come up, and by this time there
must be six German army corps &C.
tually in Belgian territory. or all
ready to be thrown across the from
tier.
To the south of Liege the Germans
are concentrating In overwhelming
force, and Gen. Won Emmich must
now have at least 100000 men under
his command. 1t is stated here that
the Germans are mobilizing the sec
ond and third reserves, In the Cologne
and Coblenz area. y
The Belgians are naturally flushed
by the valor shown at Liege. They
are in splendid fettle and are eager
for the great trial of strength In the
field.
Military experts here expect a bat
tie about the middle of August, or
sooner perhaps, If the Germans move
forward en- masse, or a little later II
they await the attack of the allies.
