(United Press Laaaad Wire.)
Berlin, July 29. It was learned from the highest sources her
tonight that a break between Germany and Russia was impending.
' The Impression was general that negotiations between the kaiser and
the czar for localizing the Austro-Servian war had failed.
Officialdom was extremely pessimistic. Under secretaries and at
taches of the foreign office remained at their desks and all the offi
cials were working tonight. It was admitted in official circles that
the crisis was growing more desperate hourly.
From the air of expectancy at the foreign, office. It was believed
that a definite reply had been received from Russia to the kaiser's
representations and that 'it was being withheld, or else that the
German embassy in St. Petersburg had warned the German govern
ment to expect an unfavorable , answer.
The government received tonight official confirmation of reports
of a partial Russian army mobilization on the Austrian and German
frontiers. The kaiser called his chief advisers into conference with
him.
Berlin, July 29. Unless Russia ceases' its military-activities a
German army mobilization order will be Issued at the end of 24
hours,; a high official told the United Press bere tonight.
This stand was regarded virtually as an ultimatum, fixing a time
limit within which the czar was required to reply.

Washington, July 29. Secretary of
State Bryan was informed' today by a
representative of the Mexican govern
ment that Provisional President Carba

peace in Mexico would be restored.
A message to this effect was re

that General Villier and Justice Al

Castellot Interpreted this to mean
(hat a definite understanding had been

Brussels. July 29. 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.
In Russia, it was stated, efforts
were being made for a renewal of last

Special dispatches from St. Peters

"This is a moment of extreme grav

thing possible is being done to circum

War Fleet Bails.
That the British war fleet had

Dispatches received here late today
from St. Petersburg declared that offi

from Belgrade of the shelling of Serv
ian troops by an Austrian warship,
and also of the dynamiting-of a bridge
over the Save river by Servians.

It was admitted that tho possibilities
of diplomacy were practically ex

had been received from the csar to the

an unfavorable response was received
from him the chance of a satisfactory

Congratulations were showered both

story which gained wide circulation
Just after Calmette was killed was
that Calllaux was showing a disposi

that he was likely soon to be a divorce
