Rigid Censorship Applied to Prevent Germans Learning of War Moves. PARIS, July 30.—Every military Preparation short of mobilization has now been made in France, The prin- cipal railroad stations and all the signal boxes and ewitches were to- fay wunrded by troops, Rumors of the wildest nature were in circulation—that President Poin- eare, after an all-night session of war, had decided to call 800,000 men of the French army reserves, A strongly worded offictal dental of this was issued, together with assurances that drastic measures would be taken Against those spreading such reports, The Government is working in close co-operation with the principal news- pepers to reassure the public. At the same time a vell Is being kept over military operations as dur- ing the war in 1870, when the Ger- mans are sald to have obtained a great advantage from the informa- tion printed in the French press. President Poincare was in con- ference with members of his Ministry practically throughout the night. Premier Viviani, with Ministers Mes- simy and Gauthier, was called in consultation at 10 o'clock last night. ‘They remained for two hours. of Foreign Affairs, was recall ..

LONDON, July 30.—The direct cost of a general European war would not be less than $5,000,000,- 000, according to the estimates of leading financiers, and that direct cost would hardly be a beginning of the incalculable indirect cost, through waste, destruction and depression of business, The Boer war cost Great Britain $1,000,000,000 A general Euro- pean war, it is belleved, could not cost less than five times that amount. But this would be infinitesimal compared to the tremendous waste and losses from depression of business, As an illustration of what that would be two stocks are ted, In whivh there have been di preciations amounting to $51,000,- 000 on the mere threat of war, The has been. drop in Cana- tan Pacifie prices equivalent fo a shrinkage of $38,000,000 in values, while the drop in Rio Tintos prices fe an equivalent of value shrink- age amounting to $18,750,000. “Carry such shrinkages, or greater, through the enfire stock lint.” qne financier sald, “and one begin ty have a dim Idea of what the waste of war means.” At 3.30) A.

LONDON, July 30.—Watle Austrian | Invaders and Servian troops were. fighting the opening stages of their | war on Servian territory to-day European stateamen and rulers were engaged In what they regarded as the | almost hopeless task of trying to avert a general clash of the millions composing the armies of the great European powers, Sir Edward Grey, a central figure in the controversy owing to his| strong efforts to keep the powers of | the triple alliance and the triple| entente from flying at each other's | throats, was not able to give any cheering news when he spoke about | the crisis to the members of the House of Commons. The British | Foreign Secretary said: “I regret that I cannot say the sit- uation 1s less grave than it was yester- day. The outstanding facts are much the same, Austria-Hungary has begun her war against Servia and Russia has ordered a partial mobilization of | to corresponding steps being taken by the other powers, so far as our infor- mation goes, “We continue to pursue our one great object of preserving the Euro- pean peace, and for this purpose we are keeping tn close touch with the other Powers. In thus keeping in| touch we have, Tam glad to say, had no difficulties so far with the other Powers, although {t has not been pos: sible for those Powers to join in diplo- matic action as was proposed on Mon- day last.” Premier Asquith seized on tho situ- ation in Europe as a reason for post- poning the second reading of tho Irish Home Rule amending bill, Ho Germany Asked to Suggest a 3 |@ her troop.
