FRANCE NEAR WAR FOOTING
Everything Done short OF Actual
Mobilization

Everything Done short of Actual
Mobilization.
PARIS, July 30.--Presldent Poincaire
presided over q meeting or the French
cabinet this morning at which the
European war situation exclusively was
considered. The cabinet is TO hold daily
councils while the international crisis
lasts.
Every military preparation short of
mobilization has now been made In
France. The principal railroad stations
ard all the signal boxes and switches are
today guarded by troops
RumorE of the widest nature were In
circulation today that President Poincaire
after an all-nIght council OF war. had
decided to call up 10000 men OF the
French army reserve. A strongiy-worded
denial OF this was issued. together with
assurances that drastic measures would
be taken against those spreading such
reporta The government is working in
close cooperation with the principal
newspapers to reassure the public.
At the same time a veil is being kept
over military operations, as during the
war in 1870 the Germans are said to have
obtained a gTeat advantage from the in

Cabinet COuneil in Berlin.
BERLIN. July 2a.-The public was
anxlouBly awaiting late tonight the re-
suit Of cabinet council held today on
the AustFo-servlan situation, but nothing
transpired to relieve the suspense.
Information was also anxiously
awaited concerning telegrams exchanged
between Emperor william and Emperor
Nicholas, but here. too, hopes we're
blasted. The public. nevertheless, still
sees favorable augury in the inter-
change OF telegrams itself.
Meanwhile news continues TO pour into
Berlin regarding Russia's military meas
tres.
The French embassy professed to have
assurances from the German government
that Germany would not regard a Rus
sian mobilization on the Austrian frontier
as AN absolute casus belli-assuranoes
perhaps received since Emperor williams
return to Germany.
