HOPE FLICKERING
IN DARKENED SKY
A us tria and Servia A ppear
To Be Willing to Dis
cuss Controversy.
Washington, July 27. The
gravity of the European sit
uation was reflected in an of-
. ficial dispatch from St Pet
ersburg today saying th6
Russian minister of war had
declared war between Russia
and Austria-Hungary seem
ed almost inevitable.
This statement was made after
the Russian ministery had
issued an official declaration
. that Russia was greatly dis
turbed and could not remain
indifferent. The report that
complete mobilization of the
Russian army had been or
dered was confirmed.
London, July 27 Glimmers of hope
Dickered In the darkened sky of Euro
pean politics today and the wish was
general that the efforts of the treat
European powers to avert a clash of
arms which might Involve many na
tions would be successful.
While all the powers were preparing
for possible eventualities their statef
men. with Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, at their head,
were endeavoring to bring together the
government at issue with a view to
mediation.
At the Servian legation In London
the view was held that tome improve
ment in the situation had resulted
from the Influence exercised by Rus
sia. Alexander Georgevltch, the first
secretary, said:
"We have complied with everything
that does not Impair our sovereign
rights. We hope Austria-Hungary will
recognize that consideration is due an
Independent state and to avert war.
If. however, Austria-Hungary wants
war, she will see that we are prepared
to accept It." '
The fact that' Austrian ambassadors
abroad were willing to discuss con
troveraaJ points with foreign govern
ments and especially with Russia fled
to the belief that an outlet for the
deadlock would be found.
The stock markets of London and
the Suropean capitals still displayed a
panicky feeling, although It was not as
pronounced as on Saturday.
. LUUo Change
1 The mere fact' that the breach be
tween Austria-Hungary and Bervla
had not yet resulted In any heavy
fighting today gave Europe In gener
al the hop that war might be avert
ed. The more optimistic feeling was
largely baaed on the belief that the
German emperor, who returned to
Potsdam today from his crluse In
northern waters, would throw his In
fluenca Into tha balance In favor of a
peaceful settlement
It was said thlt morning that Aus
tria Hungary would not move her
forces against th Servian capital un
til tomorrow. Indicating that the dual
monarchy desired to give Bervla fur
ther time to eonsldor; her reply to
the ultimatum from Vienna.
Outside of Austria -Hungary and
Ocrmany the reply tent by Bervla Is
regarded as a very fair one, as It
grant all the demands which a sov-
reign state could grant.
It It pointed out that there It lit'
tie use In Bervla appealing for media-
, tlon, however, since Austria-Hungary
hat declared the matter to be between
her and Bervla, and In thlt sha Is
'backed up by Germany and Italy, her
partners i nthe triple alliance.
Meantime all the nations of Eu

.war, as none of them wishes to be

be England's danger point in the
event of a European outbreak.
Seek to Avert War.
The Italian and. German ambassa
dors here saw Sir Edward Grey this
morning but with what result-could
not be ascertained.
A most serious view of the situation
is taken here. : Every effort Is being
made by England to find some way
out of the crisis. Many of Englands
diplomatic representatives were on j
their summer vacations but hurried
back at once to their posts.
Stocks Fall.
The London stock exchange which
opened half an hour earlier than usual,
was comparatively calm at the open
ing, the opinion prevailing that war
would be averted. The market, how
ever, soon became panicky, the, jlarnor-
allzation of Saturday being repeated.
British consult dropped to 71, neatly
'f below Saturday. German, Austrian
and Russian bonds went down from 1
to Z points and practically the whole
list followed the example.' Canadian
Pacific's were ordered at 176 Mi or 17
below parity, a loss on the fortnight
of something like $20. Several active
American securities fell from $10 to
$16.
Better Feeling.
St Petersburg, July 27. In spite of
the generally unfavorable symptoms In
the situation between Austria-Hun
gary and Servia and of the effect pro
duced by the arrest In Hungary of
General Radomlr Pitnlk, chief of the
Servian general staff, a better feeling
was noticeable here today as the re
sult of yesterday's diplomatic conser
vations.
It Is understood the long interview
between Serglus Sazonoff theiRusslan
foreign minister and the Austrian am
bassador especially was responsible for
this Improvement of sentiment.
The fact that Vienna does not refuse
to discuss the points at Issue is Inter
preters a happy symptom, although
Russia's attitude nas Deen very nrm
since the beginning of the crisis. The
Russian government, at the same time,
Is anxious to negotiate with Vienna in
order by such a discussion to deluy
any act which might prove Irreparable.
It Is still hoped here tnat tne voice oi
Berlin may be heard at the opportune
moment In the lne Interest of peace.
Strikers Kesume Work
The workmen In the Russian capi
tal who had been on strme ror a
week today decided to resume work
In order to emphasize their approval
of tho Russian government's support
of Servia. They made patriotic dem
onstratlons In the streets and tang
the Russian national anthem.

An important conference was held
In this city Saturday by progressives
and republicans. State Chairman Wal
ser of the progressives, has been here
and is understood to have given his
sanction to the proceedings.
It was decided that separate organi
zations should be maintained, but that
there should be co-operation between
the forces. In fact, it has been con
ceded for some time, long before the
coming of Mr. Walser, that the repub
licans and former republicans would
work together in this section, and it
made little difference about the views
of the leaders. - ' .
Those concerned are still hoping
that Hon. J, J. Britt will make the race
for congress, and in that event he will
have, the support of all factions. It Is
thought that Mr. Britt will make some
statement about his attitude within the
next few days. '
Cha:-; n Walser is said to be on
the search for a candidate to make
the race for senator against Senator
Overman. It had been hoped that
Hon. Cyrus W. Thompson would make
this race, but he is disinclined to do
so.
This scheme of co-operation be
tween the two factions will likewise be
carried out in Buncombe and the
Nineteenth Judicial district, It being
definitely stated this morning that a
full ticket will be put In the field, from
township constable to United States
senator, and that this ticket will be
supported alike by progressives and
republicans.

Caillaux Reads , Papers Con
cerning Calmette's Rela
tions With Hungary.
Paris, July 27. Madame Caillaux
appeared much calmer today at the
seventh day's hearing of her trial for
the murder of Gaston Calmette, edit
or of the Figaro. She suffered two
fainting spells last night as a result
of the severe strain she underwent on
Saturday when . she swooned during
the reading of the love letters sent to
her by Joseph Caillaux, former pre
mier, while he was the husband of
Mme, Gueydan.
As soon as the Judges had ; taken
their seats M. Caillaux demanded to
be heard. He said:
"The Figaro having accused me to
day of insubordinatlng witnesses, I
should like to submit to the court some
authentic papers concerning the late
Gaston Calmette's relations with the
Hungarian government. I have hesi
tated to use them but I have decided
to do so in view of the Figaro's atti
tude. I desire also to read the late
M. Calmette's will."
Maitre Chenu: "How did you get
It?"
"M. Caillaux: In the same way
that you got my letters."
M. Caillaux then proceeded to read
the will.
TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Federal ; Money to' Assist
Crop Moving Again
This Fall.
in
Washington, July 27. Preparations
for distribution of approximately $34,
000,000 of government funds, to be de
posited innattonal banks throughout
the country to facilitate marketing of
crops and for other "legitimate busi
ness purposes" were being made today
by the treasury department. Secretary
McAdoo said he stood ready to In
crease the amount to any extent to
meet the needs of the country.
Decision to distribute government
funds again this fall was the result
of replies from 6000 national banks to
recent treasury department circular
asking whether any unusual demand
for money was expected. The princi
pal demand for funds came from the
south. Secretary McAdoo will begin
distribution as soon as the banks com
ply with the regulations and present
the required security.
ProRpects for unusually large crops
and greatly Improved business condi
tions were indicated, Secretary Mc
Adoo says, by the replies of the bank
ers. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sherman Ramsey of
Statesville, accompanied by Mrs. Helen
T. Hall and her daughter, Miss Janet
Hall, will shortly form a motor party
taking a trip through the mountains

Head of Southern Thinks Dul-
aney Is Suffering From
The "Delusion of
Persecution."
RESENTS CHARGES OF .
BAD FAITH, CHICANERY
Further Resents the Statement
That Management of South- ;
ern Railway Is in Out- j
side Hands ' .
Washington, July 27. Fairfax Har
rison, president of the Southern rail- ;
way, today told the senate commute
Investigating Southern coal . traffic
that in his opinion B. L...Dulaney,
the independent coal operator ,of
Bristol, Tenn., ' whose charges have
formed the basis of the coal inquiry,
was "suffering from what is known ,
as delusion of persecution."
"I believe Mr. Dulahey has a deep
seated hatred for one or two men '
who have succeeded In the Virginia
and Southwestern and Appalachian ,
coal fields where he failed," said Mr.
Harrison. "Being unable to reach
these men he attacked the Southern
railway, as a railroad In these days It
always a target for attack.
"I resent with every fibre of my
being the charges of bad faith and
chicanery brought agianst the organ-
izatlon of the Southern, and I think
I am supported therein by that great ;
mass of people who have done busi
ness with us in the south. I feel a
further resentment at the charge that,
the direction of the policy of the
Southern railway has been In outside
hands and that the management has
been for any other interest than that
of the south. The ambltioiLnd policy-,
of the Southern has been to take a
part in the regeneration of the south
and in that, policy its officers and
management all along has shaped its
course."
President Harrison contended that
the charges were in the temper, of
times, which would listen to any al
legation that a railroad Is being used
for dishonest purposes.
"If I believed that the stockholder
had elected directors that used the
Southern railway to Its own disadvan
tage, I, as president .of the railroad,
would resign," declared Mr. Harrison
emphatically.
If either E. J. Berwind or Grant
B. Schley have exerciser a malevo
lent Influence over the Southern I do
not know It I have never heard of
their approaching the Southern to
get coal facilities or anything else. If
they have had any Influence It hat
been an occult reaction I cannot de
fine.".
The late J. Plerpont Morgan, who
was a member of the voting trust for
the Southern, never interfered with
the policies of the road, Mr. Harrison
said, and , never. , discussed with its
management any traffic in coal or
anything else. '
"His relation to, the Southern waa
of the slenderest character," testified
Mr. aHrrison. . " .
Chnrlea Steel, a member of the Mor
gan firm, was a southern man and
had been the most helpful director
to the Southern, tald the witness.
Referring to Elbert H. Gary of th
United States Steel corporation. Mr.
Harrison said he believed he sug
gested tho name of Judge Gary at a
successor to the late President
