called upon Russia to cease her mo-
bilization in II hours. The announc-
ed period of time passed without an
answer.
At o'clock Saturday evening Count
Won Pourtales again called upon M.
Sazanoff and again asked If Russia
would cease modifying her forces. To
this the Russian statesman replied
"Insomuch as the Russian govern
ment has not answered within the
time you specified it follows that Rus
STA has declined to agree with your
Demands"
Three times Count Won Pourtales
repeated the German ultimatum and
each time the Russian foreign min

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE United
States government today extended a
helping hand to the thousands of
Americans, who are stranded abroad
without means of cashing their checks
or letters of credit, owing to the finan-
cial stringency produced by European
war
Besides forwarding hundreds of tele-
grams to Americans through diplomat
ic channels, orders were sent by the

cations and embassies to use every in
fluence at their disposal to obtain
money for citizens of the United
States.

that there were enough ships running

leave for home. The administration let
it be known that if necessary large
quantities of gold would be shipped to
American embassies to cash checks
for Americans.
Americans living abroad permanent
ly, who are paid by monthly remit

money direct from America.

ITALIAN PARTIES
BRING FORCE TO
BEAR AGAINST
PARTICIPATION

Rome, Aug. 1.-The Socialists, the
Republicans and the anarchists of
Italy are conducting a campaign to
prevent not only Italy's participation
In ar eventual European conflict but
even military preparations in the
Kingdom.
A meeting of protest has been con-
voked for tomorrow in which the rail-
road men and the workmen's unions
also will take part. 1t is intended
to decide upon and issue an ultima
tum to the government to the effect
that either Italy shall abstain from
any warlike attitude, or the workmen
in all industries, including railroad
and steamer transportation, will go
on strike Milan is the central point
of this agitation.
Situation More Grave
The war situation, so far as Italy
is concerned, is considered more grave
today. The censorship has succeeded
in suppressing all news except a short,
colorless official statement that ITALY
is calm and will not mobilize but will
conform her conduct to treaty abli-
cations"
This statement is interpreted differ
emily here. According to the opinion
OF some 1t means the neutrality of
Italy, while others believe that Italy
will participate in the conflict only in
case the central powers suffer a re-
verse.
Meanwhile all projects in the King
dom nave warned the press not to
publish any military news or move
ments of troops.
