London, July 28.—The announce-
ment of a declaration of war by
Austra-Hungary on Servla came al-
most Immediately after Germany and
Austria had notified Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign minister, of
their refusal to join a mediation con-
ference. It is assumed that efforts
of European nations will now be
directed toward localizing the area
of hostilities.
The actual cause of Austra-Hun-
gary's decision was Servia's reply to
Austra's ultimatum demanding that
Servia stop the circulation of Pan
Servian propaganda on Austrian ter-
ritory, and punish the Servians con-
cerned i nthe assassination of Arch-
duke Ferdinand. Servia'B replies
were regarded by Austria as "un-
satisfactory" and "filled wljh a spir-
it of dishonesty."

Loudon, July 28.—Refusal by Ger-
many and Austro-Hungary to partic-
pate in a mediation conference on
the Austro-Servlan conflict, reports
of the rapid movement of Austro-
Hungarian troops, and a persistent
downward trend of the European
stock are the outstanding develop-
ments of the European situation.
Preparation for war proceeded to-
day on all sides. Even England's
battle squadrons have been mobil-
ized, and it is said they are ready
f.o slip their anchors at a moment's
noticc. -
The German admiralty has ordered
the concentration of the German
fleet in home waters.
According to reports, Germany's
refusal was couched In termB of
sympathy with Sir Edward Grey's
proposed conference to bring about
peace, but contended the conference
would place Austro-Hungay In the
invidious position of appearing like
the Balkan states before a European
tribunal to explain her actions, and
therefore would likely Increase rath-
er than decrease the difficulties of
„the situation.
Apparently authentic reports cur-
rent here' assert Russia has been
given assurances that Austro-Hun-
gary has no intention of annexing
3evian territory. If true, it is
thought this would help efforts to
localize the war, should it occur.
No official confirmation of reports
of hostilities between Austra and
Servia have been received.

Vienna, July 28.—Official notifi-
cation of the declaration of war was

grin troops are reported at Priboj,

al Carranza will stand by the decree

| regarding financial transactions made
by Huerta again was indicated here
Sunday when his attention wa4
called to a report that pust before
resigning and leaving the country
Huerta received half a million dol-
lars from the Rothschilds, giving in
return a grant- of a vast area in
Lower California at a nominal price
of one cent an acre. Carranza dc
clared no such grant of public lands
would be recognized and recalled
that leading bankers of the world
had been so notified.
It was reported here Sunday that
Sir Christopher Craddock, British
admiral, upon his visit to Carranza,
I demanded all concessions made by
' Huerta to Lord Cowdray and other
British citizens be ratified by con-
stitutionalists and that Carranae re-
turned a positive refusal.
Foreign consuls paid another visit
to Carranza early Monday in which
a discusnion of prospects took place.
Carranza told them there should be
no pproval of the wholesale reprisals
on the pnrt of the constitutionalists.
Carranza visited the Panuco oil
fields Sunday, spending nearly the
entire dav there. Candido Aguilar,
governor of the state of Vera Cruz,
in which Qie fields are situated, ac-
companied him. Tho two discussed
the protection tax on oil but an-
nounced no decision.
Carranza, it was announced, plans
to use thousands of federal soldiers
in repairing the railroad tracks that
have been destroyed during thi
revolution. As fast as the federal
bands are disarmed Carranza plans
to distribute them throughout the
country in this work. He hopes
thus to give them employment and
also scatter them throughout the
country so there will be little danger
of their mobilization againt him in
case of a counter revolution.
ti was announced the propbset1
trip of Mrs. Carranza and a num-
ber of wives and daughters of con
had been postponed until Monday

THEN-
-and
NOW
One hundred and eight years ago
today the first step was taken to-
ward establishing the foreign mis-
sionary movement. On this day five
students of Williams college gather-
ed In a grove near the college to
hold an open air meeting. The day
was hot end oppressive. In the
midst of the meeting a lightning
bolt flashed accross the sky, an-
nouncing the approach of a thunder
storm. Hurledly collecting their
belongings, the students sought shel-
ter beneath a neighboring haystack.
Here they continued their dlBCus-
slons while the storm raged.
Shouting to make himself under-
stood above the thunder, the young
leader, Samuel J. Mills, proposed
that they organize "to spread the
gospel among the heathens." That
was the first step. Two years later
Mills organized tihe "Society of
Brethren," requiring each of the
five members thereof to solemnly
dedicate his life as a missionary.
Public opinion being against ~nis-
slons, the organization was kept
secret and Its constitution was drawn
up In cipher. Six years had passed
since the historic "HaystAck meet-
ing, whose location Is now marked
with a monument, before the first
five missionaries, four of whom were
accompanied by their wives, Balled
from Philadelphia for India upon the
flrBt American evangelistic campaign
to foreign lands.
More than 8,000 missionaries of
both sexes from the United States,
and 38,000 native converts acting as
missionaries, are teaching the Christ-
ian faith throughout the world. They
have converted 1,600,000 men, women
and children in all lands, and are
bringing 75,000 more Into the fold
every year. Over 1,300,000 are learn-
ing the ways of Christianity in that
30,000 colleges, theological seminar-
ies, training and Sunday schools
that have been established by Amer-
ican missionaries. The modern mis-
sionary Is not only a spiritual ad-
viser, but undertakes to cure physi-
cal Ills as well. In the 600 hospitals
and free dispensaries established in
foreign lands, it is estimated that
3,000,000,000 treatments have been
given by the 400 male and female
doctors making up the foreign mis-
sionary medical staff. In times of
famine they distribute huge sums of
money. Tho expenses of this vast
campaign are enormous: but no
country Is as liberal as the United
States. Last year the American peo-
ple contributed nearly $17,000,000 to
promote the work, while all nations
are spending about $38,000,000 to
Bupport their 24.000 Christian and
112.000 native missionaries who have
gathered over 6,000.000 adherents In
the faith.
