Mr.. Simmer played prominent
part in the unionizing of bakery
shops here recently. He was one OF
the first employing bakers to sign
agreements to unionize shops, taking
this action at time when eyes OF
union men and employers were upon
him. Other bakers seemed to look
to him for the initiative steps. Once
he signed, the path for the unioniz-
ing OF all shops seemed clear
1t is reported in both Democratic
and Republican circles that Mr..
Simmen's action in being one of the
first to unionize bakery shops gave
some significance in connection with
his prospective political career. 1t

ist in momentary expectation Of.

many against Russia. Semi-ofticial
information received here states that
Germany has been officially declared
ain a state of war" The latest move
places all railroads, telegraph lines,
channels of communication and
transportation directly under the
army. The German war department
has now superseded all civil authori-
ties throughout the empire and while
no formal announcement of the fact
has yet been made to the powers, II
is generally believed here that the
German mobilization is already
secretly under way.
Cable communication between
Berlin and London has been serious

all incoming dispatches bear evidence
of the most rigid censorship. All in
quiries from London newspapers ana

diplomatic intercourse has apparent

Berlin that war has actually been
declared. British military experts
are generally quoted as expressing

London, July 31.-The veil of a
continental press censorship tonight
curtains the scenes on the action in
Europe's war drama.
London, the only capital whose
press is free to publish the facts, is
without facts to publish. Rumors
and unauthenticated reports abound
Known facts regarding the war game
are rare indeed The Balkans are
completely isolated. Not one con-
frmed news dispatch relative to ac-
tivities south of the Danube has
come through. Vienna is almos'
unreported. Germany has formally
announced a state of war, but
through semi-official dispatches, in
which no dependency is placed, has
denied the mobilization of her army
There seems little doubt but that
German mobilization of both army
and navy is being rushed at top

Just what effect Mr.. Grace's candidacy
