Germany's Time Limit to Rus-
sia Immediately Followed
by Declaration of War.
Witt WITH FRANCE A CERTAINTY
By the Aetoeiatod Pi e
London Aug-. 1 Events in the European
críala developed today wltb startling rapid-
ity. The German ultimatum to Russia do-
mending that llussla cense tho mobilisation
or her army expired at noon and at 5:U
o'clock in toe afternoon the German em-
peror signed a mobilisation order
atntbasmy Starr Departs.
At 7:30 o'clock the German ambassador
at St. Petersburg Count Von l'ounales
delivered a declaration of war la the name
of his government to the Russian govern-
ment and the -entire staff of the emhassy
Immediately Iert St. I-etorsburg.
War Declaration a Surprise.
Althouirh after the war-like speeches do
llvercd by the Oermao emperor and the
iiiunTi.il chancellor at Berlin on Friday no
other result could be expected; hopes that
the. dreaded event might be avoided had
been raised- by the intervention of King
George in St. Petersburg and toe ract that
the German Reichstag was not to be con-
vened until Tuesday. Hence the actual
declaration of war had not been expected
ror another day or two.
General Euroaeaa War.
Now the die Is cast and Europe la to be
. plunged Into a general war which has been
the apprehension of European statesmen
rr 'generations H la new only a question
r la-aoatiiiaWiif annul war.. wUl .axial
nerween Germany ana France.
Germany against France.
It la not known exaotly what hour or-
many's ultimátum to France asking that
country to define what attitude she would
ussumoaln case or War between Germany
and Austria against Russia was to expire
but It la believed it will not be long before
diplomatic relations will be ruptured or
war - declared.
The German emperor and his advisers
'have maintained to the last that they made
supremo cfrorts ror the sake of peace and
that Uto last of the series or earnest appeals
rrum Kmperor William to Emperor Nich-
olas was a telegram repudiating responsi-
bility for the calamity threatened the world
mi the ground that Germany Is engaged in
mediating with Austria-Hungary at Hussia's
request. Russia by Iter general mobiliza-
tion was threatening Germany's safety.
First Mots Fired.
The ftrat shots in the Rusao-Gerraan war
were- exchanged between patrols near Prost-
ken Uils afternoon Uro miles to the south-
east of Konlgsberg.
The only redeeming feature of the darkest
prospect with which Europe has been raced
tor hair a century Is that Italy has declared
her neutrality. But how long that neutral-
ity can be maintained Is a debatable ques-
tion. Great Britain's position bas already been
derined by Premier Asquitb in toe .British
parliament. He declared that she U under
no formal obligations to go to tho assistance
of Franca In the event of an European war.
The Brillah government however has made
full preparation Jn both events f or what-
ever may happen.
The Presea! Lineup.
. The present position therefore. Is thai
Russia. France and Servia are arrayed on
one side against Austria-Hungary and Ger-
many 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 neu-
trality against their iwwerful neighbors
or whether Great Britain will rind her sel r
compelled to send an expeditionary force to
attempt to preserve that neutrality.
Another Tactor which bas as yet not beeu
given much consideration is the attitude or
turkey which it she has surrietemly re-
covered rrom the erfects of her late war
with Italy may be able to throw consid-
erable weight into the scale. It Is gener-
ally understood that Germany baa an ef-
fective understanding with Turkey which
may lean to interesting developments.
Much illplomatlc Activity
al
There was no cessation or dlplom
activity in London throughout toe day. 1
i-v en iug premier aaqutin gave a small din-
ner party at bis residence in Downing
street . the guests including the Russian
ambassador. Sir Edward Gray remained ai
the foreign office tinul a late hour and then
went M Buckingham Palace to consult King
George. Tile apáñese ambassador had a
long conference wltb Sir Edward Grey dur-
ing U afternoon
The cabinet will meet again tomorrow to
consider Great Britain's attitude in the
crisis. TIM government will have to make
us momentous decision between toe two
schools of thought which prevail here-
one advocating mat Engladd hold aloof and
seek only to protect butch and Belgian
neutrality and the other si-tutor that the
entente with Franca entalla England going
to tba assistance of France If that country
Is attacked by Germany Despite Use of-

tne general demeanor and cold resolution
