Paris.-With Count Won Schoen, the
German Ambassador. and the Austro-
Hungarian Ambassador still in Paris.
Germany began hostilities against
France. Previous messages have re-
ported the invasion of French terri

a village of 800 inhabitants near Long

1000 inhabitants hear Ciroy Sur Ve-
Zouze, in the Department of Meurth
ct Moselle. At the same time the i'm
portant customs station at Petit CroiX,
six miles from Belfort, was shelled by
German troops. The Germans also
violated the neutrality Of Luxembourg,
which was guaranteed by the Treaty
Of London, signed in 1867 by France,
Austria. Belgium, England. Italy, the
Netherlands, Prussia and Russia. A
troop train filled with troops arrived
in Luxembourg and the Government
of the Grand Duchy is now in the
hands OF the German military authori-
ties, who have installed headquarters
at the Government house. All rail
road and telegraphic communication
was Immediately cut off All COM
munication with Germany has been
cut off. More than 100000 Germans

0BREGON TOO ACTIVE
HE TAKES ouERETARo AND MAY
HURRY TO MEXICO CITY, UP
SETTING PLANS.
VILLA WORRIES WASHINGTON
Since He Left SaItlIIo Conference In
Angry Mood the State Department
Has Lost Track of Him and His
Purposes.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Queretaro, the
last stronghold of the federal forces
north Of Mexico City. has been cap
tured by General Obregon. according
to dispatches to the state department.
Unofficial reports indicate that Obre-
gon will proceed at once to the Mexi-
can capital. This is at variance with
the Carranza-Carbajal plan under
which all the constitutionalist leaders
would enter Mexico City at the same
time.
The state department has lost Gen.
eral Villa and has been unable to get
answers to its recent instructions to
its agents in Mexico to discover his
purposes and report to Washington.
The last authentic dispatch to the
department was from one Of the con-
suls, who declared that Villa had left
the Carranza-Villa conference at Sal
tillo in bitter mood
General Villa has no personal agent
in Washington, but it is said that he

have been brought about between the
British Admiral, Sir Christopher Cra-
dock, Carbajal and Carranza.
Even officials in the state depart
ment are Of the opinion that the resig-
nation of Huerta, practically in favor
of Carranza, through Carbajal, was
brought about when Sir Christopher
Cradock visited Huerta just before the
resignation at Mexico City.
Cabinet officers who were asked for
news about General Villa and his
movements were loath to discuss the
subject. 1t can be asserted, however,
on high military authority that Villa
is regarded by the army as the agency
which brought about the fall of Huerta
and that he. with his army eventually
would have gone to Mexico City
whether or not Great Britain had Sc
cured the abdication of Huerta. Most
of the officers think Villa Is in position
to dictate terms to Carranza and that
he is only waiting to hear what kind
of terms Carbajal and Carranza will
agree on before making his purpose
known.

LINERS RETURN
BACK TO PORT
GERMAN COMPANIES DIRECT
FOUR SHIPS TO COME BACK
FOR SAFETY.
Fearing Capture BY British Cruisers
Said To Be ManeuVering of
the American Coast.

Western Newspaper Union. Cincinnati. o.
New YOrk.-For the first time in the
annals of the sea a number of ocean
going liners were in port as a result
of having been recalled because of
war danger to the point of departure
and so prevented from sailing directly
into the hands OF an enemy.
Three German ships, the President
Grant of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Line and the Grosser Kurfuerst and
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse of the
North German-Lloyd, returned to New
York after having each proceeded
more than 400 miles on their voyages
to Europe.
Passengers on the vessesls we're ap.
prised of the European hostilities in a
unique manner. Couples strolling on
the decks noticed suddenly that the
moon had shifted from the starboard
to the port side of the vessel. Inquiry
brought the information that the ships
had turned on their courses to escape
capture.
Il received the message to turn,
said Captain Meyerdiercks, of the
President Grant. I'VE were out 431
miles. We turned instantly, and com.
ing up | kept as close as possible to
the American shore. We had received
a message that battle ship was in
the vicinity"
The Martha Washington, of the Aus
tro-American Line, is on her way back
She was off Sandy Hook and will dock
The American Line steamer st. Paul.
one of the few big boats left free to
sail the seas, arrived.
The International Mercantile Ma.
rine Company, owning the White Star,
American, Red STAR Atlantic Trans
port, LeyIand and Dominion lines, sent
wireless messages to all it's ships at
sea warning them to be ready to
change their courses.
Fear is entertained here that the
British cruisers Essex and Bristol
supposed to be maneuvering off the
American coast, may capture the
North German-Lloyd liner George
Washington.
No recent news has been received
from her. II the English take the
steamer she would probably be con.
voyed to Halifax, N. s., where her pas.
sengers would be landed.

The most striking feature of the at
titude of the French people as whole
is their calm determination and their
confidence in Franco-Russian
victory. I'VE must win this
tine or we, shall cease to
exist as nation" is the sentiment of
all. This position contrasts vividly
with the attitude of the nation on the
eve of the War OF 1870. Lieutenant
Colonel Roussete, famous military
expert, said: II saw the prelimina-
ries of the War of 1870 and the panic
in which they threw the nation because
everybody felt that France was not
ready. Now everything is calm and
serene at the war office because the
machinery is working magnifcently.
The war office is like a huge factory,
where everything is done with fever
ish haste. This is our greatest sign
Of success. The deep indignation
caused in France by Germany's meth
DDS in beginning the war is voiced by
the Temps, which says: up to the
last moment the French and Russian
governments had given Germany
credit for acting in good faith; there
is now no longer doubt that it is in
ambush Russians and Frenchmen

Washington, Aug. If necessary"
said Counsellor Lansing Of the state
department, this government will
charter enough vessels to bring every
citizen of the United States to this
country" This statement was made
in response to a question as to what

ENGLAND DEPENDS ON NAVY.

London-By being drawn into the
European war as member of the
Triple Entente, Great Britain will ma
turally depend upon her great navy to
assist her land forces in the present
war. Ranking as the greatest world
naval power, much will be expected of
her, despite the fact that France with
her powerful navy and Russia with a
navy nearly depleted by the Japanese
Russia war, will assist Great Britain
in attempting to destroy Germany's
powerful ravy.

weird prophet or closer student OF
