T'.ie impression among the ministers, adds the dispatch, is that Germany is o * disposed to bring influence to bear upon Austria to resume diplomatic t, jq f con\ersations on grounds acceptable; to t':e other European powers and en there seems some hope of a comproboi mise. cil London, Jiny 31.?(There were only 01 ,c two factors tonight giving the faintVi< est hope of averting a general Eurolor pean war. fir* First, Russia and Austria are en- J gaged again in direct negotiations. ior Second, both Great Britian and France are using their utmost endeav- a ors in favor of peace.

France has not mobilized, but cab- 6X< inet councils which sat until late t> night issued decrees establishing a in^ moratorium and taking other action no which could only be determined upon !m_ the eve of war. Unofficially the cie French army is being virtually mobilized. a 1 I'll A circumstantial though as yet unconfirmed report published in Rome t0 ill P says Germany is about to demand i frcm both Russia and France the im- th CO! mediate cessation of mobilization. Yet aonther rumor is that the German am- int r bassador has notified the French govK..< ernment of his early eparture. ,iJUI Great Britian is practically though 'ma noi officially mobilized and the small- pai er European States, Belgium, Holland 0l and Switzerland, as a precaution, have * ordered the mobilization of their at armies to protect their territory from being used as a highway for the belligerents, and Norway, Sweden and v,a Denmark to guard tiiemseEves on general principles. . ?

Italy makes no announcement and I nlthrm^'h a mm or credits her with the I decision not to participate in the j struggle, there is little doubt that she j is making ready fc'r mobilization. (Communication across Europe "has been c it ofi and there is universal application of the censorship with the result that it is impossible to obtain any accurate knowledge of what military operations are going cn in Servia.
