London, July 29.-FOr the first
time since 1870, war involving one of
the major nations of Europe is on
and the whole of the continent is sit
ting upon vast powder mine which
may explode with the greatest mar
tial display ever known in the his
tory of the world, upsetting the pres
ent national balances, involving some
34,O00,00O men actually in the field
and costing millions upon millions of
dollars.
1t is useless to attempt to disguise
the fact that the situation is tense
and that there is possibility of wide
spread war.
With the 1declaration of War OH Ser
via by Austria, Austrian troops
which had been massed in Bohemia
were thrown forward toward the Ser
Wan border. Belgrade has been occu-
ried by the Austrians, if numerous re-
ports from various sources are to be
credited.
French troops are on the move and
every railroad near the German bor-
der is under heavy guard; Russia is
massing along the German border and
no trains are being moved in the in
terror of any of the countries involved
save only those trains operated by the
military.
Vienna austerely announces that
proposals for mediation of the diff
ferences between that country and
Servia are useless. Russia has let it
be known that the Slavs have put up
with the arrogance of the Hapsburg
government as long as they intend to,
and Germany, coolly, but with the
frmness of determination that is
backed by the greatest fighting ma
chine in the world, announces that any
move of Russian troops that indicates
coalition with Servia will be accepted
as casus belli.
Reports here, of course, are incom-
plete, as telegraph service, as well as
other lines of communication, are held
by the military.
But it seems certain that the Aus
trians are massing thousands of men
at Semlin, across the river from the
hilltop Serb town of Belgrade, where
the Servians blew up the long rail-
road viaduct. Austrian ships dot the
waters there and the Servian steamers
Dsligrad and Morava have been
seized Troops also are being massed
at four other strategic points.
The occupation of Belgrade is re-
ported to have been accomplished with
little fighting, the Servian army hav-
ing withdrawn early Monday, leaving
only troops enough to prevent loot
ing.
Reports that the Servian parliament
after a long sitting had agreed to
the demands of the Austrian ultima
tum, while not confirmed, are given
credence. The sitting is reported as
stormy one, but it will avail nothing
now IN view of the announced deter
mination of the Austrian government
that nothing will be accepted short of
complete surrender on the points
of the ultimatum and the payment by

of it,
All of which goes far to confirm the wisdom of the
popular opinion of the Los Angeles Times where the chief
opposition to the district centers

No. 5 is so great that the entire car
f1ying capacity of the canal is required
for irrigation purposes, and the val
ley is now being wholly supplied
wholly from the two power plants in
this city, both of which are being
driven day and night beyond their
normal capacity, and the loss of the
water power plant is seriously felt.
The cotton industry has brought
about great demand for electric
power, and it was believed that the
new system would be installed before
the ginning season started, but today
there were rows of wagons at the
gins in all the towns Of the valley,
the work starting two months earlier
than in any previous year, and for
something like thirty days longer the
struggle must continue to meet the
demand.
The New System.
1t is costing the Holton Power Com
pany about 100000 to bring the 55,-
600 volts by means of the new trans
mission line from Banning and to in
stall the necessary works, while other
improvements being worked out in the
big buildings of the company will
soon carry the new investment to
about u half-million dollars.
To handle the new current three
immense transformers are being
erected east of the gas power PLAN.

President Sproule has utterly repudiated the claim
made by the CM interests to the effect that the South
Pacific Company had consented to accept an appro-
r'iaton from congress to its claim against the gov
e1nment and use the money to put the Colorado river
back in it's old bed and maintain it there When this pro-
posa submitted to the directors of the Imperial Val
ley Chamber of Commerce by Edon Bragg, who stated
that he represented W. K Bowker the distance tee-
phone brought into requison and Acting Chairman
Pho Jones talked with Mr. Bowker who was at his home
III Los Angeles.
Mr. Jones then reported to the directors that Mr..
BoWker stated that Harry Chandler had held confer
with President Sproue and later conference with
President Sproule and Colonel Epes Randolph at which it
was agreed that the Southern Pacific would accept the
appropriation control the river clear up the title of the
California Development Company and maintain the irri-
cation system. -
Suspicion was aroused by the channel through which
the message alleged to have come and President
Hamilton of the district sent the following message to
President Sproule of the Southern Pacific Company:

The Press did not believe it possible that accus-
toned big business affairs would make definite state
men to representative body which could not be main

Washington, Feb. 233.-RegardleSs
Of whetaer or not the execution Of

opments emphasized clearly that pro-

Mexico had become commanding

President Wilson than by leaders i'll

developments:
After a conference with President
Wilson, Acting Chairman Shively OF

te and members OF the committee
reached al understanding that the
Mexican question, if taken up IN the
senate, should be discussed behind
closed doors.

The British embassy announced that
the British consul at Galveston, Texas,
has been ordered to Ell Paso to assist
in the inquiry concerning Benton, but
in no way to interfere with the Amer

Intimations were received through
semi-oficial channels that marines
would be landed by Japan and France

quest by Secretary Bryan to Gen.
Francisco Villa that the body of vii
lam S. Be2ton, British subject, be
exhumed and turned over TO Ameri-
can officials for examination, the

that the first step had been taken in

ton at Juarez which has focused the
eyes of the world anew or the Mex

Just what Gen. Villa purposes to

Britain Stirred by BentOn,s End


London, Feb. 23.-The British par
lament and press have been stirred
by the recent killing of William S.
Benton, a British subject, by order
of the Mexican constitutionalist, Gen.
Francisco Villa, at Jaurez, and today
the question Of protection for British
interests and for Engishmen residing
in Mexico was made the subject of
earnest consideration both in the
house of commons and in the columns
of the newspapers.
Sir Edwards Grey, secretary Of State
for foreign affairs, today outlined the
attitude of the British government,
and the nature of the communica-
tons the British ambassador al
Washington has rad with the gov
ernment of the United States. He
said that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice had
told Secretary Bryan that the public
opinion of Europe was likely to be
seriously affected by the action Of
Gen. Villa, which announcement was
greeted with cheer.
The foreign secretary assured the
house that the government was taking
all possible steps to learn the facts of
the Benton case and to secure full pro-
lection for its nationals in Mexico, but
pointed out that the government was
powerless to take any measure in the
disturbed regions.
Francis Dyke Ackland, parliamen-
tartan, undersecretary for foreign af-
fairs, made an earlier statement in
which he said, "The pacifcation of
Mexico is an object We earnestly de-
sire to see accomplished, but it is
impossible to effect i by British in
teryention. We do not intend TO make
any attempt Of that character, which
would be both futile and impolitic.
That the British government is con-
cer@ed ever the reported disappear
ance of other Europeans N Mexico is
evidenced by the fact that Sir Ed
ward has communicated with the am
bassador at Washington respecting
steps that it might be possible to
take 10 ascertain the whereabouts of
these people.
The newspapers, While awaiting the
results Of the inquiry instituted by the
United States government, practically
are united in coZdemDing the action
of Villa. which some Of them regard
as nothing less than murder.
