'ENGLISH PROPOSE MEDIA
TION.
United Press Dispatch.
London, July 27.—England to
day took the initiative in an ef
fort to avert war- Foreign min
ister Girey suggested mediation
to France, Germany and Italy.
With the consent of Germany, it
is believed that Austria will be
lorced to accept mediation,
I which diplomats believe still pos
sible, despite preparations now
being made to begin war.
Minister Grey officially an
nounced that France, Germany
and Italy had been invited to
participate in ambassadorial me
diation conference. Grey’s in
fluence is largely responsible for
the preservation of peace be
tween other powers during the
Balkan war- The situation to
day was generally more hope
ful than Saturday with crisis
hanging in Austria’s acceptance
or declination of the proposal to
mediate the only remaining is
sue which is the right of Austri
an officers to make an arrest on
i Servian territory of a Servian
suspected of anti Austrian plot
I ting.

men the true gospel at their
meetings, for they want nothing
of the world mixed with it, was
