that the rose is one of the Oldest flow

the wind blown seeds in paradise. In

TRAGEDY cRUsHEs PEACE HOPE
Asquith Quits Plan to Amend Home
Rule Measure for ireland.

London, July 28.-The first effect of
the Dublin home rule tragedy has been
to smash Premier Asquith's plans for
taking up the amending bill. The pre-
mier announced that the question had
been indefinitely postponed.
The Irish members are so exasper-
ated over the killing of four persons
and wounding of many others in the
clash between the regular troops and
the nationalist volunteers that they are
in no frame of mind to grant any con-
cessions to Ulster. The laborites and
many liberals support them.
The government announced in the
House of Commons that Deputy Police
Commissioner Harrell, who ordered
out the troops, had been suspended,
and that his superior commissioner,
Sir John Ross, who expressed de-
sire to share the responsibility, has
resigned his office.
Rioting broke out in Dublin again

Vienna, July 2S.-Diplomatic rela-
tions between Austria-Hungary and
Servia were formally broken off Sat
urday. The Servian government wait
ed until the last moment left it by the
terms Of the note, and only ten minutes
before the hour of six, when the Aus
tro-Hungarian ultimatum expired, did
the Servian premier appear at the
legation and present his government s
reply to the Austrian minister, Baron
Giesl Won Gieslingen.
The details of the tenor of the reply
were not revealed here, but the terse
statement was made that it was "un-
satisfactory"
Immediately upon receiving the note
the Austrian minister informed the
foreign office, and diplomatic relations
were broken off. Half an hour later
the minister and his staff with their
families had boarded train for Aus
trian territory Martial law was de-
clared throughout the Austro-Hun-
garian empire.
A high official OF the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign office made the follow
ing statement:
Should Servia at this stage of af-
fairs take military measures against
Austria, every penny of the cost of
Austrian mobilization will have to be
paid by Servia."
An official communication points
out that the foreign situation has as
sumed a development which makes re-
gard for military necessities the su-
preme law. It proclaims series of or
dinances applicable to the whole en-
pire, including Hungary.
These ordinances include the trans
fer of the civil administration of Bos-
MIA, Herzegovina and Dalmatia to the
commander in chief; the suspension
through the empire Of the constitutions
al laws on liberty of assembly; of pri-
yate correspondence; of the press; the
suppression of juries; the restriction
of the issue of passports; the submis-
sion of civilians accused of reprehen-
sible acts against the army to military
Jurisdiction; the partial prohibition OF
the export and import of products; the
enforcement of military jurisdiction
generally, and the closing of the pro-
yincial diets and the reichsrath.
The communication trusts that all
Austro-H Hungarian subjects will appre-
ciate the grave necessity which COM
pels the government in the exercise OF
a heavy responsibility to take excep-
tional measures.
It is reported that the mobilization
Of five Russian army corps has been
ordered.

London, July 28.-The darkest war
cloud which has appeared on the Euro
pean horizon since Germany sent war
ships to Agadir in 1911 has arisen
within three days.
The Servian government has refused
to comply with Austria's demands, the
most humiliating ever asked of an in
dependent nation, for the expiation OF
the Sarajevo murders for which Aus
tria holds anti-Austrian conspiracies In
Servia responsible and for guarantees
Of future good behavior.
At $3.50 o'clock, when the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum expired, the Ser
Wan premier handed to the Austrian
minister at Belgrade Servia's reply.
The minister Immediately severed dip
lomatic relations and started for home.
The contents of the note have not
been revealed, but the Servian lega.
tion in London understands that 1t ac-
cepted some OF Austria's conditions
and rejected others. Apparently Aus
tria was resoved to have the whole
hill paid or nothing.
The vital question to Europe is
whether Russia will come to the res
cue OF her little Slav brother, involv-
ing the other powers and making Of
the war dread struggle Of Slav
against Teuton for European suprem-
acy.
Reports from st. Petersburg say
that the Russian army is mobilizing,
but 1t Is to be remembered that Rus
sil modified several corps when Aus
tria annexed Bosnia and the German
emI eror stepped to the side of his
ally.
The Servians have decided not to
attempt to defend Belgrade, the gar.
rison having already been withdrawn
according to Vienna reports and the
seat of the government removed from
Belgrade to Kraguyevata, a strong
strategic point sixty miles to the south.
Many rumors were current, some as
serting that Austria had given Servia
further time in which to reply to her
peremptory note, others that she had
refused to do so, and still others that
Servia maintained an attitude Of de-
fiance and was preparing for the worst
eventualities.
Statesmen ir all countries meantime
were making endeavors to bring about
a peaceable solution and all sought to
restrain movements Of panic.
Already part of the Russian press
has taken defiant attitude, demand
ing that the government in st. Peters
burg undertake the protection Of Ser
via.
The Austrian ultimatum to Servia
was unanimously regarded in St. Pc
tersburg as an indirect challenge to
Russia.
The Servian minister and his staff
left Vienna. A military censorship
was established in the telegraph Of

JOINT LETTER
From Central Labor Union and
Building Trades Council,
19 Sanford Street.

Springfield, Mass. July 2S, 1914.
To all Organized Labor, Greeting
In January Of this year you were
NOTICED that the Hendee Manufac-
turing Co., makers of the Indian
Indian Motorcycle, was unfair to
the Building Trades of this city
because they refused to employ un-
ion men in the construction of their
buildings In January of this year
the polishers were forced on strike
in the same concern by the reduc-
ton in their wages of $1.10 per
day You were also notified of
this.
We are now happily pleased to
notify you that an amicable settle
ment Of all past differences has
beeu reached with this company,
makers Of the Indian Motorcycle,
Will now go on the FAlR LIST /
with all organized labor.
While it is agreed that the strug-
gle while it lasted was bitter one
for both sides, the company was
very fair in TIE final settlement.
When we consider that previous to
the strike this company employed
two thousand nine hundred men
and has capital of S12, 500, 600,
we are compelled to give them due
credit for their change of mind to
meet organized labor on an equal
basis.
Our Central Labor Union and
the Building Trades Council most
earnestly requests that you use ev-
cry effort to give this circular as
much publicity as you have all pre-
viousscirculars from US so that this
company may be placed in as good
standing as before the strike.
To say that we sincerely thank
you for your support does not fully
express our full appreciation for
your loyalty. We trust this infer
nation will show the fruits Of your
efforts.
We are fraternally yours,
President, Geo. H. Wrenn,

Carpenters Win Strike.

Montreal, Aug. l5.-Carpenters In
this city have wen their strike and
secured three years contract,
which calls for 45 cents an hour, an
increase of 21a cents over the old
rate. A compromise was effected
on the question of hours. The men
wanted an eight hodr day, but the
contractors claimed that Montreaps
rigorous winters made it necessary
to rush work in the summer. It
was finally agreed that that the
hours would be nine in the simmer
and eight in winter. The contract.
ors agree not to give work to any
who does not employ
union men at the standard wage
rate.
