LONDON. Ens.. July 27. Glimmers
of hope flickered In the darkened
sky of European politics today
and the wish was general that the ef

At the Servian legation in London,
the view was held that some improve

exevised by Russia. Alex George

that does not impair onr sovereign

in the interests of peace, will
recognize that consideration is due to
an independent state and so avert war.
If, however, Austria-Hungary wants
war she will have seen that we are
preoa-ed to accept it in the Interests
of the dignity ot our state
Grey Proposes Conference.
Sir Edward Grey invited the gov
ernments of Austria-Hungary, Servia
and Kusia to suspend operations pend
"g the result of his proposed con

Germany Approves Principle.
Sir Edward Grey in announcing In
the house of commons the steps to be
taken to bring about mediation in the
Aas'o-Servia controversy, says:
-I understand that .the German, gov
