MUCH DANGER

Much interest and some anxiety is
being manifested here among the rel
atives and friends of the Paris peo-
pie who sailed from New York on
July 9, on the steamship Carpathia,
Tor a European tour. 1t is probable
that they are now in the war-troubled
zone Mrs. Sidney G. Clay and daugh-
ter, Miss Alice Rogers Clay, Mr.. and
sailed on the Carpathia, the same
steamer which carried on it's passen-
ger list the Lexington Herald's' con-
test winners. The party has been
beard from Indirectly, being in Ma
pies, Italy. On the voyage out of
New York they ran through three
days Of fog, the captain remaining on
the bridge continuously. The only
one of the party affected by sea sick
ness was Mr. James Thompson, Sr.
Mr.. Thompson, Jr., took part in all
games aboard the ship, and won sew
eral of the sporting events. Mrs.
Clay was ill for a short time, but
soon recovered. They wrote that
their trip to Germany would be side
tracked owing to the state of war pre-
yailing there. Miss Fannie Johnson,
of Paris, and Miss Anna Louise Best,
of Millersburg, who are studying
music in Berlin, had gone to London
for a summer trip, and intended to re-
turn 10 Berlin for a years stay but
owing to the state of war, and the
difficulty in obtaining funds now their
stay in London would be matter of
expediency. Mr. Chris Grosche, for
merly of Paris, and who has been con-
Quoting a bakery and confectionery
business in Montgomery, Ala, for sew
eral years, left New. York several
days ago, in company with his wife,
on the steamer Imperator, for trip
to Westphaia, Germany, to spend a
month in reViSiting the scenes Of his
youth in and around that historic
Teuton country, and it is probable he
will have some difficulty in returning.
His sons, Henry, Will, Frank and
Joseph, who reside here, have heard
nothing from him, but are confident
ne viii return safely.
The future route of the Paris party
is a matter of dubt, and as war now
actually exists between Germany and
France, the party may not be allowed
20 travel in those countries.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Aug. 2.-An
official statement issued to-day says:
In consequence of a Russian at
tack on German territory, Germany is
in a state of war with Russia. The
French reply to the German represen-
tation is of an unsatisfactory charac-
ter.
Moreover, France has modified
nr1th Of Franco
must, therefore, be reckoned with any
day or any moment"
Another statement declares that
Russia has invaded Germany during
a time of peace, "in fragrant contra
diction of Russia's peaceful assur-
ances."
RUSSIANS INVADE GERMANY.

Russian column, swith artillery, ha
crossed the German frontier at
Schwinden, southeast of Bialla.

Warthe Two Germans were wound
ed The attack was repulsed. The

ment adds, shows that Russia has In
vaded German territory and that wal

SITUATION IN ITALY GRAVE.
ROME ITALY, Aug. 2-The wal
situation, is far as Italy is concerned
more grave to-day. The censorship

duct to treaty obligations.
ENGLAND is PREPARING.
LONDON, ENGLAND, aug. g.
