Events In the European crisis developed with startling rapidit) and the general war, which has been the apprehension of European states men tor generations, Is apparently under way. Germany took the tnltla tive and declared war on Russia when the czar's government declined tc comply with the German request to cease mobilization. Germany also delivered an ultima tum to France asking that country to define what attitude she would as sume In case of a war between Ger many aud Russia, but the Kaiser's hand apparently was forced by France's action In calling for mobili tation of her army and the German army has Invaded France without a declaration of.war. One German force crossed the French frontier near the village ol Cirey, between Nancy and Strassburg, and another German detachment, probably .4he Twenty-ninth Infantry, invaded the grand duchy of Luxem burg, neutral territory between Bel , gium aud Germany, and continued Its march on the French fortified town of Longwy. A dispatch from Brussels said there was good reason to believe that this force entered France. The German force of 20.000 men, which came Into France near Cirey, which is 40 miles from Nancy, Is re ported to have been repulsed with heavy losses. London. Sir Edward Grey has an nounced mobilization of the British army and navy. War by-England against Germany was decided on by the British cabinet, according to high government offi cials. The decision was said to be directly due to the kaiser's disregard of Belgium's neutrality. The British ambassador at Berlin demanded that it be respected. Ger many refused. The upshot was a meeting of the British cabinet, at which, it was stated on high authority Jt was agreed that hostilities were Inevitable. The most Germany was willing to concede to Belgium, it was understood, was to respect the latter's neutrality If it would permit German troops to use its railroads in crossing Belgian territory on their way to invade France. This proposition, it was an nounced by the British foreign office, Belgium promptly rejected. TRAIN IS DESTROYED : RY FRENCH AVIATOR C Paris. Hurling bombs from a soar- fug aeroplane, a French aviator was reported as having done heavy dam age to the German forces at Longwy. Among his exploits it was said he destroyed a German armored train. A Paris message told of Roland Gar- ros' sacrifice of his life in bringing down a German dirigible Sunday, just after it had crossed the frontier from Alsace-Lorraine into France, killing very one of its crew of 25. The dirigible, a big Zeppelin, was aid to have been scouting. Garros, as soon as he sighted it, swooped down upon it, the story ran, from a height of 1000 feet, running into it with his machine at full force. In stantly, It was stated, the dirigible burst Into flames, and with the aero plane still entangled in its wreckage, dropped like a plummet. The victims' corpses were said to have been charred beyond recogni tion. Another Cernian Zeppelin was re ported lost near the French village of Toul at dusk Sunday night. Like the other air craft, it appears to have been scouting. A French aviator, seeing it, made an Immediate ascent with an aeroplane to a height much greater than the Zeppelin, and rained shots upon it. His fire proved ao effective that the dirigible soon crashed to the ground and all on board were killed. Their number was not given, but was supposed to have been between 20 and 30, the average com plement of airships of the Zeppelin type. The aviator who brought It down, however, lost control of his own ma chine during the fight, fell with his machine and was dashed to pieces. Kaiser Wllhelm, emperor of Ger many, who declared war on Russia and invaded Franc without declaration. Paris. That overwhelming defeat marked an attempt Sunday by a divi sion of Uhlans, Germany's crack cav alry, to capture Petit Croix, France, was made known here. As ,ho Germans advanced the French garrison opened on them with machine guns. The cavalry charged repeatedly, but each time was beaten back by a murderous hail of steel Jack eted buliets.

The Dominion of Canada has for mally offered 60,000 troopa to Great Britain. v Sweden, Norway, Belgium and Hol land Imitate Italy's example by main taining neutrality. Communication between the na tions of Europe except by the govern ments, has ceased. England is Isolat ed by the severance of all wire con nection with the continent. Germany's declaration of wai against Russia has provoked in the Russian capital a wonderful demon stration of patriotic enthusiasm.

The approaching general European clash may involve more than 31,000, 000 men. Trans-Atlantic traffic between New York and Europe Is virtually suspend ed.

Within a week the kaiser will have at hand at least $370,- 000,000 in gold and silver for the vast expenditures immediately necessary. Italy by proclaiming neutrality, has virtually separated from Germany and Austria, her partners in the triple al liance, although Bhe has put part of her troops under arms.

Located as she is, Bel gium plans to guard her frontier to prevent the centering of the fighting between German and French armies falling on Belgium soil.

The police have controlled all demonstrators up to the present, but it is feared there may be real trouble in the provinces before the Germans there can flee the country. William F. Massey, prime minister of New Zealand, has announced to parliament that the government pro posed to offer the services of an ex peditionary force to the Imperial gov ernment if events necessitated. Servia, the original cause of the up heaval, seems to have been almost lost sight of. The Austrlans, accord ing to reports from Nish, have virtual ly ceased operations against Servia In order to meet the greater danger In Russia. The plan of the German emperor, according to military observers, is to vanquish or attempt to vanquish France before Russia will be able to create serious trouble on her northern frontier. It is supposed that Russian mobilization will take about three weel.s. 1 JacVton Fair Set Medford.
