Here while the diplomacy will be taken I younger social set enjoyed progres- by Washington. Tnlil to Work for Peace. The Washington government .in structed all its diplomatic represen tatives abroad to do anything in their power, with propriety, to gvert the conflict. Germany, France Great Britain and practically all the other gov ernments of Europe which may be- .come involved In the struggle, have asked the United States to Care for their diplomatic interests In those countries with which they-may,be compelled to sever relations. The United States has accepted every re quirement. and by acting as the sole channel of•'tdmmunlcation between the powers may find an opportunity to assist in the settlement of the conflict by diplomacy. , President Wilson has not lost hope that a general conflict can be averted. Some official dispatches suggested that the military meas ures taken by ‘some of the powers were precautionary and not definite ly indicative of an Intention to en gage in hostilities.- Germany’s Declaration. Jhe gravity of the situation was admitted in all the telegrams.. News that Germany had declar ed war on Russia came unofficially wtille President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan were in conference. La ter Mr. .Bryan hurried to the state department and sent several* long cablegrams abroad. To prevent paralysis in commerce President Wilson and Congressional > *'-« torf»v agreed on legislation i . which w*ould permit foreign ships to j come under Amerlcmi registry in ; case of a general war. No proclamation of neutrality wlll be issued by the United States until the situation develops more "clearly. Government officials gen erally were busy ^preparing for emergencies. Secretary Bryan post poned Ms vacation trip to Asheville, N. C. Postmaster General Burle son announced that thus far there had been no interruption or delay to mall service from the United States. Although sailings of Ger man steamers have been cancelled, American mall for Europe has been sent by other lines. Postmasters have been notified not to sell inter national money orders for unusually large amounts. Moo-Interference. From an anthoritatlve source it was learned late tonight that Pres ident Wilson wn sstrongly disinclin ed to take any steps toward media tion in Europe and I** t:ne with the traditional policy of the United States would pursue a course of ab solute non-interference. As American diplomats abroad have been active on their own initi ative sounding out the various gov ernments about peace measures, cautionary measures were sent al! legations and embassies requesting that no steps of importance in this direction be taken without previous consultation with the Washington governmnt. For the present the United States attitude will be that of a neutral ob server and unless it appears that | the contending powers would ac- j cept a tender of good offices and me- . diation no formal effort will be | made by the United States toward ^ a pacific settlement. sive whist < delicious iced lemonade was served by Mrs. Padgett an I Mrs. Moorer of St. George.
