BERLIN, July 3O.-The Foreign
Office late this afternoon authorized the
United Press to make the following
statement.
Germany has taken decisive steps at
St. Petersburg Paris and other Euro
pean capitals within the past hour, the
results OF which will determine the is
sue of war or peace
Germany has faithfully kept the
peace, and the reports of mobilization
Of Gcrmen troops have been premature
Germany has made no war move. The
only steps taken have been in the di-
rection Of peace. Now the Fatherland
must decide upon measures calculated
to meet the dangerous situation result
ing from Russia's activity on the
frontier"
The foregoing authorized statement
made to Karl II. Won Wiegand, United
Press staff Correspondent in Berlin, sug
costs most critical situation in the
German capital II was accompanied by
no explanation. but the nature of the
dispatches from Berlin during the day
suggests that all matter is being sub
iectod to close scrutiny by the German
press censors. The fact that the foreign
Office has seen ft frankly to state its
position TO the world through the med
ium Of the press would seem TO indicate
that the Kaiser's government is seeking
to clear the atmosphere and pave the
way for definite and immediate action.

OF ARMY MOBILIZATION

ST. PETERSBURG, July 30. -
Russia today officially notified Ger
many and Austrin Of the mobilization
of fourteen army corps, numbering L.
100000 men. The Gar Is said to have
expressed the intention Of taking the
field as cOmmander.in-ch in event
Of hOstIllties.
This is Russia's answer to a virtual
ultimatum which came from the GER
man foreign office ip the official
statement that the Kaiser would order
the mobilization Of his forces unless
Russia ceased her military activities
within "a hours.
II Is explained in St. Petersburg
that the mobilization Of the fourteen
corps ordered by the Czar does not
mean war with Germany is necessar-
fly inevitable. The troops are to he
massed along the Austrian and not the
German frontier, It Is declared. In

averted, the foreign office stated. II
Austria would withdraw from Seryian
territory and cease all military prep
aratiOns. diplomatic negotiations
with Austria might then he resumed.
Il was reported here today that Em-
peror Franz Joseph had forwarded a
personal letter to the Gar 1t is gem
orally regarded as certain, however,
that any efforts of Austria to reopen
diplomatic negotiations while its
troops menace Servian territory, will
be met with rebuffs.
The foreign Office today emphasized
its stand that the invasion of Servia
would not be countenanced.
I That intervention will mean con-
fiot with Germany is not admitted
| but there is little hope this may be
avoided If Austria continues her ad-
vance upon the force OF King Peter.
In addition to the mobilization Oi

explanation of the mobilization of his

With the situation now in the hands
of the general staff, there is an omi-

preparing for action rather than further
diplomatic negotiations.
II was learned on reliable authority
today that the Kaiser had not yet de-

This demand is withheld, however, at
the request of the general staff. II

unsatisfactory answer is expected. An
