Austro-Servlan Situation Threat eis to Throw Great Powers of Europe Into War

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPHLXXXIII? No. 176

Some Hope Remains ofAverting War in Europe

Involving Many NationsFeeling in Powers Is Becoming Acute and Authorities De-

clare They May Not Be Able to Prevent Clash; Rus-

sia Prepares to Meet Austria in Battle; Other Coun-tries Ready For War but Hope For Peace

London, .July 27.?Glimmers of liope flickered In tlie darkened skies of

European polities to-day and the wish was general that the efforts of the

great European powers to avert a clash of arms which mlclit Involve many

nations would he successful.While all the powers were preparing for possible eventualities, their

statesmen, with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, at theirhead, were endeavoring to bring together the governments at issue with a

view to mediation..At the Servian legation In Ijondon the view was held that some im-

provement had taken place in the situation and this was attributed to tlio

Influence exercised by Russia. Alex Georgevltch, the first secretary, said:."We have complied with everything tliat does not Impair our sovereign

rights. We hope that Austria-Hungary, in the interests of peace, will rec-ognize that consideration is due to an Independent state and so avert war.

If. however, Austria-Hungary wants war. she will have seen that we are pre-

pared to accept it in the interests of the dignity of our state.'.'The fact that Austrian ambassadors abroad were willing to discuss the

controversial points with foreign governments, and especially Russia, led to

belief that an outlet for the deadlock would be found.The stock markets of 1-ondon and the European capitals still displayed

a panicky feeling, although it was not as pronounced as on Saturday.

The German government has expressedregret to the Russian representativeat the demonstration which cfecurredon Saturday night.

Contrary to rumors in circulationGermany apparently is taking no mili-tary movements for the crisis. Ger-man mobilization arrangements are soexcellent that no preliminaries are re-quired, but the executives of the fed-

erated States are hastening to the cap-itals in order to be prepared for all

eventualities.

Foreigners to OrganizeRegiment in New York

By Associated Press

New York, July 27. ?The one topic

ofconversatlon in the Hungarian Colo-

nies in the upper and lower East Side

is the possibility of war. A strong

sentiment to return to Hungary has

sprung up and men and women de-cleare they would leave at once if newsof a foreign foe threatening HungaryIs received here.

A committee already has been or-ganized to form A.volunteer regimentfrom this city.

Servians, too, are anxiously await-ing news of the Impending war cloudland apparently are as ready to re-I turn to their native country as are the

of the European situation was re-; fleeted In an official dispatch from St.

Germany Endeavors toSettle Threatened War

By Associated PressBerlin. July 27.?Germany's efforts

are being directed to making the otherpowers see the wisdom of adopting I'Germany's view that the conflict be- !'tween Austria and Servia is one that j'concerns only those two States, in or- jder that the peace of Europe may bemaintained.

"It needs little reading between thelines to discern the warning of a Euro-pean war if another State attempts to |interfere," a thoroughly posted Ger- 'man diplomat said to-day. "The ef- !forts which the pence loving powersore making or planning must be ad- jdressed to St. Petersburg where it is |possible they will be of some avail. |'It is useless to approach Vienna. Any 1attempt to deflect Austria from her!settled course is doomed to failure." j,

Emperor Williams is on his way torPottsdam. Tt is believed his influence ] 1in the present crisis as in the critical!'days of the Morocan conferences, Willi'be thrown into the scale with peace, jIt is understood that he will go direct!to Pottsdam In order to avoid the jenormous demonstration which other- jwise would be evoked by his arrival;in Berlin. A courier with the latestdispatches left last night to meet the |Emperor at Kiel.

Summer Broken lTpThe summer season at Carlsbad and

other resorts have been broken up by ,the Austrian mobilization. Hundreds!of Americans have fled the court in |

panicky haste and have come into jGermany so as not to bo caught inthe whirlpool of war.

The military took possession of all \u25a0the railroads in Austria yesterday and jcancelled the regular schedules. Thelast passenger train from Carlsbad jreached Berlin last night with a large jnumber of American fugitives, who 1brought tales of hotels, bathhouses and jshops closing, because the able-bodied Jproprietors and employes had beencalled to their colors. The cab service!was demoralized by mobilization.

The government is making earnest iefforts to localize the conflict and pre- jvent the outbreak of a general Euro-pean conflagration, for which the In-tervention of Russia will be the signal. |Representations were made to at least Itwo European capitals to induce the |powers to exert pressure on Russia;'to preserve neutrality but with what isuccess remains to be seen.

No Olliciul NewsThe foreign office, itwas stated, had I

received no official news regarding jRussia's attitude and officials were not!willing to credit private reports of IRussia's alleged military movements, j

Pending authoritative confirmation jthe hope was expressed that Russia jwould not embark on such a calami- itous course.

The Russian embassy here is guard-1ed by the police in order to preventdemonstrations against the nation. I

Hardscrabble

By September 1 the new Front streetsubway at Mulberry street will likelybe paved; curbed, complete for service.

While no date will be definitely fixedas yet by the contracting officials, thejob is being pushed as rapidly as pos-sible. and the chances are that if theweather doesn't interfere, the first ofthe two underbridge ways will be inshape to permit the passage of trafficin another month.

The grading has been practicallyfinished the entire width of the high-way and the curbstones were unloadedon Saturday, so that before the endof this week thev curbing will likelyhave been set. The placing of the con-crete foundation and the surfacingwith asphalt willfollow in order.

As soon as the street is finished therestoration of the stretch of slopingpark land north of the bridge willbegin, as It will be a part of the con-tractor's job to put the lawns into theoriginal shape. The construction ofthe sewer inlets has been practicallycompleted and work in the great tun-nel for the concrete sewer just southof the bridge is being pushed ahead.

Gaps in Dam NarrowingWork on the other city improve-

The piers have been set en-tirely across the river with the excep-tion of a couple of gaps that approxi-mate probably 200 feet. The slabsthat compose the sloping face of thedam are yet to be placed for severalhundred feet on the eastern side.

With a view to facilitating this workas the construction nears the eastern Ishore the Frank N. Skene Contracting 'Company has erected a great derrick jalong the river walls a short distance |,above Dock street.

New York, July 27. The localstock market opened amid scenes of \u25a0great excitement to-day. Conditionsin Continental Europe growing out ofthe Servian crisis caused severe losseson foreign exchanges.

Canadian Pacific, which yielded over ,6 points in London, opened here witha loss of 3Mi points. Declines of 1 to2V6 points were recorded in the initialtrading by St. Paul.

Leading bankers were in communi-cation with their Kuropean corre-spondents and the tenor of advices re-ceived from thenv, offered little groundfcr encouragement. It was the gen-eral opinion, however, that meanswould be found to localize any conflict

Prohibition Candidateand Amendment Meet

Defeat at PrimariesDallas, Texas, July 27. ?With more

than three-fourths of the total votecast in the Democratic primaries elec-tion on Saturday returned here, it wasregarded as certain that James E.Ferguson, of Temple, anti-prohibition-ist, had been nominated for Governorby a majority of perhaps 40,000 overThomas S. Ball, of Houston, ex-Con-gressman, chosen by a ProhibitionState convention to make the race. Italso appeared certain that the demandfor submission of a State-wide prohi-bition amendment to the State con-stitution had been defeated by a ma-jority of 30,000. Democratic nomina-tions in Texas are equivalent to elec-tion.

Returns also showed that no pro-.hibitionlst on the State ticket who hadlan anti-prohibitionist opponent had

jbeen nominated, except as to the two! Congressmen-at-large, where the re-sult is in doubt.

BRYAN TAKES £SOOOF DAUPHIN CASH

FOR 2 LECTURESInteresting Financial Information

About the Secretary's Lec-turing Tours

William Jennings Bryan, Secretaryof State, left here yesterday afternoonfor Washington with over SSOO ofgood hard Dauphin county money asthe result of two Chautauqua lecturesdelivered in the upper end of thecounty. How much he received overand above the SSOO is not known, butit was probably handsome. Five hun-dred dollars he got anyway, accordingto upper end people and when this isadded to about SSOO collected inMechanicsburg last week and largesums from Lancaster and Franklincounty towns indicates that he is doing

j well in this part of Pennsylvania.Mr. Bryan came to this city yester-

J day morning from the national capi-I tal. He does not mind riding in sleep-ing cars in hot weather when out onthe circuit and his lectures were ap-propriate to Sunday. They were de-livered at the chautauquas in Millers-burg and Lykens and were those won-derful talks which have given the Ne-braskan a world-wide reputation. Hewas in rare form and his great audi-ences were delighted with his senti-japnts and the splendid manner inWnich they were presented. Beingpremier of the Wilson administration,the enunciator of a foreign policy thatpasseth understanding and the expon-ent of peace and the unfermentedjuice of the grape have not dimmedthe oratorical ability of the man fromthe Platte.

What Hp GetsAfter Mr. Bryan had hastened back

to Washington on an afternoon trainthe Democratic State headquartersgave out a statement showing justwhat the $12,000 Secretary of Stategets for trotting the circuit. Thisstatement says:

'?From a high authority In the Chau-tauqua association it was learned to-day exactly what Mr. Bryan receivesfor his Chautauqua lectures. His con-tract is the most liberal of all theChautauqua speakers, It is said, requir-ing the association to take no riskswhatever. Mr. Bryan receives thefirst $250 taken in at the gate in singleadmission tickets at the cession atwhich he speaks. He gets no part ofthe season ticket sale. Since the usualadmission is fifty cents, Mr. Bryanmust draw 500 listeners in addition tothe regular chautauqua season ticketholders. If he draws less he gets less.Above the first $250 he shares thegate receipts of the session equallywith the association.

By Associated Pres\Dublin. Ireland, July 27.?The city

of Dublin and the greater part ofCatholic Ireland were to-day In a stateof great excitement over yesterday'sconflict between the regular troops ofthe British army and the Irish Nation-alists. which resulted In the killing offour persons and the wounding ofmany others, forty of whom were stillin hospitals in a serious condition.

A crowd, find-ing that soldiers had been ordered tobarracks, attacked the royal barrackswhere the Borderers are stationed andclamored for the soldiers to come out.Finally the mob kicked down a gateof the barracks and fired a couple ofshots, upon which bugles were sound-ed. The polife came on the scene andthe crowd was dispersed.

most serious view of the affair andwill demand reparation from the gov-ernment.

Here Are FactsOne of the great Advertising

agencies In the country writes:"There is no doubt in our

mind about the efficiency ofnewspaper advertising. Thefact is demonstrated by thegoodly proportion of our busi-ness which goes Into the news-papers. Certainly there Is noquicker way of getting resultsfrom advertising than throughthe newspapers, and while thenewspaper advertising In anyone locality Is local In itself, Itonly takes an extension of thatto bring about patlonal adver-tising of the most effective kind.

"Another extremely importantside of newspaper advertising Isthe vigorous local backing itgives to a campaign In nationalpublications. The best exam-ple we know of this is in theautomobile business."
