gram. IAN amendment to the general
deficiency bill, that f.s brought out all
the pent up eloquence of many members
for and against the particular item,
caused roll cali today which Representa-
tive Oscar Underwood, chairman of the
ways and means committee, will long re-
member. Underwood pet measure to give
confederate officers longevity allowances
went down with a crash, the north and
representatives from the south voting
against the amendment. The representa-
tives from Nebraska who are on their
Jobs, consisting Of Kinkald, Sloan, Bar

ground TO vote for the amendment
The amendment, which is in the interest
OF "Confederates, provides for the pay

who resigned from the service of the
United States to go into the confederacy,
hut no provision was made for those Off
GERS who refused TO resign from the
United states service
Years ago a number OF union soldiers
tried 20 get this longevity play. but con-
gress turned them down Today the

Formal Announcement Of War.
Then today came the formal announce
ncnt OF war by Austria Hungary. one Of
other two countries In which are Ger
mary and Italy.
TIE notification Of the fact was sent
this afternoon to the servian government,
whkh has its temporary headquarters at
Kraguyevatz
II was anticipated here that a declara-
ton OF beginning OF hostllities would fol-
low quickly on Germanys s decision to hoid
aloof from any scheme of mediation. The
German Foreign office had said that a
conference OF Ambassadors would IN it's
opinion serve no useful purpose while
convers ations' between Vienna and 81.
Petersburg were stiu in progress.
The attitude of Russia was watched
carefully today in official circles here,
and the firm belief was expressed that
Russia would enter the lists In support
Of the little slavic kingdom as soon as
fighting started in earnest.
SECOND Move by Grey.
in the meantime Sir Edward Grey took
tine initiative OF requesting the European
powers TO permit their ambassadors in
London to confer with a view to a peace
ful solution Of the controversy Italy
and France at once consented TO Join their
efforts to those of Great Britain, but
Germany and Austria refused, Germany
supporting It's ally in the contention that
II would be undisnified for a great power
lil0e Austria to appear before tribunal
of European powers on the same status
as the little -calkAn nation.
Anstria-Hungary in the interval had
proceeded rapidly with the mobilization
OF its great army. The entire railroad
system was utilized for the movement
OF troop trains the telegraph system was
virtually monopolzed for Government
business and a strict censorship was i'm

Information here today that Provisional

gates Immediately to Saltillo to arrange
the transfer of executive authority OF

1t was announced Carranza would not

ENJOYS. who were expected to reach
Saltililo about the same time Carranza

1t was understood here today that Of

OF Austrias mobilization, Austria now be
compelled to ask for new guarantees.
Words OF C1nr.
The St Petersburg correspondent Of
the Times says:
Now that matters have become calmer,
may quote sentence used by the
emperor at the close OF a grand council
on Saturday-'We have stood this sort
of thing for seven and a half years; that
is enough
''Thereupon his majesty authorized
orders for partial mobilization, confined
to the Fourteenth army corps on the Aus
trian frontier. At the same time an inti-
nation was given to Germany that orders
for the mobilization of the Russian army
would follow Immediately upon mobiliza-
tion by Germany.
These words and acts we're believed to
be largely responsible for the sudden
change in the International session. The
general impression in diplomatic circles
Is that Austria has gained so much by
Servia's almost complete acceptance Of
the terms of the ultimatum that it is diff
ficult to believe 1t would risk war with
Russia and European conflagration by
driving Servia to the wall

had been filed against him.
Although County Attorney Magney had
been inclined to the belief that as yet
there was not sufficient evidence avail
able against Poiear on which to arrest
him, he at once said that u Polcar
continued in the same frame OF mind
and complaint should be filed by
Commissioner Lynch he would push the
case to an immediate hearing.
