ASSEMLI OF TROOPS
 IS CONFIRMED
London Times Correspondent Sent Dispatch Confirming Report of Russian Mobilization.
 Exports Prohibited

London, England July 3l.-The correspondent of the Times, tele- graphing from St. Petersburg, said general mobilization has been or dered Never within the living mem- roy of men has Russia lived through such day of emotion. The govern ment decided on mobilization late Thursday, which step was forced when is became apparent that Ger many was purposely delaying off cial notice of mobilization in order to place Russia in position of in- feriority.
 A dispatch from Paris reports that the Germans seized a French loca- motive at frontier points and had torn up the permanent railway lines at Pagny and machine guns have been placed in position.
 A dispatch to the Times from Rome says the rumor was in circuia ton there last night that Germany nad sent an ultimatum to both Rus sla and France. There is no confir- nation of this report, and rumor to lhe same effect has been published oy the Exchange Telegraph company. out It Is significant that the official agency at Rome in repudiating the report Is circulating it and does not specifically deny it.

Supreme Court Has Ruled that a Man Cannot Take Money from Prohi- bitiOn District and Purchase

The Supreme Court has ruled that a man cannot take money from a per son in prohibition territory, and pur- chase intoXicants in wet territory. to be delivered without being sub ject to prosecution
 This decision was given in the ease of State vs. Brewer, from the Lee circuit court. Brewer had taken money from a friend in Lee county, for the purchase of four quarts of Whiskey in Phillips county, and bought and paid for the whiskey in Helena. It was then delivered to his friends in Lee county. Brewer was indicted on a charge of acting as agent for the delivery of liquors in dry territory, and upon trial before the court sitting as a jury was a quilted. The state appealed and th2 Supreme Court. finding that the low or court had erred, reversed the case and remanded it for new trial. The Tt holds;

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-"The time is coming, said Deputy State Bank Commissioner J. D. Covey, "when state banks and their officers will be prohibited from owning large blocks of stock in other corporations. It is already prohibited in many other states. It has been found to be de- trimental to the interests of the bank, and there are plenty of other lines of investment that are profitable, and that will nor involve the interests of the bank. Of course, it will take some time to work our +-7e eh; re, for it can not be done arbitrarily But it must gradually come around to that And the time is also coming when the manager of a bank will be paid a sufficient salary to require him to give his entire (tention and energy to it.

ENGLISH PEOPLE CALM
 EST NATION OF EUROPE
Are Concerned as to Food Supplies. Also as to What Extent Private Fortunes Will be Impaired
 by Financial Troubles

London, England, July 31.-Facing the most perilous epoch in their his tory since they shivered before Napoleonic invasion, the English peo- pie are the calmest nation of Europe Yesterday they thought the decision whether the British government was to be drawn into general European war was hanging in the balance. Today they believe it a probability rather than a possibility
 There is no mistaking the fact that with the exception of a minority of the peace advocates. whose voices are hardly heard, and which seem to carry little weight, the nations mind is re- conciled to war. There has been no demonstration, no flag waving, no music hall patriotism, but there is ap- parent among all classe a silent and grim determination if the govern ment declares the nations interests land obligations require her to take up arms siding with Russia and France, to see the business through to the bitter end.
 Change is Marvellous.
 The belief of the average man is that the existence of the whole of Europe as an armed camp, nervous and jealous could have but one cul- imitation, and if the hour for gen era settlement has struck, there will be no flinching. The change that has swept over the temper of the country within a week is marvellous. A week ago the country was wrap ped up in prize fights, the Goodwood races, the Cowes regatta, vacations on the continent. Tonight they are asking only the one question:: Gan the British fleet play its part in pro tecting the island from isolation, which means in the first instance can it destroy the German navy" They are concerned also as to wheth- CT food supplies can be maintained, and to what extent private fortunes will be impaired by the financial up- heavalS of war.
 Mobilization Complete.
 The military situation stands where it did last night Mobilization of naval forces is complete, and the army is on war footing, except for a calling out of the territorials. The machinery for their mobilization re- quires only that word be set in motion The request of the depart ment that English newspapers re- frain from publishing any army and navy movements met with patriotic Great Britain. The popular belief pers publish news concerning almost all of the armies of Europe except IrGeat Britain. The popular belief is that the British fleet is in the neighborhood of Flushing, near the North Sea; but the truth is known only to members of the government. Dover and Sheerness are virtually on war basis and protecting bombs are ready to be drawn around at a moments notice These and other harbors have been mined.

The Ready Reference Record
and Solution Blank Book
at HALF PRICE.
PICTURE NO. Fl

BY way Of explanation; Before
starting the Picture Puzzle Pastime it
was realized that Journal readers as
q whole were not familiar with the
different phases and workings of a.
contest of this nature and that much
enlightenment in this direction would
be necessary. A campaign of educa-
ton was begun and kept up for many
weeks but even today with the con-
test half over there are many readers
who do not thoroughly understand the
Pastime, this being in part due to their
not having provided themselves with
the two books necessary for an in
telligent and thorough understanding
of the contest. The main idea Of the
contest is to amuse readers and at
the same time reward them for their
work or play as one may look at it.
It is open to all readers of the paper
the means of placing the paper before
new readers, the main object has been
attained. The contest is not regard
ed in a financial light and remember
this, the Journal will not, in actual
cash, make anything in this contest.
The big cash prizes and the various
expenses attendant on a contest Of
this nature preclude any such posi-
bility. The Journal is content if the
contest has amused it's readers, old
and new. The two books used in
connection with the contest are, in the
main, necessary to the general scheme

of the Pastime If there was no
Ready Reference every answer sub
mitted would be nothing but a guess
and the names to select from would be
a very large number. The Record
limits the number to a comparative
few and makes the work more of a
certainty. A necessary book without
doubt. The Solution Blank Book has
been designed to meet the peculiar
conditions that prevail among con-
testants as regards the solution of the
pictures. The wide diversity of ideas
on one or several pictures only goes
TO prove the old saying about no two
minds alike. In order to give con-
testants the widest latitude ten an
swers to each picture are permitted
in the Solution Book. In addition to
this and in order to make it more in
teresting, 20 of the contest pictures
have been keyed in such a way that
contestants can hardly help solving
them. The cost of compiling. pre-
pairing and printing these books was
a considerable expense and the price
charged for each did not admit of any
profit. In fact, all things considered,
they were sold at cost. Now as the
contest is drawing to a close and
many readers do not seem to realize
that these books are a necessity the
Journal, in order to benefit every
reader, will dispose of the remaining
books at about half price, while they
