WAR IS DECLARED
IF ALL-EUROPEAN.
RUSSIA WILL DECIDE
VIENNA REJO|CES
OVER PROSPECT
OF H0ST|L|T|ES

Vienna, July 2s.--It Is with a feeling of
I Intense relief that the people in the Dual
Monarchy look forward to the war with
Servia which for several days has seemed
to be inevitable and which was to-day
announced by formal declaration
Whether the war will be confined TO
| the two countries cannot yet be said but
the feeling on this point IN high Off
cial circles Is optimistic. Even tho Ger
| tain knowledge, however, that Russia
would intervene would not cause Austria
to hesitate a moment or alter her course
in the slightest.
The news of tho formal dcclar ration of
war ran through the city before the ex-
ira editions of the papers could reach
the vendors hands, and was everywhere
greeted with a spirit which might be de-
scribed as close to religious exaltaton.
Vienna is absolutely without news Of
the movements of the troops, which the
papers are naturally forbidden to print
sharp censorship has been established
over the press and all means Of commu-
nication.
A great quiet crowd which constantly
increased in numbers assembled before
the war ministry and cheers greeted tn,
appearance of military officers and tho
ministry officials. The evening papers
published the following inspired state
ment:
I'm well informed circles the view
Is held that so far as Sir Edward
Grey's proposal Is to localize the con-
flict between Austria Hungary and
Servia, the former can declare herself
entirely agreed with Sir Edward
Grey's remarks, but regarding what
he has said concerning the suppress
sion OF military operations things have
proceeded much too far for anything
to be done In this direction"
Advices from belgrade said that
the Servian capital is now located at
Nish. where the Skupschtina (natlonaI
assembly, met to-day All Scrvians
between eighteen and sixty years of
age, able to bear arms, have been
called out, and mobilization IS pro-
ceeding rapidly although the paes-
ants who will have to leave their har-
vesting are reported to be much dis
contended.
The Militearish Runchau reports
sharp fighting along the River Drina,
Servian volunteers attempting to
cross the river being resolutely OPP
posed by Austrian frontier troops. 1t
also reports that the Servians fired on
their own river transports by mis-
take, killing and wounding number
of Servian soldiers
The ministry of foreign affairs has
addressed verbal note to the foreign
representatives, informing them of
the declaration Of war and declaring
that Austria will. on the ASSUMPTION
OF similar observances on the part of

OCCUPATION OF BELGRADE
PROBABLY NEXT MOVE

London, July 2S-There is no doubt in
British minds that Austria had fully re-
'lDlved to utilize the provocation afforded
by the Sarayevo murders to wipe the
Nate clean Of all accounts against Ser
via, and served an ultimatum on her
which was designed to have no result
save war.
The next news expected is the occupa-
ton OF Belgrade, and that even now may
be an accomplished fact. Reports OF
small encounters along the front have
been permitted to pass the censor. but
military experts here believe that mobi-
fzation has already been effected and
that a thoroughly planned campaign Is
we'll under way.
Thore Is absolutely no enthusiasm In
England for war-no desire for this par
ocular war which confronts Great Brit
ain; yet there is general belief that
her obligations to her partners In the
Triple Entente. as well as her interests
As great European power, will force
her to support Russia and France In any
Iteps they may take.
The darkest DEVELOPMENTS OF the day
were received without excitement but
with the deepest gloom, The Immediate
,ffect Of the war cloud Is likely to be n
compromise on home rule, since all mr.
lies feel that domestic d,sscntions must
be settled at all costs I'm the face OF peftl
from without
Tho fierce demands Of the conservative
papers for general election have been
wholly hushed. The foreign office has
BECOME the most important branch Of
government and no one wants 20 risk the
possession Of losing Sir Edward Grey,
with his exceptional influence I'm the conn
rlls OF Europe.
The government is confronting the fit
uatiOn with perfect calmness. There is no
sign of unusual events at the foreign Of
nee, except that the prime minister, Mr.
6squith, who seldom visits that Office,
called there this evening and conferred
with Sir Arthur Nicholson. permanent
under-sccretary, and the Austrian an
bassador came to make formal announce

The ships of the British fleet every
where are taking on supplies. Soon OTTER
II became definitely known that Austria
and Servia were at war ali the officers and
sailors ashore at Portland and weymouth

One OF the darkest features the situa-
don presents is the probable paralysis

may be quoted has TO DO with a Chinese
