One of the Swansea Poor Law officials complaining of the many delays of the Committee whose business it is to deal with applications tor increases in their salaries, cries out, We are called Pool- Law officials, with the accent on the poor:" We can only observe that, with the accent so placed, there is yet another possihle construction, whIch the officials. whatever their private view, would not wish to publicly emphasise. There are two Brotherhoods in Skeity, one attached to the Church and the other to Wesley Chapel. last year a- Ijoi Tt meet- ing was held, under the auspices of the former, when nearly 70 of the Wesley Brotherhood attended. A similar meeting was held at Wesley last Sunday, when only three of the Church Brotherhood attended. And Konconformists are con- sidered such a narrow-minded lot! *= St One of the best stories told about the iat? Dr. Comer Lewis, took place at a Dis- establishment meeting, the victim being a well-known local journalist. The Doctor. in one of his fiery passages, said that when they attacked the Church the counter- try was brotherly love." Brotherly love, indeed," roared Gomer. What if I were to throw my fourteen stoue on that young man from the Daily would he say brotherly love, brotherly The journalist, hot and flushed. murmured between his teeth something not quite parliamentary.

POWERS PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE WAR TSAR, KAISER AND EMPEROR. I NEGOTIATIONS STILL PROCEEDING. n STRICT CENSORSHIP MAKES THE POSITION iiNGEKIAIM BRITISH FLEET SAILS. I l THE AUSTRIAN ADVANCE AGAINST SESVIA. MANY KILLED. The situation is one of extreme I gravity." These words, uttered by the Prime Min- ister in the House of Commons on Wed- nesday afternoon fitly describe the eitua- tion. Each of the Great Powers is taking pre- cautions, as will be seen from the Kmessages printed below. There is still, however, some hope that the conflict may he confined to Austria and Servia. While it is Understood that the communications which were taking place between Austria and Russia have ceased, 11: is believed that Germany is en- deuvouring to re-establish such relatioiis between the two countries. A strict censorship is being maintained In Vienna and St. Petersburg, which makes it extremely difficult to obtain rot- I able news. I The proceedings of the Powers arc l dealt with separately, but the military I preparations may here be briefly indicated as tollows;- Mobilising,—Austria, 0 Servia, Russia! (16 out of 27 corps). < Waking Prcparaiions.—Germavj-, France. ) Great BfitaTi, I Holland B c I u i Spain. I It should be explained that the partial i mobilisation of the RusElall lor?s u<' j corps: 1,200.000 men) does not. it is an-j nounoed, imply war between Russia and Austria-Hungary. 1 The mobilisation has produced an un- J pleasant feeling:, 1t is announced that 'Ill the event of war the Tsar will personally l take command of his troops. The financial crisis which has arisen ¡ through the gravity of the situation was dealt with in our columns yesterday. Business was at a standst ill on the Lon- don Stock Exchange, and it is now stated that hitecn failures have already oc- curred and more are expected. There has been a rise in the price of food. An advance of I-q. 6d. to 2s. per sack of iiour was recorded at Liverpool yesterday, which gives a total rise of :2s. 6d. a sack since last Friday. GREAT BRITAIN. The First Fleet of the British Navy left Portland 011 Wednesday, with sealed onhrs, for an unknown destination. Certain movements of troops have taken place, but these (it is officially announced) are not in the nature of mobi- lisation, but arc of a purely precautionary character. The Admiralty have warned naval officers and men against communicating information to outsiders. The •"Times" states that the movements of troops which have taken place are for the protection of magazines, oil-reservoirs, wireless stations, and other works of public importance. These measures are partly precautionary in case of eventuali- ties, and partly of a routine nature. ■ ■■ ■ GERMANY. The partial mobilisation of the Russian forces has created all unpleasant impreo- siou in Germany. It is hoped, however, than an understanding may be arrived at at the last, moment. A Berlin journalist suggests that if England would make her intentions clear it might be of consider- able help. Berlin.—Upon the news reaching Berlin that Russia had decided upon a i partial mobilisation, a conference was I immediately called by the Kaiser, who summoned the Imperial Chancellor, the Ministers of War and Marine, the chiefs of the army and naval st?ffs. and the Foreign Secretary. I understand that in official circles t'ne chance; of the war being localised are re- garded ia r n that the outlook re ')'1' The oubiichc German Court organ) say.s: Russia, while negotiat- ing diplomatically, continues the move- ment of troops on a somewhat extensive I scale. This diminishes the chance of tho war being localised.—Exchange. Kaiser and Tsar. It is confirmed that the German I Emperor has received a telegram from the Tsar, and it is added that this tele- gram crossed a telegram from the Emperor to the Tear. The Crown Prince Arrived at Potsdam yesterday. He and the other princes now at Potsdam visited the Emperor at. the Neues Palatz, remaining for an hour in conference with his Majesty. Proposed Punishment. I A suggestion is made in certain diplo- matic: quarters here that Austria-Hungary might be prepared to consider a proposal that the four Great Powers. Great Britain. France, Germany, and Italy, vhould formulate a plaJl for the "punish- ment" of Servia, which would satisfy the demands of Austrian prestige, and to which Servia might be induced to submit. There is no rei^son to suppose that this is amtb-ing mace than a suggestion which turned up in the course of conversation between the entente diplomatists. The Fleet The ships of the North Sea Fleet have returned to Wilhelmshaveu, and those & the Baltic Fleet, to Kiel.—Renter. RUSSIA. Renter's St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs: It is probable that in the event of war the Tsar will take the supreme command of ifohe Russian forces. His Majesty will have as his seconds in om: land the Grand Duke Nicholas SVicikl&ievitch and the Minister of War, General Sukhomiinofi. The cadets at the Naval School were yesterday promoted to the rauk of officers in the presence of the Tsar. Ts, and Cadets. His Majesty subsequently addressed the cadets, his words being received with a storm of enthusiastic cheers. He said: I have given orders that you should he incorporated in the army in view of the serious events through which Russia is at present passing. During your service as officers do not forget what I say to you: "Trust in (rod and have faith in the glory and greatness of our mighty country." Circulars have been issued by the mari- time administration announcing that the lightships at Libau, Luseror and Sary- tscheff have been removed from their stations, and the Renscher lighthouse and Roengrund and Smultrongrund lights have been extinguished. Near Sevastopol all lights except the Khersonese lights have been ex- tinguished. Entrance to Sevastopol during the night is prohi 1)ited.-E eii ter. Massing of Troops. I k partial mobilisation of Russian troops in the south and south-west was ordered on rruesday nigbt. This by no means implies a rupture of relations between Austria-Hungary and Russia; and it is hoped that some European Power will succeed in bringing about an under- standing lief.ween those States. The Russian mobilisation was confined to the military districts of Kic.if, Odessa, Moscow and Kazan. In each district are four army corps on the peace footing. Mobilisation converts the 16 army corps into 32. li-, is to be remarked that the mobilisa- tion affects the Austrian and not the German frontier. Kazan is the central district from which reserves are drawn for the western border.—Reuter. "PrsparfforWar." Bei-lin.-A message to a Berlin newspaper states that Prince Truhetskoi. chief of the Near Eastern Department of the Russian Foreign Office, stated yesterday that the itua- ?»HPS reached its most dangerous point since the beginning of the crisis. All the memoers of the Crown Council have advised the Tsar to prepare for war. • n.«| AUSTRIA. The strict censorship prevailing makes it difficult to say exactly what is going on. The movements of the Austrian troops are reported amongst the late telegrams. There are about 12,000 Austrian reser- vists in England, many being waiters and tailors. Several hundred got free tickets homo from the Consulate yesterday. A number of ladies volunteered ior nursing duty. About 750 Austria us have embarked at Grimsby during the past few days. As reported yesterday, the Russian Gov- ernment has been officially informed that Austria-Hungary will respect ..he terri. toria.1 integrity of Servia, and that slife is even desirous of abstaining from occupy- iiJg 13elgrade, A large number of retired British efheers have applied to the Servian Legation in service with the aimy. i 1.^ FRANCE. President Poincare returned to France yesterday, accompanied by M. Rene Yivi-' ani, the Premier. The President's home- coming was made the occasion ..f a great patriotic demonstration by hundreds c-f thousands of Parisians. The army authorities are continuing to take precautions. There are now on the eastern frontier six army corps fully ready to move. These corps are composed of 210,000 men, which, with the likely re- servists that can be mobilised at once, would form a strength of 300,000 men all ready on the frontier on the first day of Che mobilisation. At all the railway lines from Paris to the eastern frontier the tunnels and bridges are being guarded by soldier: All the aeroplone factories arc guarded by armed soldiers, and an order has been issued to the aeroplane manufac- turers prohibiting them from delivering any aeroplanes to private customers. M. Messimy, Minister of War, has re- ceived a letter signed by 16 of the best- known French aviators offering to place themselves and their aeroplanes at the disposal of the military authorities in the event of mobilisation. It is generally expected that the next move of the Government will be to recall to the colours the contingent of men who completed their period of active military service last year, which would mean an addition of 200,000 men to the present strength of the army. ————— ROUMANIA. The position of Ronmania is critical in view of the possibility of a collision be- tween Russia and the Dual Monarchy. As present. King Carol's Government still considers Roumania to be the guardian of the Treaty of Bukarest. and although no news of any mobilisation has as yet reached London, it is stated (says the Times") that military measures have been t-aken along the line of the Danube and the Dohrudja frontier. HEAD SMASHED. SOLDIER KILLED WHILE ON DUTY ON THE RAILWAY. Private Michael O'Neill, of the 2nd Dublin Fusiliers, while on duty on the railway bridge at Rochester, was k-nockoo down and killed by an express on the London. Chatham and Dover Railway this morning. Both up and down trains were ap- proaching at the time. O'Neill received a terrific blow, which smashed his head.

WAITING FOR WAR," 1 The Position in Germany. I I (Press Association Foreign Special.) Berlin, Thursday.—" Waiting for war" sums up the condition of things in Ger- many this morning. The lun?-picd cted premonitory symp- ioms of the coming catastrophe ara all l there—runs on .-avings banks, gold dis- appearing from circulation, anxious busi- ness community enquiring as to prospects of the banks calling in loans which have d-rcct effects 011 a commercial system based so largely on credit, and sudden rises in prices of grain and exchanges. Traiiio from France are beginning to bring in hundreds of Germans, including many women and children from Paris, where members, oi the German colony are large enough to make them an object- of couoiderable anxiety for the French Gov- ernment in case of war.. Similarly, east-hound trains are filled with Russians leaving Germany while there is yet time. The Town Council of Sfrasburg yester- day debated measures to be taken to re- assure the jHipulation of the great fortress, which has naturally been thrown into a state of great excitement at the prospect of imminent war. The Council decided to issue a mani- festo appealing to the people to remain calm and to leave their money in the savings banks. Measures will also be taken to combat the unprecedented rise in tho price of provisions in the town, which is the natural result of large num- bers of people hurriedly provisioning their houses for u siege. An extraordinary secret session of the itown Council of Breslau has been sum- moned for to-day to discuss the passing of a grant of live million marks for urgent necessities, which may arise in a few hours. Enthusiasm for war in Breslau has as- sumed proportions which have caused the police president, following the ex- ample of his Berlin colleague, to forbid processions and demonstrations. Socialist protests against war continue. Last night there were Socialist mass meetings in Dresden, Leipzig, Cologne, Hamburg. Jena. Lubeck, Bremen, Nuremberg, Sturtgart, Brunswick, and dozen other cities. There were 19 meetings in Hamburg, where the party is especially strong. At Cologne a crowd of 10,000 persons, on leaving the meeting, came into collision with the police, and there were many arrests. „ At other places there were affrays be- tween Socialists and patriotic demon- strators. ) At Essen, the local committee of the 1 ?('.erniaii Workmen's Congress, rc-i)reseii-I ting all the Non-Socialist Unions, in- cluding the German National Business Assistants' and State Employes' Leagucs. has issued a manifesto declaring that the great majority of German workmen and business employes repudiate the Socialist agitation, and are at one with their patriotic countrymen of all classes in questions which concern honour and de- fence of the Fatherland. The Committee speaks for a million and quarter of workmen and business employes. St. Petersburg.—According to a tele- gram receiverl here from Belgrade, the town has been bombarded and the bridge over the Save blown up.—Reuter. Paris.—It is confirmed here from Vienna that Belgrade has been bom- barded by the Austrians, that the Ser- vians dynamited the bridge over the Save, and were fired upon by the Aus- trians, whereupon they retired to Bel- grade.—Exchange Telegraph Co. (Belgrade is the capital of Servia.) Russian Reservists Called Up. I St. Petersburg.—An Imperial ukase (order) summons a number of naval and military re?ervi&ts and time-expirRd Cos- sacks to the colours. The Bourse will remain closed for thotiiext three days. Vienna.—A wave 01 patriotic enthu- siasm is sweeping over the country. De- monstrations are taking place in every provincial capital. The Hague.-—Absolute neutrality on che part of the Netherlands. Malta.—Throughout last night inces- sant military preparations were going on. There is a constant movement of troops and all leave has been stopped. I Australia. Melbourne. July 30th.—The Austro- Servian wer situation is increasingly affecting prices on the Australian stock exchanges. The stocks of a dozen mining companies which on Monday had depre- cated by a million. have, fallen a further 381,000. Several prominent investment stocks are also affected, some of the sell- ing being of London accounts. I On receipt of the news of war in Syd- ney, sellers of wheat withdrew altogether from the market.

KILLED BY HORSE. ———— iiTyi ———— DISTRESSING STREET FATALITY IN SKETTY. YOUNG WOMAN'S DEATH. A distressing fatality occurred in the upper part of Sketty on Thursday morn- ing, a young woman named Nellie Carter (19), living at co, Cambridge-street, losing her life. She was crossing the road near Penlan Lodge on her way to the Muncipal Secon- dary School playing field, to tefch her young brother. At that moment a horse and lorry, laden with" pop," belonging to Mr. Dutson, Swansea, and driven by Thomas Lott, was" coming up the hill. Miss Carter waited for 11 moment expect- ing the horse to turn into another road, but it jibbed, swung around and bolted. The shafts of the lon. snapped, and the horse, freed from its weight, leapt over a low wall and stl-uck Miss Carter. She fell heavily to the ground, death taking place almost instantaneously. The driver, Thomas Lott. is an experi- enced man, and has had charge of the animal for two years. The horse was not injured. The motor ambulance was summoned, and arrived with great promptitude, and the body was conveyed home.

THE ilAILY BREAD. SWANSEA FIRM AND THE EFFECT OF THE WAS. On enquiry at the offices of Messrs. Weaver and Co., Ltd., Swansea, this morning a Leader representative was informed that the war world sooner or later be bound to have a serious effect on the Hour trade. Wheat at the present time was from 2s. to 3s. per quarter higher, and other grain was rising accordingly. The great fear is that Russia may be drawn into the struggle, and then prices would go up very high, as the exporta- tion of wheat from that country would be stopped. Large quantities of wheat came into Swansea from Southern Russia.

EHCLISHWOnS CITIZENSHIP. The Right Hon. Sir Alfred Mond, Bart., has handed in an amendment to the British Nationality and Status oi Aliens Bill. The purport of the amendment is j to alter the present state of things, whereby, if an Englishwoman marries an alien she becomes by law an alien her- pelf, and loses her right, to British citizen- ship throughout the British Empire. Sir Alfred's amendment provides that the wife would remain a British subject; unless she declares her desire to become an alien also.
