London, July 30.-While the Austri-
ans and Servians were fighting the
opening stages of their war on Servi-
an territory today, European statesmen
and rulers engaged in what they re-
garded an almost HOPELESS task of try
ing TO avert a general clash of the mil
lions composing the armies of the
great European powers.
In the House of Commons Secretary
Grey said:
Il regret | cannot say the situation
is less grave than yesterday"
Premier Asquith also spoke of the
gravity of the situation. When an
nouncing in Commons the postpone
ment of the second reading of the bill
to amend the Irish home rule bill, he
said
I'VE meet today under conditions of
gravity almost unparalleled i'm the eX-
perience of any one of us. The issues
of peace and war are hanging in the
balance. Mr.. Bonar Law, leader of the
opposition. shares with me in full the
views ! have expressed. We therefore.
propose to postpone the second read
ing OF the amending bill without pre-
judice to its future in the hope that by
the postponement Of this discussion the
patriotism of all parties will contribute
to what lies i'm our power. if not to
avert to at least cIrcumscribe the ca
lamity which threatens the whole
world"
All foreign pupils in big German
schools were informed yesterday they
must leave Germany Immediately. A
number of English students left last
night and arrived here today. one said
that between Bonn and Cologne the
train passed eight trains loaded with |
German soldiers going toward the |
French frontier.

When humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in raining tears.
What joy to press the pillow

And to listen to the patter

Every patter on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart.
Many long forgotten fancies
Into being quickly start.
And thousand recollections
Weave their bright hues into woof
As ! listen to the patter
OF the soft rain on the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother.
