B wondon, July 31—In" the desperate ' situatiop there are only two factors tonight giving the faintest hope of ‘averting a general European war: First—Russia and Austria’ are en- “gaged again in direct negotiations; second, both Great Britain and France are using their utmost endeavors in favor of peace. On the other hand, Russia has or- derfd a general mobilization and Ger- | many has declared -a staté of siege, which is undoubtedly a prelude to, if it does not cover mobilization: France “Not Mabilized. .

Yesterday they felt that the decision whether Great Britain was to be drawn into a general European war was hanging in the balance: today they believe it is a probability rather than a /poesibility. See It Through to End. There is no mistaking the fact that, with the exception of a minority of peace advocates whose voice is hardly ‘heard .and seems to carry little weight, the nation’s mind is reconciled to war, There have been no “demonstra- tions,” no flag waving, no music hall patriotism; but there is apparent among all classes a sober and grim determination, if the government de- !clares that the nation's interests and obligations require her to take up arms side by side with Russia and France, to see the business through to the bit- ter end. But One Culmination. The belief of the average man is that the existence of the whole of Europe as an armed camp, nervous, and jeal- ous, could have but one culmination, and if the hour for a general settle- ment has struck, there will be no flinching. » Navy Mobilized. The military situation stands where lit did last night. The mobilization of the naval forces has been completed, and the army is on a war footing, ex- cepting for the calling out of the ter- ritorials. The machinery for their mobilization requires only a word .to De set in motion. 2 Newspapers Keep Home News Secret The request of the war office that the English newspapers refrain from pub- lishing army and navy movements has met with a patriotic response. The London ~evening papers publish news concerning -almost" all the armies of Eyrope ‘except that of Great Britain and regarding the whereabouts of the| British fleet and the preparations of the British army they say nothing. There is a popular-belief that the fleet is in the neighhorhood of Flushing, m the North sea,but the truth is known only to the members of the govern- merit Harbors Protected. Dover and Shearness are virtually on a war basis and protective booms are ready to be drawn around at a moment’s notice, These and other harbors have been mined. The Calais and Ostend steam- ers are likely to be transferred to Folkstone from Dover. ~ War Council in Session. The war council of the British cab- inet is composed of Mr. Asquith, the Prime Minister; Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of state for foreign affairs; Viscount Haldane, Lord High Chancel- lor and Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. They are the ministers who directed the joint diplomati¢ and military policy of the country during the Agadir, crisis. They remained in conference on military matters after the last two cabinet meetings. Ulster Volunteers Ready to Fight. Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, announced today that a majority of the Ulster volunteers were ready for home service and that a large contingent were willing for ';1!1,)! service where they could be use- ul ‘Came Through Financial Crisis. While the London stock exchange is | closed f6r the first time in its_history by the threat of war and all the ex- jchanges in England and Scotland im- mediately shut their doors on learning of London’s action, there has been no financial panic. Nor have there been any important failures. The general feeling among the fin- anciers is that London has weathered 2 remarkable storm with great credit. The bank rate was doubled from four to eight per cent, but during the Cri- mean war it touched ten and stayed there for six weeks. Short loans to- day commanded. ten.and a half per cent. interest. People Wanted Gold. While nothing occurred like a run on banks there were symptoms which caused anxiety to everybody. Banks doing an ordinary commercial hys- iness refused demands to pay che ks with gold and paid partly in gold and partly in Bank of England notes. __Probably Suspend Banking Act. Teng lines of people had assembled at the Bank of England, when the bank opened, to get gold for rnotes, and many were turned away at closing time. It was expected that the bank- ing ‘act would be suspended. This would mean that the Bank of England wot“::’w‘;:; 'ng_lé:ompnelled to redeem its o gqld. Premier Asquith and Chancellor &.vid Lloyd George, with the governor 'of the Bank of England and - represbntatives of other banks held a confefence tonight however and decided that the suspension of the act was not _wecessary ‘at present. They woulg-“be prepared to. act, however, €never it was necessary. Holiday Breathing Spell. Fortnuately Monday is a legal hol- iday and the banks would not opogn in the ordinary course, which gives 2 breathing spell.

GERMANY ACTIVE ALONG FRENCH FRONTIER. Forts Are Armed—Automobiles Con- fiscated —_ Locomotive abled Against Returning to France. Paris, August 1.—The French cabl- net couneil deliberated until early this morning, discussing the crisis prospective measures. President Poin- care signed three decrees, the first extending. until August 31 the terms for the payment of obiigations becom- ing due within that time; the second prohibiting the export of grains and other products of the soil: and the third abolishing duties on the import- atlon of farinaceous products. A brief formal statement, setting forth the action of the .council, was given out, and a review of the de- velopments to date was sent out by a -semi-officlal mews - agency. this communication, after refering to the extreme gravity of the crisis, says: Penetrated French Territory. “It is learned that since July 25. up to today, Germany has armed its forts and concentrated to the east of Thion- ville (Diedenhofen) and Metz a num- ber of army corps.

Berlin, July 31.—The German em- peror made a war speéch to the people of Berlin today, in which he express- ed the hope that if he was unable to induce his opponents to malntain peace he would wield the sword and show his enemies what it means to provoke Germany. The emperor has summoned the Reichstag to meet on Tuesday at the iToyal palace and hear the decision of the emperor and the Bundesrath, and, if necessary, to vote a war credit. Five thousand persons | sembled in front of the palace flnte this afternoon and cheered the emperor and the empire. _During the | demonstration Emperor William ap- peared in a window and addressed his subjects as follows: “A fateful hour has fallen for Ger- many. Envious peoples evervwhere are compelling us to our just defence.

To continue longer to bear the bur- den, in the opinion of the bankers whose influence determines the course of events in the street, would have been hazardous in the extreme. After a period of hesitation and ex- treme nervous tension, it was decided ten minutes before the hour set for the beginning of business today that the exchange would not be opened. That action closed the last great mar ket of the worid. All the other Amer- ican exchanges quickly followed suit. table near an open window, itors of L thrust through. Shot “in Back of Head.
