London. 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.
Their final repulse was so complete
that they left their (load on the field.

Germany had declared war against
Russia orders were immediately is

between German and French armies
falling on Belgium soil.

throughout all of Great Britain is
most Intense. Anti-German demon
strations have already taken place In

real trouble in the provinces before
the Germans there can flee the country.

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

create serious trouble on her northern

mobilization will take about three
weel.s.
