London Believes That It Will Not Explain Russian
 Mobilization to Germany's Satisfaction
SITUATION MORE NENAcINe EACH HOUR
Belief Grows that German Army Already Mobilizing- Austria Would Like to See France and England Bring Pressure to Bear to Restrain Russia Heavy Bombard ment of Belgrade by Austrans Continues-Brussels Will Call Out 65,000 Reservists.

London, July s1-Early this morning comes the news that the German cab at Potsdam until midnight and that a censorship over the telegraph lines Is being imposed At Berlin.
 This is interpreted here as implying preparation for German mobilization. and a few hours win probably de- eide whether Europe is to be involved in universal warfare.
 Anticipating Ru,sis's Reply.
 It is fully expected at London and Berlin that the Russian foreign nin- -ister. Sergius Sazonoff, will reply to Germany's demand for an explanation to the effect that Russian mobiliza- ton has already been ordered and cannot be cancelled.
 In the event of Germany mobiliz- ing. it is expected that Premier As- auith will immediately ask parliament to sanction large vote of credit as a necessary precaution.
 ss Little Reliable News. With the exception of official re- ports from Vienna, given in the brief est form and thus far dealing with the bombardment of Belgrade and the on the Danube little reliable news has been received in London concerning the course of hostiities
 servisn's Report Musicians RepuIsed. Numerous reports are current that battles are in progress at various points. including one from Milan that heavy engagement IS raging south of Belgrade tonight; but according 10 Servian accounts all attempts on the part Of the Austrians to cross the river have been repulsed, and the re- ports of the occupation of Belgrade are considered premature. U
 Situation of Growing Menace.
 While the news of the actual deye1- epments fin the Austro Servian war is unsatisfactory the general is one of growing menace There is vague report that Austria and Russia arc still engaged in diplo-s rnatic ne=ctiations through the me- diurn of Tserlin diplomatic intercourse between the two countries having been suspended. but slender hopes are en- tertained cf success in that direction in tn. Hands of German Emperor. Ger4nany has addressed a note to Russia requesting an explanation of sTlussia's mobilization. and. in the ab- ;sence of a satisfactory reply it is fear ed Germany may take steps to mobilize also. It is understood that on the failure of his conference scheme Sir Edward Grey invited Germany to sug- gest some way out of the difficulty and all eyes are now turned to the German emperor as the man upon whom Europe's fate depends
 Germany Wants Pressure on Russia It is believed that if the German em- peror desires it, peace will be main tained The German view is that it beahoves Great Britain and France to bring pressure to bear upon Russia to allow the two principals to settle their differences without outside interfer- ence.
 Tn the meantime every nation ir Europe is taking active steps to pre- pare for any .aventuahties
 The Daily Telegraph correspondent at Vienna who is often the mouth piece of the Austrian government, says that Sir Edward Grey''s mediation pro. posal must not have the object oi modifya 2 the peace terms agreed up on by the helligerents.
 Concerns Only the Two Nations.
 .The Austro-Servian conflict in al its phases, from the wording of tht note to the ratification of peace treaty, he says. 'is deemed to be z matter which concern those state! alone, just as Count Won Aehrentha fthe late Austro Hungarian minister of foreign affafrs) refused firmly t, discuss the annexation of Bosnia ant Herzegovina with the power -bu Turkey. and accepted the suggestion

 ni<ss War with Russia inevitable. So will Count Won Borchthold de. cline to adWit any interference betweer Austria ana Servia when the condf tions of peace arc being settled. signed If this correspondents statemen represents the Austrian policy. al probably 1t does, war with Russia ap pears to be inevitable.
