POWERS Of EUROPE
EXPECT REAL WAR
Diplomats Say Gar Holds
Fate of Tense Situation on
Continent.

LONDON, July 29.-"Europe expects
war. The fate Of the peace efforts
now being made rests with Car Mich
olas of Russia"
This terse summary of the situation
that menaces all Europe with ter
rible conflict that will involve millions
of men and cause billions of dollars
loss, was given today by diplomatic
representatives of one of the greatest
powers of the continent.
Dispatches from all the capitals cor
roborated his views. Austria and
Servia are at war. The aim of the
powers striving for peace are now di-
rected to localizing their conflict.
A special session of the British
cabinet was called today by Premier
Asquith to discuss the situation and
decide what further steps England
should take to avert the imminent con-
fident Every member OF the pre-
mier's official family attended the
meeting.
While the cabinet was in session
it vas learned that the Austrian gov.
eminent had notified the British for
eign office that no further considera'
ton would be given to the proposal
for an ambassadorial conference.
This was the sharpest rebuff that
British diplomacy had ever received
in it's relations with other European
powers. 1t will not lessen Englands
efforts to avert a catastrophe, how
ever. Conversations will be continued
with the purpose of localizing the Bal
kan conflict.
Cancellation of the worlds peace
congress, which was to have been held
in Vienna in September, indicates
belief on the part of the Austrian
officers who had the arrangements in
charge that their country will be a,
war at that time. Peace leaders here
eyre astounded by the action taken al
Vienna.

TO AVOID TROUBLE
Young Man Accused Of Theft
Reforms in Police Court
Today.

Standing with his right hand above
his head and facing Mayor Robbins,
Ed Gray solemnly swore this morn
ing:
Il take my oath that will never
again enter saloon nor will l ever
again take drink"
Having taken that oath the mayor
withheld judgment against the young
man, who was charged with having
stolen an old overcoat from John Car
son. He had denied this charge, say
ing he had taken the coat from the
Carson home in the belief it was his
own and had sent it to the home of a
sister near New Castle. Prosecutor
Keller said he did not believe Gray
was altogether to blame and recon-
mended leniency. He also advised
that Gray take "the pledge" SO he
would not get into trouble again.
The young mans aged mother wept
with joy when he swore to abstain
from intoxicants in the future. His
younger sister, Mrs. Otto Phillips of
New Castle smiled with happiness
This young woman had walked five
miles from New Castle to her elder
sisters home. carrying her infant in
her arms, and after securing Carson's
overcoat walked back with it and the
baby to her home in New Castle
Then she took train to Richmond
and turned over the troublesome over.
coat, which had cost $12 when pur.
chased three years ago, to the police
Carson appeared to be much gratified
when the coat was returned to him.

IAExPEnIENCE HELD
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
Coroner Pierce Assigns Bay
er's Inexperience Reason
for Fatal Smash.

1.-THE inexperience of George Bayer
in driving an automobile" is the YER
dict OF Coroner Pierce relative to the
automobile accident west of the city on
the night OF July 3, In which Miss Ada
Kelly. of this city, was instantly killed
and Miss Imogene Smith, of New Cas-
tie, was fatally injured, dying two days
later. The verdict was filed with the
county clerk this morning.
The testimony of the occupants OF
the car and other witnesses vary to q
great extent in estimating the speed OF
the auto. Joseph Peltz, whose car was
passed by the Bayer car, about half
mile west of the accident, estimates
the speed of Omar Murray's car at
fifty miles an hour and Bayer passed
the Murray car about 200 yards ahead
of Peltz.
Murray's Estimate 25 Miles.
Murray estimates his speed at the
time Bayer passed him at from 20 to
25 miles per hour. The speed esti-
mates of the occupants of the Bayer
car who survived the accident, range
from 25 to 35 miles per hour.
Bayer believes the cause of the &C.
cident was skidding. due to one of the
front wheels striking a rock or rut in
the road. He testified that in attempt
ing to stop the skidding, he threw off
the power and applied the emergency
brake. He said he did this to prevent
the car being hurled over the embank-
ment south of the road.
Those who testified before the coro-
ner were Grace Kelly, George Bayer,
Frank Wissler, William Milligan, of
Muncie, Clarence Jackson, of Newcas-
tie, O. G. Murray, DR.. J. A. Conkey and
Joseph Peltz.

GRAVEL ROADS GOOD
Jones Improves Gravel High
ways of County.

The success of the work of Road
Supervisor Jones in improving the
gravel roads of the county, is believed
by County Auditor Bowman to be one
of the reasons for lull in the number
of road petitions submitted to the
county commissioners this summer.
According to the commissioners, the
people OF the county are beginning to
learn that many of the old roads can
be improved so that they are practi-
cally as good as new ones, without the
great expense of constructing new
roads.
The roads of the county are in bet
ter condition now than they have
been for several years and the feeling
is general throughout the county that
if a little more care is exercised in
keeping up the road, it will be I'M
necessary to construct new ones.
