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.
