About n dozen cases OF the disease APP

recent outbreaks In this country the origin
Of the malady has been traced TO Greece

to Greek immigration. The Greeks seem
peculiarly susceptible TO the disease.
The las. steamship that arrived here

BERLIN. July 2S.-Austria
today formally declared war

Troops are being massed on
the border, reservists are pour

and all preparations are being
made for an Immediate inva-

trian warships and transports
are moving up and down the
Danube and within a short
time official report of the occu
patton Of Belgrade is expected.
The formal declaration Of
war followed the rejection of
the proposals of Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign minister,
for mediation. Both Austria
and Germany refused to con-
Isider mediation as to the issues
between the Vienna and Bel
grade governments.
In notes addressed to Grey, the
two governments left the way open
for further negotiations between the
powers looking toward localization Of
the war. Austria refused to submit
to an ambassadorial conference.

kaiser accepted in principle the plan
of the British foreign minister, it was
pointed out unofficially before the for
NAL reply vas made that Germany
would not ,prove of any mediation
plan without the consent Of Austria,
her ally. Germany indicated that she
approved in a general way the plan
advanced by Grey, but declared it was
impossible for her to dictate to her
ally in respect to her dealings with
Servia.
Austria was determined that Servia
should accede to all demands made in
the uItimatum delivered last week or
take the consequences Of war.
Servia took the position that she
had gone as far as possible In the re-
