Vienna, July est is with a
feeling OF intense relief that the
people of the dual monarchy look
forward to a war with Sefvia which
for several days has seemed newt
able and which today was formally
declared
Whether the war will be confined
TO the two countries cannot be said
but the feeling on this point in high
official circles is optimistic. Even
certain knowledge that Russia
would intervene, however would
not cause Austria to hesitate a mo-
ment 20 alter her course in the
slightest
News Of the formal declaration
of war ran through the city before
extra editions Of the papers could
reach the vendors hands and was
greeted everywhere with a spirit
which must be described as close to
religious exaltation Vienna is alb
solutely without news of the move
ments of the troops, which the pa
pers naturally are forbidden to
print. A sharp censorship has been
established over the press and all
means OF communication.
Advices from Belgrade say that
the Servian capital is now located
at Nish where the Skutshtina Ma
tional Assembly met today. All
Servians between is and so years of
age able to bear arms have been
called cut.

London, July 2S.--A rumor was
current in Paris last night that
the German Minister in Belgrade
has been assassinated Inquiry,
however, disclosed that the Minister
had merely left Belgrade for Nish.

justified in chastsing Scrvia, but
they cteue that any attempt to de-
stroy ,'ayereign rights would plunge
all Of Europe INTO war.
The DAILY Mail thinks that, unless
the war is localized, Europe is faced
with the greatest catastrophe in his

that the German Emperor holds the
fate of Europe in the hollow OF his

Peace Too Lono DELAYED.

One hundred years ago an English
vessel, the Bramble, under a flag of
truce, arrived at Annapolis, Md with
offers from the British government to
negotiate for peace. AS subsequent
events proved, however, many months
were to pass before the war was to
be ended by the treaty of Client. Had
the offers brought by the Bramble led
to an immediate cessation of hostili-
ties the result would have been vast
saving of life and money. AS it was,
the war was to continue a full year,
and many battles were to be fought
on land and sea. For another 12
months our northern frontiers and our
coasts from Maine to Florida were to
be harassed and threatened by the
British. The battles of Lundys Lane.
Lake Champlain, Plattsburg and New
Orleans we're yet to be fought, and
even the seat of our national govern
ment was destined to fall into the
hands of the enemy.

Political Prophecy.

All men are intuitive prophets. This
is part of their proud claim to the
possession of reason looking before
and after On all sides one meets
happy warriors protesting to see in
current events only what they fore
saw and predicted. Especially in pub
lie affairs are the most unlikely Sauls
found among the prophets. Who Of
US has not been drawn aside by man
bearing none of the outward insignia
Of a prophet, who begs his hearer to
mark his words as he proceeds to
unroll the book Of fate? His favor
tie field is political campaigns. He
will tell you who is going to be elect
ed and why. Near and far his eye
rolls in a fine frenzy, and his fore
casts are as universal and sweeping
and-we regret to say-usually as in
accurate as those OF the old-style al
manac. Despite frequent ludicrous
confoundings by the event, this kind
or prophet comes up smiling after
every failure. He is stayed by no
consideration of probability or the
doctrine of chances, and openly fouts
the maxim not to prophesy "onless ye
