AMERICANS LOOK
AFTER AUSTRIANS
LONDON, Aug. 33. As soon as
tho declaration of war by England
on Austria-Hungary became publicly
known a largo number of Austrian
and Hungarian residents In London
who wens liable to bo called upon fe
rn Hilary service, applied to Robert P.
Skinner, the American consul general
for enrollment. Tho clerks of tbo
consulate general at once began
stamping the men's military books
and this will be regarded by the Aus
trian authorities as evidence that tho
holders were ready to perform their
duty.
Ia accordance with previous in
structions received from Secretary of
State llryan, Consul General Skinner
has notified tbo Americas consuls
throughout the British Isles to take
oier the Austrian consulates.
LONDON, Aug. 13. Tho war of
tho nations o( Kurope toilay became
further regularised with tho formal
declaration of war on Auslrla-Hun-gary
by Great Britain and Franco
The strength of the Hrltlsh fleet In
tho Mediterranean Is unknown as no
movements of wnrshlps havo been
mado public since the, first mittimnir
of hostilities. It Is known however, I
that Franco has tho hulk of her fleet J
In the Mediterranean, so that no np-'
prehension exists here as to tho snfo-.
ty of trade routes through that sc.i
now that It seems certain that tho.
German cruisers Goebcn and llrcslau
arc out of action.
Sen near of Gormnin
Tho official press bureau describ
ing today the position of British
cruisers In the Atlantic and else
where, expressly urges traders of all
nations doing business with Great
Britain to send their cargoes confi
dently and boldly to sea In British
or neutral ships in all directions ex 1
cept the North Sea, where, owing to
mines and tho probability of naval
operations, no guarantco can et be
given, although as announced jester-
day, passenger services are again
running.
In the field of land operations, lit
tle change has occurred since, yester
day.
It must bo remembered In consid
ering all the published reports of
military (operations that these des
patches emanate almost exclusively
from the side of the allied forces of
Belgium and France's armies.
News All One Sided
Nothing, whatever, comes from tho
German and Austrian side relating tt
military movements nor disposition
and only occasionally a brief Item
describing the result of past engage
ments is mado public from those
quarters. The strict censorship ex
ercised over the wholo field makes
it difficult to estimate the value of
the nows received.
Tho struggte for the possession of
the Belgian forts surrounding Llego
has re-commenced and reports of ar
tillery and cavalry engagements aro
taken as Indicating the possible be
ginning of a great battle on Belgian
soli.
