BRITISH POSITION IS DEFINED Attitade of Tarke.y Important Fac tor, as It la Believed Porte Has I nderslandlna with Germany. LONDON. Aug. 2. Events in the European crisis developed yesterday with startling rapidity. The German ultimatum to Russia, demanding that Russia cease the mobllUation of Hi army, expired at noon, and at 5:15 o'clock In the afternoon the German emperor signed a mobilization order. At 7:30 o'clock the German am bassador at St. Petersburg, Count von Pourtales, delivered a declara tion of war in the name of his gov ernment to the Russian government and the entire staff of the embassy immediately left St. Petersburg. Although, after the war-like speeches delivered by the German emperor and the imperial chancellor at Berlin on Friday, no other result could be expected, hopes that the dread event might be averated bad been raised by the intervention' of King George in St. Petersburg and the fact that the German Reichstag was not to be convene until Tues day Hence the actual declaration of war had not been expected for an other day or two. Die Is Caat. Now the die Is cat and Kuropo Is to bo plunged Into a general war. which has been the apprehension of European statesmen' for generations. It Is now tnly a question of how soon a state of actual war will exist between Germany and France. Late last night placards were posted In t'arie calling for general mobilisation and the German ambassador, although he had not been handed his passports, was preparing to leave the French capi tal. It Is not known at exactly what hour Germany's ultimatum to France, asking that country to define what atti tude it would assume in case of a war by Germany and Austria against Rus sia was to expire, but It Is believed it will not be long berore diplomatic re lations will be ruptured or war declared. The German emperor and his advisers have maintained to trie last that they mado supremo efforts for the sake of peace and that the last of the series of earnest appeals from Emperor William to Emperor Nicholas was a telegram re pudiating responsibility for the calamity threatening the world, on the ground while Germany was engaged In mediat ing with Arustrla-Hungary at Russia's request, Russia by Its general mobiliza tion was threatening Germany's safety. First Shots Fired. The first shots In the Russo-German war, were exchanged between patrols this afternoon near Prostken, 130 miles to the soutlirait of Konigsberg. The only redeeming feature of the darkest prospect with which Europe has been faced for half a century is that Italy has declared lta neutrality. But how long neutrality can be maintained Is an exceedingly debatable question. Great Britain's position already has been defined by Premier Asuulth In the British parliament He declared that she Is under no formal obligation to go to the assistance of France in the event of a European war. The British government has made full preparation in both serv ices for whatever may happen. The present position, therefore, is that Russia, France and Servla are arrayed on one aid , against Austria-Hungary and Germany on the other. How long the warfare will be confined to this plane, it Is Impossible to foretell; nor can It be foretold whether Belgium and Holland will be able to maintain their neutrality against their powerful neighbors or whether Great Britain will find herself compelled to send an expeditionary force to attempt to preserve that neutrality. Attltade ot Tarkry. Another faction, which as yet has not been given much conalderatlon. la the at titude of Turkey, which. If she has auf flclently recovered from the effects of her late war with Italy, may be able to throw considerable weight Into the scale. It la generally understood that Germany has an effective understanding with Tur key which may lead to Interesting devel opments. There waa no cessation of diplomatic activity In London throughout the day. This evening Premier Asqulth gsve a small dinner party at his residence in Downing street, the governments Includ ing the Russian ambassador. Bir Edward Orey remained at the f re'gn office until a late hour and then went to Bucking ham palace to consult King George. The Japanese ambassador had a long confer ence with Sir I'M ward Grey during the afternoon. The cabinet will meet again tomorrow to consider Great Britain's attitude In t i mountain regions. Before placing their pontoon following the bambardment. the Austriana shelled the river bank at this point of their proposed landing. the criMa. The government will have toi make its momentous decision between the two schools of thought which prevail aloof and seek only to protect Dutch and Belgian neutrality and the other arguing that the entente with France entails Eng land going to the assistance of France If that country Is attacked by Germany. Despite the official view tnat there Is a friendly feeling between England and Germany, it Is impossible to avoid ob serving among the general public deep here one advocating that England hold seated antagonism toward that country. A dispatch received by the Reuter Tel egraph agency from Berlin says that a freneral mobilisation of the Germsn army was ordered this evening. Krents of Day. PARIS, Aug. 2. Diplomatic events since Satudday afternoon can- be stated briefly as follows: Baron von Schoen, German ambassador to France, called on the French premier, Rene Vivianl, at 7 o'clock yesterday even ing and formally notified him Germany had addressed an ultimatum to Russia, desiring to know by 2 o'clock today whether the St. Petersburg government would discontinue mobilisation ot the Russian army. Baron von Hchoen was directed by hie government to ask what were the Inten tlon of France should Russia's reply to Germany bo a refusal to demobollze. The German government fixed "before 1 p. m. today" as the period in which France must answer. Tlvlaal Makes Appeal. Baron von Schoen called at the French foreign office at 11:40 a. m. to receive France's reply. Premier Vivianl made an earnest appeal to the German ambassador asking if Germany could not yet do sorno thlng to avert war. The baron promised to communicate with Berlin and to return to the French foreign office at 4 p. m... which he did. The German reply, whatever it was, was submitted to the French cabinet council, which, within a few minutes afterwards, ordered a general mobiliza tion of the French army. The date of the mobilization waa set for tomorrow, but that only means the men must reach their regiments by tomorrow, so the mobilisation begins Immediately. But the men are called out in classes at Intervals of days according to the year In which they entered the army. Precise instructions are always In the possession of every man, so that he may know what to do when a general mobili zation Is posted. The wildest enthusiasm was manifested on the boulevards when the news of the ordering of the mobilisation becama known. Bodies of men formed In regular companies In ranks ten deep, and paraded the streets, waving the tricolor and other naMonal emblems and cheering and sing ing "Marseillaise" and the "Internation ale and throwing their hats in the air. On the sidewalks were many weeping women and children. All the stores and cafes were deserted. The uiarchlnit of the soldiers in the streets with the English, Russian and French flags flying, the singing of pa triotic songs and the shouting of "On to Berlin!" was much less remarkable than the general demeanor and cold resolution of most of the people. Tearful Scenes. The response to the order of mobiliza tion was Instant and tho stations of all the railways, particularly those leading to the eastward, were crowded with de parting reservists. Veny women accom panied the men until close to the sta tions where, softly crying, farewells were said. The troop trains departed at regular Intervals and the Paris streets were quiet and nearly empty tonight. All the auto buses had disappeared, having been requi sitioned by the army to carry meat, the coach work of tho vehicles being removed and replaced with specially designed bodies. A large number of taxlcaba, pri vate autombbiles aad horses and carts aluo were taken over by the military for transport purposes. TOURISTS CAUGHT INWAR SEEK AID (Continued from Pace One ) pelled to pay their bills in currency, neither checks nor notes were acceptable. In one famous resort of the Americans here there waa a continual stream of men offering ti (t2) notes In payment for 10-cent drinks and asking for change, only to be told there was no gold In the house. Home ot them got the drink for nothing, but most of them were able fo produce sliver when pressed. Plan Aid for Travelers. . Such scenes mere never before witnessed In the west end of London, where ordi narily the notes of any country of the world are changed without demur. Prominent American residents met her tuday and organised a mission to assist their compatriots who may be stranded on the continent through the paralysis of the ordinary banking facilities. They will end men to the continent provided with money to help Americans to reach home. If the oontlnental governments will per mit the agents to enter. It Is believed that passports and letters from the am bassador explaining the purpose of the mission will enable their agents to carry .out the work. ' Walter H.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Active meaa ures for the relief of man)- thousands of Americans In distress In Europe for lark of money or means to return home have been begun by President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan. The president and (Secretary Bryan con ferred tonight, on getting money to oitl sens abroad. The administration has under considera tion sending army and navy transports to carry American refugees and a si eclal request to congress for an appropriation Is expected. Mr. Bryan discussed several plans, but will not make final decision until tomor row, when they will confer again and get the opinion of the bankers who urually serve the State department abroad In normal times. If necessary the Washington govern ment proposes to send American vessels abroad with gold for the relief ot Amer icans, Immediately after the conference with the president Mr. Bryan cabled all consulates, legations and embassies to spare no pains In caring for Americans who remained in the war sones and giv ing every facility to those who wished to leave. Thousand Keek Aid. State department officials admitted that the most ser'ous problem confronting them was the plight of Americans abroad They estimated that at least 100,000, and perhaps as many as 300,000, are scattered throughout Europe. The disorganization of European exchanges has made it prac tically impossible to cash checks or let ters of credit. American consulates, lega tions and embassies are devoid of funds for the emergency which has suddenly confronted them. They are being be sieged on all sides with requests for finan cial assistance. With the cancellation by several steam ship lines of their sailings many Ameri cana find themselves unable to get pas sage on the overcrowded boats of Ameri can register. American warships Would be of little use as they have hardly any capacity for passengers. Naval officers have suggested that the government could charter immediately some of the big ocean liners of foreign register to bring Americans home. May Charter Ships. By sveclul arrangement, officials believe the' American government could obtain tne use oi foreign snips securing ex emption from seizure If used only for transportation of Americans. The only American warships In European waters are the little gunboat Scorpion, station (hip at Constsntlnople, and the battle ship Main at Villafranche with An napolis midshipmen and the officers and crew of the battleship Idaho taken over at that port by the Greek government The Main will leave Villafranche Tues day for Annapolis. A special appropriation will be required to charter steamships to bring home Americans. Congress always has acted promptly In such emergencies and is ex pected to do so again. Many application were received at the (State department today from persons in the United States desirous of having American consuls investigate and report upon the safety of their friends and rela tives in Europe. The State department Is returning the uniform answer that under their general Instructions the con suls will look after and report the caaw of any Americans In distress In their respective districts and consequently that no special instructions are needed. GREAT BRITAIN IN . NO SHAPE FOR WAR (Continued from Page One.) goes to engage In this advenfu-e. First on a vage general ground that our friends are threatened and we mual sup port them; that we may maintain a bal ance of power; that we cannot afford to see France defeated and Germany pre dominate. These are mischievous lrrelevanules. Whatever secret aim may be afloat, that Is not our declared national policy. We have no obligation whatever binding us directly or indlrecty to engage In this war. There Is no qustlon of national honor or national interest involved; there is no pledge to be redeemed. Abealately Free. We are absolutely free, far mure free than Italy, to stand aside from this ruinous struggle. As for a balance of power, that is In ltelf a root cause of war and haa been for centuries. Rut It Is In Itself a root cause of mar and has been for centuries. But It is sacrifice, in these enlightened days, to that ugly, bloodstained idol, and a sacrifice con doned and shared in by the niovt pro gressiva nation in Kurope. The thing is unthinkable. But there Is a second, more plausible plea. It is taken for granted, by the war party, that Ormany, if she attacks France, will not only violate the neutrality of Belgium and Holland, but will actually seek to conquer and annex these states. Much a course would demand our Intervention, out of regard to treaties, to which we long have been a part'. Thia would its Bombardment by the bambardment, but the remainder of the capital was but little damaged. Only a few Servian were wounded. a blow at our maritime safety so serious ss to warrsnt Instant reprisals. Now, we need hardly consider the se rlousneea of such a blow. It Is a invth. There la soma sense let! In the craziest of the war lords of Germany, and anyone who calmly considers what It meant to Great Britain to conquer the tiny Boer states, and what a dangerous burden Alsace-Lorraine Is to Germany, and who remembers that Belgium and Holland have small but strong and well organ ized regular armies and efficient fortifi es t lone, will manifest sheer lunacy in adding the tssk ot their subjugation to the tremendous task of fighting great powers on two flanks, France and Rus sia, with her only ally, Austria, deeply engaged far awny. The ultimate object anil ultimate result of our. Intervention would be to secure Slav supremacy In eastern Europe, to aid A despotio and semi-barbaric power, Rus sia, to strengthen her bad and backward system, and to set hack tho clock of civ ilisation. We. the freest and purest de. mocracy In Europe, are to do this. It is revolting. It must not be. and. If the protests now gathering strength shall have their full effect, It will not be. Dramatic Scene When Russia Turns Down the Kaiser ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. t.-The rup ture of diplomatic relations between Rus sia and Germany took place under dra matic circumstances. It was midnight Friday when Count Von Pourtales, the German ambassador to Russia, visited foreign minister Sazonoft and asked for an urgent Interview, As soon as It was received he formally called upon Russia to cease her mobilisation in twelve hours. The allotted period paxsed without an answer. At 7 o'clock Saturday evening Count Von Poiirtalea again called upon M. Sazunofr and again asr.cd if Russia would ceuse mobilization ot the forces. To this the Russian statesman replied: "Insomuch as the Russian government haa not answered within the time you specified it follows that Russia, haa de clined to agree with your demand." Three tlmns Count Von Pourtales re prated the German ultimatum and each time the Russian foreign minister met his statement with the same firm nega tive. Finally Count Von Poutales rose from his chair, bowed to the foreign min ister and left the room without a word. He and the members of his staff at once departed from St. Petersburg by way of Finlund. According to the Novoe Vremya, Count Von Pourtales hld In his hand the type written texts of two replies from Ger many. One was for iVe presentation In the event of Huuslan acceptance of the German ultl natum and the other In case of Its rejection. In his great agitation the German ambassador presented both replies to M. Sasonoff at the same time. The protection of Russians In countries In wsr with Russia has been entrusted to Spain.
