(Sn-ijil 1 The In ternational crisis so far has had the effect of causing the majority of thou sands of Americans now In Paris to abandon trips eastward, but only In a few instances have Americans become ao frightened as to book passage home Immediately. The Oregonian correspondent called to day on all tourist and steamship agent, banks and express companies and found an entire absence of panic so far as Americans are concerned. But at the consulate and embassy hun dreds of travelers are .-eekinj; informa tion. There are about 100 callers a day now at the consulate compared to 60 on ordinary days. Tno Qnratlona Asked. For the majority the first question Is: "la It safe for us to go into Ger many or Austria?" The second question is: "Can we re main in Paris three or four weeks without placing our chances to return to America In Jeopardy?" The consulate and the diplomatic of ficials not having any news of a defi nite character can only point out that In case of war the chances of getting home would be slim. In such a case the only boats leaving French ports for America would be four small ships of the American Line. At the German steamship offices and also at the French line It is said that In case of an outbreak all boats would be taken immediately into government service. All steamship agents say the have many Inquiries, but only In a lew cases are they shoving ahead sailing dates. All boats are crowded normally from now until October. At the em bassy the majority of callers are per sons traveling on business who desire passports. Gravity Not Realised. The great Inconvenience to Ameri cans on account of the situation Is at the banks, many of which refuse any thing but their n paper. This Is also the c-ze at Cook's, and in consequence many persons without letters of credit or express company checks are In an embarrassing position until they can arrange for the remission of funds. Most members of the American Chamber of Commerce are marking time quietly, many expressing the be lief that the situation can be adjusted, but one American banker. referrJng to the absence of panicky feelings on the part of American travelers, said: "I don't believe they realize the gravity of the situation."

PETERSBURG. July 19. A great patriotic demonstration took place on the Nevsky Prospect late today. A procession was formed, and, with ban ners flying, marched to the Servian legation, where there were speeches, singing and cheering. Thence the procession moved to the French and British embassies, where similar scenes of enthusiasm were en acted, the crowds increasing in size. The cadets of the naval school were promoted today to the rank of officers. In addressing them, the Emperor said: "I have given orders that you should be Incorporated in the navy In view of the serious events through which Russia Is passing. During your serv ice as officers do not forget what I say to you: Trust In God and have faith In the glory and greatness of our mighty country." The maritime bureau has announced the closing of additional lights both In the Baltic and Black seas. By order of the Emperor the enforce ment of the legislative resolution re stricting the acquisition of real estate by companies and also restricting the Inclusion of Jews on directorates has been temporarily suspended. A striking demonstration occurred at the Kazan Cathedral, where a special service was held and prayers were of fered for victory to the Slav arms. The cathedral was thronged and the officiating priests, after the ceremony, presented to the Servian minister a fac simile of the Ikon of the Holy Virgin of Kazan for the Servian army. The minister handed the Ikon to officers Who are starting for the front tonight. The German and Austrian embassies mre guarded on all sides by detach ments of police, and nobody Is allowed to step on the adjacent footpaths for fear of hostile attempts. A confident feeling prevails here of Great Britain's support. Germany's at titude Is regarded as Incomprehensible, except on the assumption that she Is anxious for a trial of strength at the present moment. At Odessa patriotic processions marched through the streets today bearing the portraits of Emperor Nicholas and the Kings of Servla and Montenegro and cheering for Servla, France and Great Britain. An imperial ukase. Issued by the Em peror tonight, calls to the colors an Immense number or reservists. The men called out are: First All the reservists of 2S whole governments and of 71 districts In 14 other governments. Second Part of the reservists of 9 districts of four governments. Third The naval reservists In 64 districts of II Russian governments and one Finnish government. Fourth The time-expired cossacks of the territories of Don Kuban, Terek, Astrahan, Orenburg and Ural. Fifth A corresponding number of reservist officers of the medical and veterinary services, in addition to needful horses, wagons and transport services In the governments and dis tricts thus mobilized. Xote to Czar Momentous. ST. PETERSBURG. July 29. The Novoe Vremya says the Austrian Em peror has addressed a personal letter to Emperor Nicholas which is likely to have an important influence on the crisis. Moscow Holds Demonstration.

F. Ugarkovich, an Americanized Slav. Mr. I'garkovicn nas been a res ident of Portland for the past 14 years and is well posted on the present troubles. "I have talked to any number of my brothers concerning the Austria and Servian trouble, and with very few exceptions Servla is to receive our loyal support," said Ugarkovich yes terday, afternoon. "Perspnally, I be lieve that this trouble will be cleared up by the European powers before the trouble involves all In war. "There are millions of Slavs in Aus tria who will Join the ranks of Servla, and should this trouble extend for any period of time I am sure Austria will face defeat. Austria la relying upon the Slavonians to Join their ranks, but you can see clearly that should they do this they would be fighting against their own brothers, as there are mil lions of Slavs in the Servian army. "If this trouble assumes a serious aspect a mass meeting of all the Sla vonians In Portland will be held, pos sibly at the Swiss hall and steps will be taken for the transportation of sev eral hundred Slavs to the scene of thij trouble. We are not prepared to go to war at this time. Our race has not made the progress that It should have, but If It were possible to mo bilize the entire Slavonian population of Europe under one flag and not two or three, as Is the case now, we would be recognized as a strong nation. Our people are what the American people class as ignorant and the rulers of Austria have done everything to keep us down for they realize If we once got together we could make trouble. "The entire population of Austria is about 62,000,000. and of this number there are 10.000.000 Germans. 8,000.000 real Austrians, 3,000,000 Italians, and the remaining 31,000,000 comprise the Slavonian class. "The Servian clubs of this city re ceived word today from their Pitts burg headquarters to be prepared to send volunteers should their country call on them." Marko Vuyachich, a Servian, was the first of his countrymen to leave Port land for the scene of the trouble. He left last night. S. J. Marich, 249 Couch street, who left Portland several years ago to serve in the Servla-Turkey war. Is ready to enlist again. Marich is a naturalized American citizen and. dur ing his stay In the United States, has enlisted in the United States Army. "Just as soon as I think that real war exists between Servla and Aub trla I want to be one of the first to volunteer my services," said Marten yesterday after reading The Oregonian to a number of his countrymen. "I am inclined to believe that this trouble will be of short duration and should this not be the case it is a posi tive fact that all Europe will be In one great war. I think that there will be at least several hundred Slavs that are prepared to go to the assistance of the Servians In this trouble. It makes little difference whether a Slav comes from Austria itself, for the entire Sla vonian population is supporting Ser via ' Group after group of Servians could be seen yesterday gathered around one SACKS New and Second-Band Sacka for WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, ONIONS, POTATOES, HOPS.
