MODELLING WITH
ALL THEIR ENERGY
Nearly All European Powers Are
Taking Steps to Join
Big Conflict.

London, Aug. ALI the great Eu-
ropean powers except Italy, and most
of the secondary powers are mobiliz-
ing with all their energy. Mobiliza-
ton has not yet reached stage
where any OF the armies have met In
battle.
Italy, which declared her neutrality,
will begin to mobilize officially, al
though the process probably is well
under way. Great Britain's mobiliza-
ton is nearly completed, but she has
not announced that she will join in
the general war.
War officially exists between Aus
tria and Germany on one side and
Russia, Servia and Montenegro on the
other. There has been no official dec
laration of war between Germany and
France on the other side, but the Ger
man ambassador in Paris received or
ders to demand his passports.
The most serious event in the last
twenty-four hours was Germany's de-
mand on Belgium, in the form of a
twelve-hour ultimatum, that the Ger
man troops be permitted to cross Bel
GUM to the French frontier, coupled
with the promise that Belgian integ-
rity should remain unimpaired at the
end of the war and that Belgium
should be compensated. .."

Began to Shell Belgrade.

Having paid no attention to the
pacific and conciliatory reply of the
Servian government and having re-
jected the benevolent Intervention Of
Russia, Austria-Hungary made haste
to proceed to an armed attack and
began to lombard Belgrade, an open
place.
Forced by the situation thus Gre
ated to take necessary measures Of
precaution we ordered the army and
navy to be put on a war footing, at the
same time using every endeavor to
obtain peaceful solution. Pour par.
lers were begun amid friendly relations
with Germany and her ally, Austria,
for the blood and the property of our
subjects were dear to us.
Contrary to our hopes in our good
neighborly relations of long date. and
disregarding our assurances that the
mobilization measures taken were in
pursuance of no object hostile to her,
Germany demanded their immediate
cessation. Being rebuffed in this de-
mand Germany suddenly declared war
on Russia.

BOYS AND GIRLS FARMING

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. g.
The most valuable influence of coun-
try life in Colorado for young people
are the club meetings of farmers boys
and girls, according to w. E. Vaplon,
of the State Agricultural college, re-
Gently appointed state leader in club
work among boys and girls. We was
in Colorado Springs recently to con-
fer with w. II. Lauck, county agri-
culturist of FL Paso county. The whole
movement of the rural club work is
directed to teach the beauty and use
of country life to farm children, so
that they will remain in the country
instead of going to the cities.
Vaplon is visiting the various coun-
ty agents to get in touch with the
work and he is planning to enlarge
the scope of the movement. 1t is
probable he win try to introduce later
into the school curriculum an agricul-
tural course of study.
"Some form of agriculture should
be in the curriculum of every school.
he said. at is essential that coun-
try children should have working
idea of scientific farming and hope
to have it introduced"
There are between 40 and so clubs
in the state now and more than 600
children are Interested in the work.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 2.-Closs to
$4,000 veterans Of the Civil war to-

followed their comrades In automo-

Of the men who fought for their coun-

old soldier, as he passed the flag

head of more than 1000 members Of
the auxiliary organization, bringing

might be overcome by the unusual
exertion. For first aid, two large
hospital tents were erected along the
line of march and every established
hospital in the city was prepared for
any emergency. The route Of the
march was lined with twenty anbu-
