POWERS STRIVE TO PREVENT WAR Diplomats Energetically ‘Labor to Settle Differences of Austria and Servia. JOINT MEDIATION PROPOSED England, France, Germany and Italy ‘May Co-operate in Effort to Avert ' Hostilities, or at Least Local- a ize Conflict. London, July 28.—No details are available regarding an engagement be- tween Austrians and Servians report- ed to have occurred on the Danube, and it is not believed to have been of importance. As far as the censorship permits to be known, Austria has not yet opened her military operations. Meanwhile, diplomacy is proceeding with energy along two separate lines to avert the war, if possible, and, if that is impossible, to confine the con- flict to Austria and Servia. First, Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary of state for foreign affairs, has proposed to the powers a plan for joint media- tion, which, it is stated, France and Italy already have accepted. Germany has not yet replied and her acceptance is regarded doubtful. Sir Edward Grey explained in the house of commons his idea that. the four powers, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy, co-operate in an endeavor to arrange the dispute be- tween Austria and Servia on the basis of Servia's reply to the Austrian ulti- matum. This reply he regarded as the fcaindation on which friendly and impartial powers should be able to arrange an accepted settlement. The second line of diplomatic en- deavor from which even more is hoped is taking place at St. Petersburg be- tween the Russian minister of foreign affairs, Sergius Sazonoff, and the Aus- trian ambassador. It is understood that M. Sazonoff is making a strenu- ous effort.to bringabout a direct un- derstanding and that a solution on these lines would be more agreeable to Germany than Great Britain's con- ference proposal. , The Russian emperor who was re- ported té have postponed his intend- ed visit to Finland in order to remain in the capital during the crisis, has left, according to advices received here. It is said Russia is urging Ser- via to give Aystria the fullest possible satisfaction. An extremely warlike spirit prevails in Vienna, where the evening papers declare the Servians are only making evasions and that therefore it is im- Possible for the Austrian government to retreat. They hint that even should Servia accept the Austrian ultimatum unconditionally, and offer to pay the cost of Austria’s mobilization, Austria now would’ be compelled to ask for new guarantees. - Paris Riots Against War. Paris, July 28.—Violent anti-war demonstrations occurred on the boule- vards, accompanied by the singing of revolutionary songs. Large forces of Police and mounted guards under the direction of Prefect Hennion frequent- ly charged the crowds. Many persons were. knocked down and injured. Servian Minister Gets Passports. London, July 27.—itecent develop- ments appear tg furnish new proots that Austria is determined to make war on Servia and the possibilities of @ general European war seem greater than ever have confronted the presert generation. The Servian reply to the Austro- Hungarian ultimattim was an accept- ance of almost aii the imperious de- mands except that Austrian officials participate in the investigation and fix the responsibility for the anti-Aus- trian propaganda. Servia proposed @n apeal to the powers at The Hague for the settlement of that feature. Not- withstanding this humiliating surren- der, which was more than Europe ex- pected of the proud little nation, the Austrian government gave the Ser ‘vian minister’ his passports, which may be constriied virtually a declara- tion of war. Austria committed an act of war by erresting the chief of the Servian gen-|. eral staff, General Putnik, near Buda- Peet, but he soon was released by the emperor's direct command. : First Clash Reported.

It was during this interval that the shots which hurt them most were fired.

Men who become dissatisfied with the service and want to quit may have an honorable discharge by merely re- ‘funding certain enlistment allowances. This radical departure from tradi- tional naval methods has been under consideration by the secretary ever since he came into office. He an- nounced today that the navy now had Practically a full quota—51,34&penlist- ed men—compared with a shortage of more than four thousand eighteen months ago, and that the time to take the step had come. Secretary Daniels, in a statement announcing the new order, said: “Enlistments in the navy have al- ways been for a definite period—at Present four years, and it has always been difficult, and at times, impossible for mer to terminate their ¢ontract of. enlistment by honorable discharge be- fore the enlistment expired.
