German Troops Cross
Border by Mistake
By Attoeintcd Press

Paris. July 31.-Military movements
on the German side of the frontier
were very active to-day and the
French troops sent put outposts.
A German patrol at one point &C
tually crossed the frontier, probably
owing to a mistake.
In no case has any considerable
force of French troops advanced closer
to the German frontier thar six miles.
The French foreign office officials
were considerably more pessimistic to-
day because. as they explained, the
gravity of the situation was increasing
with the lapse of each day. At the
same time 1t was said that 1t must not
be assumed hat all hope of a peaceful
solution had vanished. The French
government, II was asserted, would
leave nothing undone to further this
object.
France. 1t was pointed out, rather
than seem to be in the least provo
~cative, is foregoing the J~ustifiable adj
vantage an early mobilization of her
army would give her and will not
make any move until after Germany
has o so.
The slight amount of hope is based
on problematical contingencies.
There has been much talk of Ger
many's approaching Austria and Rus
STA, 1t is explained. but the fact is, ac-
cording to official information, that
Germany has done nothing. and clear
and definite action or the part of Ger
many alone a open a way out of the
crisis.

Germany Proclaims
Martial Law; Preparing
to Mobilize Her Troops
[Continucd From First Pagel
Germany Believes That
Situation Is Much Worse
Than 1t Was Yesterday
By associated Press

Berlin, July 81. = The morning
passed without a break in the heavy
war cloud over the European horizon,
and there vas no relief to the almost
despairing uncertainty existing in the
German capital. Excitement con-
tinued to increase.
1t had been generally expected that
to-day would bring the decision for
peace or war and when a decree was
promulgated proclaiming martial law
and consequent military government
all began to hin that ar Aed conflict
could be the only outcome.
Government officials, however, re-
declaration. saying they preferred to
wait until all the of diplo-
macy had been exhausted. 1t was well
understood that the issue of an order
for the mobilization. of the German
forces would be tantamount to a decla-
ration of w a and 1t was decided to
postpone this action until the last pos
sible moment in which there was a
ray of hope for peace.
1t was admitted that the situation
had become worse during the last
twenty-four hours. but the fact that
both Germany and France issued Of
fetal denials of their intention to mo-
Billie was regarded as a sign that
everything possible was being done to
prevent a clash.
1t was evident everywhere to-day
that the military authorities were
quickly preparing for the speedy NOV
ing of troops in case the order for
mobilization should be given.

London Stock Exchange
Decides to Close Doors
"UntiI Further Notice
By Associated Press

London. July 31.-The London Stock
Exchange has been closed Until further
notice. The decision to close the ex-
change was taken by the committee
at a meeting held this morning.
The committee also announced that
the settlement due August 13 has been
postponed until August 81 and that
the consols settlement due August 6
has been put over until September.
Stocks which nave yet to be deliv-
cred for account Just closed must,
however, be paid for.
The chief reason for the unprece-
dented action of the London Stock Ex-
change committee was the fact that
the system of credit had practically
broken down and it was impossible to
carry on business in the ordinary way.
This situation did not arise through
overspeculation. but because bankers
could not collect margins. which had
gradually shrunk. while at same time
the continent continued to pour stock
into London.
Bankers here had tried for days past
to get their customers to take up his
stock. but the impossibility of finding
and the inability to sell the Sc
curities caused credit automatically to
and the closing of the exchange
became necessary.
The Street to-day was full of deal
ers and they stood discussing the sit
uation in more or less mournful tone.

AUiators Will Take an
Active Part in War
BY Associated PrcSs

New York, July 31.-Members of
the Aero Club of America are watch
ing with keen interest for news of the
aviators' activities in the war between
Austria and Servia. They expect that
the general practical value of aircraft
in times of wal will be shown as never
before. A~eroplanes were used by the
Italian army in Tripoli; by the French
in Morocco and by the different armies
in the recent Balkan wars, but never
TO the extent that is likely to result
during the present crisis.
Austria, with her six dirigibles and
more than 100 aeroplanes, has a big
advantage over her opponent. Her
pilots are among the best in the world.
Servia is practically unknown in
aeroplane records. The little power
has twenty machines and one dirigible,
1t is known, is privately owned there.
Much of the Austrian aviation
equipment is said to be patterned after
that used by France and Germany.
The Hotchkiss rapid firing gun is in
stalled on many of the flying machines.
A conservative estimate made by a
member of the Aero Club on the num-
Der of aerocraft that would be called
into use in the event of a general Eu-
ropean war is 1850. More than 500
more are on the reserve list, and in
the event of emergency $50 aircrafts,
privately owned, and on which the
governments lave no ties, could be
Communicated. Captain Thomas S..
Baldwin, the veteran aviator, who re-
Gently returned from a tour of the
prominent aero clubs, said that Ger
many and Austrian aero forces were
the best in Europe.

Great Demonstrations
Mark Night in Russia
Rr 4ksncfnted Prcts

St. Petersburg. July 31.-The popu-
lation of Russian capital kept awake
throughout the night and the streets
r%esounded with the din of patriotic
demonstrations. A quick succession
of special edition of the newspapers
kept the excitement at fever heat and
the vendors nae a hard time in sup
plying those anxious to see the latest
which in many cases were read out
aloud to the public round about. Great
professions paraded the streets, the
demonstrators carrying banners. Loud
cheers were shouted for the Emperor
and Russia.
Impromptu meetings were held in
all parts of the city and suburbs and
orators were heard everywhere.
Striking scenes were witnessed at
the mobilization offices, whittier peo-
pie of all classes locked TO register
their names.
The tension of feeling was so great
that utter strangers in the street in
their patriotic excitement greeted and
embrased one another.
The seriousness of the situation ap-
peared to be fully realized.

Mobilization Orders
Will Not Be Issued
in Germany Today
By Assoeiafed Prcss

Berlin. July 31.-The German for.
eign office CAV assurances this morn
ing that no mobilization order. would
be issued in Germany to-day. Off
cials admitted, however, tina the stu
alton had not improved but had be.
come rather aggravated since the is.
sue of the Russian mobilization or
der.
1t had been generally expected thai
an order for the mobilization of the
German army and navy would be is
sued in the course of last night. The
governments postmonement of this
drastic action gave rise to-day to
hopes that something might happen
to evert the necessity of doing so.
The general feeling throughout Ger
many was however that only a miracle
could prevent war. and another anx-
ious day of waiting for a definite solu-
ton of the existing doubts as to
whether the crisis would result in
peace or wal was passed by bankers,
business men and the laboring classes.
the latter of whom would have to
bear the brunt of the burden in case
hostilities should be decided on.
Meanwhile h German government
put forth the greatest exertions to
prevent the spread of alarming ru-
mors and false news. 1t ordered the
confiscation of -four newspapers which
had printed news that
mobilization had been ordered.
In official quarters the Russian
Ukase calling out the army reserves
was q factor which greatly aggravated
the situation and amounted in their
opinion to a direct challenge to Aus
tro-HunSary and Germany.
Take in Supplies
Fear that in case of mobilization the
German railroad system would be
blocked for ordinary traffic, a number
OF municipalities took steps to increase
the stocks of grain in the districts
within their jurisdiction. The Berlin
city council commissioned a number
or firms to purchase and bring in
supplies of grain and -four and many
of the cities neal the frontiers fol
lowed suit.
The financial markets reflected the
general pessimism. Trading has been
almost suspended except for cash
business and even this is ~listless.
Money is almost impossible to OBJ
tain and it is known that at least a
dozen brokerage and banking firms
are in difficulty.
American visitors, after at first
treating rumors of war lightly have
begun to realize the gravity of the
situation. Their German friends oc-
cupying influential positions have ad-
vised them to quit the country al
once, as a mobilization order might
tie up the railroads at any moment,
The report that Grand Duke Ernest,
of Hesse, is proceeding to st. Peters
burg was semiofficially denied to-day.
The Grand Duke is still at Wolfsgarten
Castle.

New York, July 31.-The first body
of reservists n volunteers to prepare
to leave this country to fight for Aus
tria-Hungary in the war against Ser
via is assembling here preparatory to
sailing on the first liner bound for
Austrian ports. A majority of these
men, 1t was said to-day. are Croatians.

About a hundred Austrians and
Hungarian volunteers from this city
will be the first to return to Austria.
At the offices of Austro-Hungarian
consulate the addition of several I'M
dred names yesterday increased the
list of volunteers for active service
from various sections of the country
to more than 1000 men. DIR. Charles
Winter, acting consul general, stated
that he expected to know by to-mor-
row how many of the reservists in this
country had received summons from
the Vienna war office.
Much Activity Shown
There is much activity abou the
German consulate here concerning the
general European war situation. To
callers who expressed a desire to re-
turn to Germany for military duty, P.
II. Fake. the consul general. explain
ed that all reservists drawn by the
German war office would be notified
directly by mail and hat credential

Michael NJ. Custinoff, the Russian
Consul General, had as yet received no

had offered their services, he said,
but until definite word was received
no plans for their transportation
abroad would be made.
Anxious Over Situation
Officials of foreign steamship lines
are admittedly anxious over the wal
situation. The American line vessels,
-four in number, and two of the Red
Star line carrying the American flag,
1t was pointed out today were the only
lines that may cross the Atlantic with
out fear of being held up. except at
blockaded. points. Reports at local
steamship agencies and offices of eX-
press companies given out to-day show
that more than 10000 Americans are
now travelling in Europe. This is
based OF figures of steamship COM

event of a general war 1t would re-

would not be affected to bring the

At several hotels it was said that
many persons who had come to New
York to embark for Europe had AN
celled their passage. while others, had
their departures until as
sured that conditions in Europe made
travel safe.
