POWERS T STRIVE T0 AVERT WAR First Step Taken by British Minister, SITUATION APPEARS EXTREMELY GRAVE Several Gontinental Powers Ac- fively Engaged in Mobiliza- tion of Forces. London, July 28.—Glimmers of hope flicker in the darkened sky of Euro- pean policles. While all the powers are preparing for possible eventuall- ties, with Russia and Germany tak- ing active preparatory steps, Belgium and France considering arrangements for mobilizing forces, and the British navy ordered ready, their statesmen, with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary at their head, are endeavoring to bring together the governments at issue with a view to mediation. Sir Edward Grey invited the gov- ernments of Austria-Hungary, Servia and Russia to suspend operations pending the result of his proposed conference, - which would be held in London. His suggestion was that the French, German and Italian ambassa- dors in London should confer with him in the endeavor to find a means of solving the present difficulties. The Italian government informed him it accepted lis invitation to join in a mediation conference. Servian Legation Hopeful. At the Servian legation in Londen the view was held that some improve- ment had taken place in the situation, and this was attributed to the influ- ence exercised by Russia. Alex Ceorgevitch, the first secretary, said: “We have complied with everything that does not impair our sovereign rights. If, however, Austria-Hungary wants war she will see that we are prepared to accept it in the interests of the dignity of our state.” The fact that Austrian ambassadors | abroad were willing to discuss the controversial points with foreign gov- ernments, and especially with Russia, led to the belief that an outlet for the deadlock would be found. The stock markets of London and the European capitals still displayed a panicky feeling, although it was not as pronounced as on Saturday. Sir Edward Grey, in announcing in the house of commons the steps to be taken to bring about mediation, said: “I understand that the German gov- ernment is favorable to mediation in principle as between Russia and Aus- tria, but to our particular proposal to apply that principle by means of a conference the German government has not yet.replied.” Sees Great Catastrophe. Sir Edward said failure of these ef- forts to bring about a settlement would lead to “the greatest catastro- phe which could befall the concert of Europe, and its consequences would be incalculable.” The Italian and German ambassa- dors here conferred with Sir Edward Grey with what result could not be ascertained. The members of the foreign diplo- matic corps and officials of the Brit- ish foreign office were early astir. A most serious view of the situa- tion is taken here and every eflort is being made to find seme way out of the crisis. It is said Austria-Hungary will not move her forces azainst the Servian capital for twenty-four hours, which Is confirmation of a statement made by the Austrizn ambassador in Lon- don that Austria-Hungary desired to give Servia further time to consider her reply to the ultimatum from Vienna. Outside of Austria-Hungary and Germany, the reply sent by Servia is regarded as a very fair one, ‘as it grants all the demands which a sov- ereign state could grant. BELGIAN TRGSPS SUMMONED Partial Mobilization Brings Total of Active Force to 130,000, Brussels, .July 28.—Partial mobiliza- tion of the Beigian army was ordered, raising the total of the active force to 100,000 en.

C. ledsoe, Indianapolis, Ind, was drowned here when he attempted to show his diving skill by plunging from a height of seventy feet. His body has not heen recovered. Two More Bubonic Cases. ' New Orleans, July 28.—Roise South. ern, aged fifteen; a negro girl, and Joseph E. Williams, aged -twenty- four, a megro, have developed bubonic plague, making a total of i thirteen hu: PROBE OF DUBLIN KILLING IS ASKED John Redmond Brings Sub- ject Before Commons. POLICE OFFICIAL BLAMED Requisitioned Use of Military Forces on His Own Responsibility, Accord- ing to Official Statement—London Newspaper Says Weakness of Gov- ernment Resulted in Massacre. London, July 28.—Information as to _the “shocking occurrénce” in Dublin, as John E. Redmond, the Irish Na- tionalist leader, characterized the con- flict between the regular troops of the British army and the Irish Na- tionalists, which resulted in the kill- ing of four persons and wounding of many others, was demanded imme- diately after the opening of the ses- sion of the house of commons. Mr. Redmond was so dissatisfied with the meager information given him that he moved an adjournment of the house in order to debate the matter. Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, threw the blame for the conflict on the assistant police com- missioner, who, he said, had requisi- tioned the military entirely on his own responsibility. “Ought to Be Hanged.” The Nationalist members shouted, “He ought to be hanged.” Premier Asquith, who heard of the fighting while he was staying at his country home, immediately proceeded to London by motor car and arrived here in the early hours. As the premier is also secretary for war he immediately took charge of af- fairs at the war office. The Daily News calls the affair a massacre and demands a rigid inves- tigation of the conduct of the sol- diers. It lays the responsibility upon the weakness of the government which allowed the organization of the Ulster volunteers and could not pro- hibit the Nationalists from doing the same. BLOOD AS WELL AS GOLD Irish-Americans Promise Support to Countrymen at Home. Philadelphia, July 28.—Cablegrams have been sent from this city to Dub- lin asking for details of the killing there and pledging “Irish-American blood as well as gold” in case it is needed. One cable sent by Sir Roger Casement, a leader of the volunteers now in this city, read: “Cable full particulars. Irish-Ameri- can blood as well as gold 'to give to the cause of Irish freedom. Those killed are the first of thousands pre- pared to die for Ireland.” Joseph McGiarrity, chairman, and General Collins, vice chairman, of the American volunteer fund committee, jointly cabled as follows: “Irish-Americans wild with rage; American people horrified; the blood of those martyrs is not shed in vain; retribution will be swift and sure from the Irish race throughout the world.” GREAT INTEREST IN CASE lowan Who Lived Six Months With Neck Broken Is Dead. Muscatine, Ia., July 28.—After liv- ing for six months with a broken neck Valentine Imhoff of Muscatine died at Bellevue hospital here. The case at- tracted nationwide interest, being one of the most unusual known to modern surgery. The aged man suf- fered a dislocation of the vertebrae when he fell last winter. He was picked up in a paralyzed condition and rushed to the hospital where his neck and head were placed in a plas- ter cast. The slightest twist would have brought instant death, but for six months the physicians were suc- cessful in prolonging his life. He was fed entirely upon liquids. WETS ARE VICTORS IN TEXAS Submission of Statewide . Prohibition Defeated. Dallas, Tex., July 28.—With returns from the Democratic primary still incomplete the following results are conceded: Submission to statewide prohibition was . defeated by a majority of from 15,000 to 20,000. James E. Ferguson of Temple, anti- prohibitionist, was nominated for gov- ernor by 30,000 to 40,000 over Thomas H. Ball of Houston, former congress- man, chosen by a prohibition state convention to make the race. Demo- cratic nominations in Texas are equiv- alent to election. REJECTS BRYAN'S PROPOSAL Germany Against Treaty for Arbitra. tion of All Disputes. Berlin, July 28.—Germany will re- fuse to accept Secretary Bryan's pro- posal for ageneral treaty under which all disputes would be arbitrated -be- fore a resort was had to war. The ground taken is that the uncertain- ties of European politics require a free hand for speedy mobilization. DROWN IN RESCUE ATTEMPT Bear Creek, Wis.
