Paris, Aug. 3.—An appeal to the press, issued this morning, ask© cau tion in publishing news about the wai which might help the enemy. It re valiH the imprudent revelations made in I*7o and the great aid afforded n this way to Germany. Any news published without consent of the mili tary officers, It declares, renders tho offender liable to a charge of treason. The fact that France intends to mobilize her forces to the last man is indicated by a bill to be introduced In parliament tomorrow perriittln* men who have failed to present Lh ;mselves for their term of compulsory service to Join the army now v.ithouit liability to punishment. Americans Offer. Deputies from th© f rench colonies Issued an appeal today to colonial res dents In Paris to offer their services to the government. Rome Americana here have offered to fight to: France and a suggestion has been made that a corps of Americans should be or ganized here. All telegrams were refused at the postoffices In Paris for a period to day and it Is assumed the difficulties In transmission of dispatches will rap idly Increase. Concentrstion of Troops. < onrentration of French troops In strategic positions along the frontiers and operations of military trains serv ice have been carried out to the com plete satisfaction of military authori ties. Th© pillage of a German Jewelry store in Paris and other incidents of a more or less grave nature, particu larly raids against the stores of those merchants who have raised the prices of necessareis, caused the prefect of police today to placard an appeal to Parisians to maintain order. Vigor ous measures are to be taken against dealers raising their prices to exorbi tant rates. German Seizure Belgian Territory Deciding Factor (Continued from Preceding Page.i bombardment of a Russian Baltic lain by a German warship and seiz ure of merchant ships by Russia and Germany were the striking features today of the war on which virtually tue whole continent of Kurope has started. The position to be taken bv the British empire still remains to be defined but it is feared German - , seizure of Belgian territory will be a deciding factor. Under the treaty of Irfindon, of 1539, Great Britain stands I Pledged to maintain Belgium's neu | trality. Grave View. Kvidences were not lacking todav jof the grave view of the situation taken by all classes in the United Kingdom. l.eaders of the opposition parties were called Into council by the cabi net and it was reported tile concella lion of Field Marshal Karl Kitcheners return to Kgypt, was a prelude to his i appointment us minister of war. ft was asserted in authoritative i ipintrers mat due warning had been | given to Germany yesterday of the Intention or the British navy to take instant Hction In case a German sol dier should set foot on Belgian soil.

Wave of Exaltation at Capi tal. Priests Read Declara tion of War. St. Petersburg.—This city Is passing j through a historic period. When It became known yesterday that a special service of prayers was to be celebrated at the winter palace an ex traordinary wave of exultation passed over the capital. Hours before the ap pointed time, a crowd of 100.000 gathered bearing flags, tanners, portraits of the emperor and placards with patriotic In scriptions. Tremendous Ovation. When the imperial yacht with the em peror and his family arrived from Pe terhof at 4 o'clock in the afternoon they received a tremendous ovation, the peo ple all kneeling and hurrahing as the im perial party passed to the palace. When their majesties had taken their places for the service, the priest read th© declaration of war, a te deum was sung for victory for the Russian arms and their majesties venerated the hclv cross and the ikon. To Desired End. The emperor then addressed the repre- i sentatives of the army and navy in a brief speech expressing the calm dignity with which Russia had received the dec laration of war and the conference of the nation that the war would be carried* to the desired end. “I her© declare solemnly,” the emperor said, “that I will not make peace while a single soldier of the enemy remains on Russian soil.” His Majsty concluded with words of , encouragement to the army and by in voking a blessing on their efforts. that the United States Steel Corpora tion was ready to offer the services of about thirty ships to carry Ameri can exports abroad and bring Ameri cans from Kurope. The report is be ing investigated. Secretary Daoiels said today that should it be necessary to send ships to bring away stranded Americans, the government probably would charter commercial ships. He explained he had not considered the advisability of using warships as refuge vessels and had received no request from the state department for the diversion of any of the naval craft to that purpose. Secretary Daniels thinks It would be more feasible to charter commercial lines because naval vessels, except transports, ar not adapted to carry ing passengers.

This part of the speech was re ceived with loud cheering. Toward the close of his speech, Sir Edward Grey said: ‘‘We must be prepared and we are prepared tg face the consequences of using all our strength at any moment —we know not how’ soon—in order to defend ourselves.” The foreign secretary stated that the British fleet had mobilized and the mobilization of the army was taking place, but that no arrangements had yet been made to send an expedition abroad. He continued: Defenseless. “The French fleet is in the Mediter ranean and the northern coast of France Is defenseless.
