Only Barest Hope of Prevenfing It Entertained in Germany. —_— Berlin, Oct. 9.—A general war in the lkans has beep practically inaug- ted, is the opinion of both diplo- matic circles and the press in Ger- many. At the foreign office it ia thought that the attitude'of the Bal- kan people leaves only the barest hope of the measures taken by the powers . Proving successful, as any conc: made by the Balkan government would threaten the security of the occupants of the thrones of Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece. For this rea- #on these governments dare not yield. One of the leading Berlin banks re- eeived a telegram today from Belgrade stating that the declaration of war by Bervia would probably be delivered immediately. Servian troops, it was stated, were being rushed by forced marches toward the frontier from ¢he gnobilization centers. The Servians and Turks have al- ready come into contact, accos to the report of a special correspondent. Another telegrath from Belgrade states that the, reply of the Servian premier, Q. Pasitch, to the Austro-Russian rep- gesentations was tantamount to re- Jection. He declared that the Monte- negrin declaration of war had created 8 new situation which was decisive for Servia's further action. The solid- grity of ‘the Balkans would, he said, be maintained at all costs, and the popular feeling in was so strong that it would not permit the f:vnmment to depart from the coutse which it had embarked. There was almost a repetition of thé scenes which took plage on “Black Tuesday” (October 1) on the Bourse today under the conviction that a gen- @ral war in the Balkans was inevita- le. There was an all-round fall of rom two to eight points and the slump was -checked only slightly just before the cloge. TO AID OLD SERVIA. King of Montenegro Issues Proclama- tion to His People. Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 9.—King Nicholas has issued a proclaamtion pummoning the Montenegrins to go immediately to the assistance of their brethren in Old Servia, where he de- clared women and children are being massacred. “Montenegro had ho to secure the liberation of the Sm in Turkey without the sh®dding of blood, but peaceful endeavors proved unavailing,” continues ‘the proclaamtion. “and no other recourse was left but to take up the sword in their behalf. “We are assureq in this holy=ander- taking, of the sympathy of the whole civilized world, and we will have the loyal assistance of the kings of Ser- via, Bulgaria and Greece and their Ppeopies. who in this affair have ranged themselves with the Montenegrins like brothers.” The proclamation eoncludes: “Mon- tenegro is attacking Turkey, not from motives of arrogance, hut inspired by B noble resolve to prevent the final ex- fermination of her brethren.” PERILOUS FOR EUROPE. Paris Newspaper Takes a Pessimistio View of the Situation, Paris, Oct. 9—The conservative jour~ hal, Des Debats, prints a pessimistic feview of the political situation in Rurope, In which it warns France Bgainst weakening = her military strength at home by sending troops to Moroceo and other colonies, The opin- fon is expressed by the paper that the ‘war will enguif the entlrs Balkan pen. nsula, hecause It was decided upon Pot only by the Balkan states, hut also by several great powers,” Whether the Balkan states win or l.:se. the situation is perilous for Bu- De. ia, It is Said at London. the allies from seizing the territorial spoils of war; if they lose, Russia could :3"1;. abandon her Slav brothers of the u HAVE NOT DECLARED WAR.

Consulting a memorandum book, in which he had practically all items he ever spent for campaign purposes, Mr. Taft was on the point of telling the committee how much the nomination in 1908 had cost him, when Chairman Clapp stated that the committes had no autherity to investigate the pre- convention campaign of that year, or funds used in the election now in progress. ’ To Avoid Corporate Obligatien. Mr. Taft said his object in going in- to the campaign was to see that if his brather was elected he ‘“should walk into the White house free of any mo- netary obligation to any individual, | great interest or corporation.” “On this basis,” he added, “I was prepared to go the limit. I believed my brother was admirably equipped | for the position. I believed in his in- | tegrity, his fearlessness, and I belleved no one could bulldoze or use him. The printipal thing to be pbviated was the influence on any candidate of any monetary interest.” Dan Hanna Gave $177,000 for Roosevelt Dan R. Hanna of Cleveland, backer of the Roosevelt forces in Ohio this year, as the president's brother was of the Taft forces, followed Mr. Taft on the stand. 0 He testified that he gave $177,000 to the support of the Roosevelt cam- paign for nomination this year. Of this sum, $50,000 went to the Roosevelt national committee; $50,000 to Walter Brown, manager of the Roosevelt Ohiu campaign; and another $77,000 to the work of reorganization in Ohio. Clark’s Campaign Cost $50,468.50. The expenses of the fight of Speaker Champ Clark for the democratic nomi- nation for the presidency was given by his manager, former Senator Fred T.

Champlin had been the nominal head of the Taft forces until “Congressman Gardner came down and took charge.” He volunteere other infermation about the Taft campaign and said the greatest amounts had been spent in Fall River, New Bedferd and Werees- ter, “and in Congressman Gardner's own distriet, the Bixth, where John Hays Hammend lives.” “I eanm’t preveq it, put T think they spent mueh mere than we did,” he said, "“Our meney was spent in edu- eational weork, rallies, literature and the like; while mest of theirs was spent in the last three weeks, after Cengressman Ga’flnn began tfe get warried,” . f i Harriman Fund Incident.

Governor and Speaker Clasp Hands Before Large Bt Louls, Oct. 9—Speaker Champ Clark and Governor Woodrow Wilson campalgned together today in Illinois and Missouri, the two states which preferred Mr. Clark by a heavy vote in the primaries fo _rthe ratic presidential nomination. Enthusiasm marke® the greeting the two men weceived as they appeared in Springfleld, Granite City and Bast St. Louls, Il., and at St. Louls in Mis- souri. “The office of President of the United States Is the greatest in the world,” Speaker Clark said at Sp eld, “that's why 1 wanted to be president. I don't have to tell this audience that Woodrow Wilson was not my first cholce, My first choice was defeated. However, I am now for Governor Wil- son for the presidency as every true democrat ought to be.” The governor and 8 Clark shook hands amid great applause. The crowd at the fair grounds in Spring- fleld was so great that the governor's volce could not. reach the outer ex- tremity of the throng. “My thoughts about both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt,” the governor sald in his speech at the fair grounds, “is that of entire respect, but these gen- tlemen have been so intimately as- sociated with the powers that have been determining the policy of this government for almost a gemeration that they cannot look at the affairs of the United States with the view of a new age and a changed set of circum- stances. Their thought is in close hab- itual association with those who have framed the protective tariff; have de- veloped the trusts; have co-ordinated and ordered all the great economic forces of this country In such fashion that nothing but an outside force breaking in can disturb their=tom- inatlon and control. Therefore the Democratic party stands up in the presence of these gentlemen and says: “We are not denying your inter- grity, we are not denying your pur- pose, but the thought of the people of the United States has not yet pene- trated to your consciowgness. You are willing to act fo’ rLIm*Qopln but you are not “willing to act through the people.” At Springfl‘ the governor laid a wreath on the tomb of Lincoln.. He was accompanied to the tomb by the members of the Supreme Court of II- linois. The governor and his party reach- ed St. Louis late today.
