Socialists here were doing their utmost today to or ganize a European general strike as a means of preventing war. It was acknowledged that the antl militarists were taken by surprise In Austria, and that probably not much could be accomplished there or In Ser via at present; Their emissaries were busy, how ever. In Germany, France, Italy, Rus sia and England, and leaders of the movement " expressed - themselves as hopeful that they would succeed in rendering a widespread conflict ln possible, after which they said they would direct their efforts toward ter minating the Austro-Servian struggle. In Italy, they boasted, messages from Italian cities indicated with some appearance of accuracy that tho government would " be over thrown if It joined Germany and Aus tria in the field. Demonstrations in Trance. Formidable anti-war demonstrations occurred last night also in Paris and other French cities, and in- the French chamber of deputies strong declara tions were made by socialist members against Gallic interference: in the sit uation. At the same time Russia was vehemently . urged not to intervene in Servia's behalf on the ground that, if it did so, conditions generally would be rendered infinitely worse and Ser via would not benefit. It was owned that Germany seemed to be war mad. Still, the hope was ex pressed that' much would be accom plished In the. next few days and it was pointed out that there had si ready, been some anti-military sent! ment developed.
