The actual cause of Austria-Hun-
gary's decision to enter into hostile
conflict with Servia was the reply
sent by the Balkan state to the note
from Vienna demanding that Servia
take steps to put a stop to the pan
Servian propaganda on Austrian ter
ritory and also punish those servians
indirectly concerned in the assassin
alton In Bosnia on June % OF Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the
Austrio- Hungarian throne. The re-
sponse of Servia was considered by
the foreign office in Vienna "unsat-
isfactory" and in semi-official
communication made public yester-
day, the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment said that the reply was "filled
with the spirit OF dishonesty"
In the meantime Sir Edward Grey
took the initiative of requesting
the European powers to permit their
ambassadors in London to confer
with view to a peaceful solution Of
the controversy. Italy and France at
once consented to join their efforts
to those of Great Britain but Ger
many and Austria refused, Germany
supporting her ally in the contention
that It would be undignified for
great power like Austria to appear
before a tribunal of European pow
ers on the same status as the little
Balkan nation.
Austria Hungary IN the interval
had proceeded rapidly with the mo-
bilization OF her great army. The
entire railroad system was utilized
for the movement of troop trains.
The telegraph system was virtually
monopolizcd for government business
and n strict censorship was imposed.
Scrvia also has mobilized her fore
es and has withdrawn the garrison
of Belgrade. the capital. to the In
terror. as the chief city of Servia oc-
cupics n position too vulnerable to
be held.
Every war office and admiralty in
Europe was occupied in preparations
for cvcntualitics even the smaller
countries such as Poland. Belgium
and Switzerland taking precaution-
ary measures.
Then today came the formal dec
laration OF war by Austria Hungary,
one of the members of the triple al
lance, the other two countries of
which are Germany and Italy.
The notification of the fact was
sent this afternoon to the Servian
government. which has its temporary
headquarters at KraSuyevatZ.
II was anticipated here that dec
laration of the beginning of hostili-
ties would follow quickly on Ger
many's decision to hold aloof from
any scheme of mediation. The Ger
man foreign office had said that a
conference OF ambassadors would In
its opinion serve no useful purpose.

the destroyer flotillas around the
coast also have been prepared and
armed guards were placed around all
the magazines and oil depots.
Paris, July 22.-Thc Austrian am
bassador to France today said II was
probable that active hostilities be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia
began this morning but until IL o.

gram to that effect from Vienna.
