Nothing had been heard tonight from -the Kronprinzessin Wilhelm, the North German Lloyd steamship which left port suddenly last night laden with coal and carrying, it was thought, a big gun on her forward deck. Her des- tination was reported as being Bre- men, but incoming vessels later re- ported that theé German ship turned south after passing Sandy Hook. It was thought that her mission was to supply the German cruiser with fuel The North German Lloya steamer Barbarossa, lying at a_pler near_the one from which the Kromprinz Wil- helm departed unannounced, was be- ing similarly coaled and provisioned today.

The reason the Olympic hurried into port, lights out and several hours .n advance of her arriving time. was that the British cruiser Essex had warned her master by wireless “to 100k out 1or nemy.” 8 St Herbert J. Haddock of the Olympic said he received a code com- munication from the Essex and imme- diately ordered full speed ahead. On the last day’s run the giant liner aver- aged 23 1-4 miles an hour, and Cap- tain Haddock was emphatic in his praise of his éngine room force.

Aug. 4 —Great Britain de- olared war on Germany tonight. The momentous degision of the British governmeni, for waich the rhole world had been waiting came: before the ex- piration of the time limit set by Great Brain in her ultimatum ‘o Germauny demanding a satisfactory reply on the subject of Belgium neutrality. Germany’s reply was the summary rejection of the request that Belgian neutrality should be respected. British Ambassador Receives Pass- ports, The British ambassador at Berlin thereupon receive his passports and the Dritish government notified Ger- many that a state of war existed be- tween the two countries. The British foreign office has is- sued the following statement: England Declaration of War. “Owing to the summary rejection by the German govenment in Tequest made by His Britannic majesty’s gov- ernment that the neutrality of Beigium siould be respected, his majesty’s am- bassador at Derlin has received hi: passports and his majesty's govern- of the Empire at a meeting today de- cided to appeal to all women's organ- izations for subscriptions towards placing a hospital ship at the disposal of the British admiralty.

Brussels, rmany in her note to Bélguim declared that if Bel- guim adopted a hostile attitude asainst the German troops and put difficulties in the way of their advance Germany would be obliged to consid- er Belgium as an enemy.

This line of defence runs, broadly speaking from Verdun to Nancy, to Epinal, to Belfort, and to Besancon. Each one of these ¢ities is the center of a group of fortifications extending north, west ang southeast and all facing the Ger- man border. Each has its outposts and its flanking protection, and the line is said to be virtually continuous for the greater part of the entire dis- tance between Luxemburg and the Swiss border. Behind this line of France has a second line of defence, broadly speaking, running parallel from Rheims to Chalons and to Ver- dun, and from Chalons to Langres, to Difon an dto Becancon. This second line of protection is from eighty to 120 miles from paris, and the fist frontier _line of fortifications is, roughly ‘speaking, from 140 to 220 miles from the Irench capital.

Withheld Pending a General Elec- tion—American Military and Naval Forces Not to Be Withdrawn From Vera Cruz. = Washington, ugust 4—Refusal by General Carranza to accept the terms suggested by the Carbajal government for peace in Mexico did not meet with the approval of administration official here. The conditions set forth by the Carbajal delegates were regarded in government circles as fair and not Jif- ficult of fuffillment if the constitu- | tionalists sincerely desired peace and the recognition of the powers of the world. With Carranza’s refusal to arrange for a peaceful tramsition of the gov- ernment, recognition by the United States will be withheld pending a general election. Instead of recogniz- ing the provisional goyernment which would have been set up immediately by, peace ful agreement of the fac tions, the American government will now wait for a permanent government to be established, and American mil- itary and navel forces will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz until a stable administration is in power. Secretary Bryan declined to com- ment on the dispatches from Saitillo telling of the failure of the peace ne- gotiations. Reuorts that General Villa had proclalmed his indpendence from Carranza did pot surprise administra- tion officials who previously had re- ceived reliable intimations of this kind, That Vila might consider terms of Deace offered by Carbajal was con- sidered likely in many quarters here, and a new alignment of the Mexican factions was suggested. IMPORTANT SESSION OF MEXICAN CONGRESS Discuss Turning Over Government Unconditionally. Mexico City, Aug. 4.—Provisional President Carbajal, members of con- gress and representatives of the fed- eral army are in session at the na- tional palace discussing the turning over of the government to the con- stitutionalists unconditionally. The plan is to have Generals Obre- £on and Gonzales of the constitution- &I ‘army form a temporary military government. The exodus. of the old regime towara Vera Cruz has commenced. At 7.30 o'clock this evening the fate of Mexico City, so far as its immediate future is concerned, was still in the hands of a council of war which had been in session for several hours. One hundred and twelve gemerals of the federal army were discussing the ad- visability of evacuating the capital and permitting—the unhindered entry of the constitutionalists. Thers were long and heated debates over the best methods of the transfer of the gov- ernment and the session promised to run late into the night. Hundreds of army offices for hours have crowded the courtyards of the national palace and the department of war, awaiting the decision which may seal their fate. GEN.
