Declaration of
War by Austria

Vienna, July 28.-The declaration of
war was eazetted here late this after
noon. The text is as follows:
1.-THE Royal Government of servia
not having replied in satisfactory
manner to the note remitted to 1t by
the Austro Hungarian minister in Bel
grade on July %, 1914, tho Imperial
and Royal government finds itself
compelled to proceed to safeguard it's
rights and interests and to have re-
course for this purpose to force of
arms.
Austria Hungary considers itself,
therefore, from this moment, in state
of war with Servia.

Austria's Determination

There is no doubt in British minds
that Austria had fully resolved to util-
ize the provocation afforded by the
Sarayevo murders to wipe the slate
clean of all accounts against Servia,
and served an ultimatum on her which
was designed to have no result save
war. The next news expected is the
occupation of Belgrade, and that even
now may be an accomplished fact Re-
ports of small encounters along the
frontier have been permitted TO pass
the censor but military experts here
believe that mobilization has already
been affected and that a thoroughly
planned campaign is we'll under way
There is absolutely no enthusiasm in
England for war nor no desire for this
particular war which confronts Great
Britain; yet there is a general belief
that her obligations to her partners
in the Triple Entente, as we'll as her
interests as a great European Power,
will force her to support Russia and
France in any steps they may take.

Washington, July 2S.-With bill
lion and nearly three hundred million
dollars in gold in coin and bullion
stored in treasury vaults and about
$600,000,000 more of coin in circulation,
treasury officials said tonight the
United States had no cause for alarm

Secretary McAdoo explained that the
country never was in better position
to send some of it's millions abroad,
and declared there was nothing to

demands. 1t was pointed out also that
while Europe just now was drawing
upon Americas gold supply it would
only be a short time before the money

Vienna, July est is with feeling
of 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 today announced by formal dec
laration.
Whether the war will be confined to
the two countries cannot yet be said,
but the feeling on this point in high
official circles is optimistic. Even the
certain knowledge, however, that Rus
STA would intervene would not. cause
Austria to hesitate a moment or alter
her course in the slightest.
JubiIation Manifested
The news of the formal declaration
of war ran through the city before the
extra editions of newspapers could
reach the vendors hands and was
everywhere greeted with a spirit which
might be described as close TO relig-
ious exaltation.
Vienna is absolutely without news
of the movements of the troops which
the papers are forbidden to print. A
sharp censorship has been established
over the press and all means or com
munication. A great crowd which con-
stantly increased in numbers, assem-
bled before the war ministry and
chers greeted the appearance of mill
tary officers and the ministry officials.
The evening papers published the fol-
lowing inspired statement:
In 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 Edwards re-
marks, but regarding what he has said
concerning the suppression of military
operations, things have proceeded too
far to allow anything to be done in
this direction

Servian capital is now located at Nish,

Worlds Markets
DemOralized by
War Declaration

Expectation of war between
Austria Hungary and Servia
and its subsequent declaration
today demoraIized the markets
of the world.
War was not declared until
after the 5ourse of Europe had
closed, but in London, Berlin
and Paris, panicky conditions
and severe declines in securities
anticipated the announcement.
At all three capitals, bonds of
the governments in Europe
which have been steadily drop
ping, registered further losses.
In Vienna the Bourse had
been closed since Saturday, but
there. was a heavy run on the
Austrian Savings Banks, the
most important in the dual
monarchy.
In Paris the commercial ex-
change suspended all dealings
in grains, sugar and other COM
modities and exchange on Lon
don and private discounts for
the first time in years were not
quoted.
In Berlin, runs on savings
banks begun yesterday, grew
heavier.
In London after the close of
the stock market, stocks tun-
bIed on the curb.
News of the declaration
reached this country while
markets were in session. With
it came an avalanche of foreign
selling on the New York Stock
Exchange. Leading securities
slumped from to 20 points
and conditions paraiIeIed in
their intensity the domestic
panic of 1907. The stock ex-
changes of Montreal and To-
ronto suspended their sessions.
On the Chicago Board of Trade,
there was tremendous rise in
wheat and the widest trading
in many years. This was pre-
dicted on the expectation that
war in Europe would create a
demand for our grain. Other
food stuffs also advanced. These
conditions were reflected in all
the produce markets of the
country. On the other hand,
smart declines were recorded
/, not+op futures at New York
ard New Orleans. Coffee also
slumped, due it was reported to
fears that contemplated financ-
ing in Europe of the Brazilian
crop would fail.
Foreign exchange was de-
moralized and millions in gold
were engaged at New York for
shipment to London and Paris.

Much shaken with emotion. Madame

the guards making a lane through the
crowd. She covered her face with her
hands as if to shield herself from the
furious cries of ''murderess.
By way of number of narrow cor
ridors and back stair cases, she
reached a small side door in the Fall

was waiting and drove off unobserved

friend. Deputy Pascal Ceccaldi. amid
mingled cheers and boots.
Thus ended the most sensational
trial that Partisan courts have had to
deal with in years
The session of the court today was
devoted to speeches by counsel. Mad
anne Caillaux had come into The pris-
oner's dock pale and worn, and she
collapsed during the course of the adj
dress of Maitre Chenu, which scored
her bitterly.
Maitre Labor, who came last, deiiv-
cred a masterpiece of passionate elo-
quence. He concluded amid tempest
of applause:
MY wish is that Madame Caillaux
shall leave here acquitted and that
the press shall be purified. Let us keep
our anger for our enemies abroad.
Let us leave this court resolute and
united to face the perils which threat
en- us
Demonstrations against the Caillaux
verdict occurred in several places to-
night. In the boulevards the excited
crowds discussing the merits of the
case grew to large proportions. and
when the jurys verdict became known

of Down with Caillaux!"

Thousand Spectators

For trifie over an hour thousand
spectators enjoyed a succession of
thrills that came first from one court
and then from the other.
The dash and abandon of Murray,
the terrific smashes of Mclaughlin
and the long allies and lightning eX-
changes across the net between the
two pairs in the doubles furnished a
brand of tennis rarely seen in one en-
closure.
Mclaughlin was forced to uncover his
choicest and most, effective shots and his
clsverest generalship. In the last set
when Murray had a lead of five games to
three, the champion never wavered. Muir
ray lacked but a stroke to win in the
10th game. but Mclaughlin leaped far
into the air. smashed the ball out of his
opponents reach and saved himself from
defeat The younger player kept his head
and for the first time in nearly year
Mclaughlin was compelled to play sever
al extra games in order to win. Side
line critics were of the opinion that
through Murray the California tennis SUI
premacy would easily be maintained in
case Mclaughlin should cease playing,
an unlikely contingency.
For a set and a half Pell and Behr
played the finest doubles game seen at
Longwood for many a year. The we'll
known team of Hackett and Alexander
broke before it and almost went to pieces.
Then Behr became reckless and began
driving out of court and sending easy
balls into the net. He seemed utterly
unable to handle the Sky-scraping lObS
which Hackett tossed to him, while Some
of his attempted kills were amusing.
Pelfs steadiness saved the day and in
the last set it was his careful placing
that brought the games to five-all and
finally carried off the next two and the
