| LONDON. July 31.-Twenty-
five years ago this past weekend,
the World War broke out. AS If
in observance of that memorable
date, diplomats of Europe moved
to strengthen allied lines against
the threat of a still greater World
War.
British delegates left today for
Moscow for the avowed purpose
of concluding the triple alliance
between England. France and
Russia, prepared to agree or force
agreement on all questions of the
alliance. AT the same time, the
war department released particu-
lars of>the hinge naval maneuvers
to commence this week with the
base of operations at the conflu-
ence of the North and Baltic seas.
Italy is in the midst of army
and navy maneuvers and Ger
many, likewise, has called for
general maneuvers in all branches
of her military machine.
So much for Europe.
In the Far East, Japan COM
mands the main attention, as pre-
parations are being made to force
several unsatisfactory demands
upon England in the blockade
situation along the Chinese coast.
To prepare for any eventuality,
Great Britain has sent tout ques-
tionnaires to all her colonies on
the question of cooperation
should abrogation of trade agree
ments with Japan be decided
upon.
| Japanese authorities proceeded
still further along the line of
ruling the Orient" when the
press authorized to release edi-
torials setting up England, Rus
STA and the United States as the
common enemy of Japan.
Among the reasons for so term
ing the three great. nations was
the insistence that all had acted
to favor China in the undeclared
war with Japan,

BATON ROUGE, La, July 81.
The Citizens Committee were
turned down today by Governor
Earl Long in their request to
place all affairs of the investiga-
tions now going on in the hands
of a virtual receiver.
Gov. Long fought off the sug-
gestion on the score that the ma
chinery now existent in the state
was well equipped to handle all
angles of the statewide investi-
cations. Citizens feel, however,
that political expediency will aci
to cover up some of the situations
that should receive a thorough
airing. Gov. Long assured the
committee that such would moi
be the case.
