The Peruvian government has not
received official dispatches from its
consular representatives in Chile

called its consuls from Chile. The

Urubamba, now at Valparaiso, has
been ordered to bring to Callao, all
Peruvians desiring TO leave Chile.
The reported cancellation by the
Peruvian government of all the
execuatuors of Chilean consuls in
Peru is incorrect, Lima Ia quiet.

british Wireless Service1 1-Publi-
cation of official reports from the
Bavarian minister at Berlin to his
home government confirm evidence
in the hands of the entente that
Germany and Austria conspired to
bring about the war. II was for
this reason that the terms of Aus
trias ultimatum to Serbia were
made so drastic that hoshlities

These revelations have been pub

had been asked by the Ravarian

are in the form of a report sent TO

According to the report the de-

was delayed until after President

which would make it difficult for
the entente nations to arrive at an
understanding and take counter
measures.
