Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES
VIENNA, July 28- Upon the issue of the formal declaration of war against
Servia today Emperor Franz Josef gave orders for the removal of the Summer
Court from Ischl to the capital. His entourage tried to persuade him that
Vienna air would not suit him, but the aged Emperor replied:
"I do not want the air of Vienna. I want the atmosphere of headquarters."
The opening of the war has caused the imposition of all kinds of restrictions
upon public business. All the railways, of course, are under military control,
and the telegraphs are being reserved entirely for the service of the State.
The hope is still entertained here that the war will be confined to Austria-Hungary
and Servia. The report that Russia and France have intervened in Vienna
is incorrect. In official circles here it is maintained that any action
by those powers must be supported by the third party to the Triple Entente,
namely, Great Britain. It is known that Great Britain and France do not
want a European war. Peace among the great powers or war among the great
powers must depend on the action of St. Petersburg.
At the Foreign Office here it is freely stated that now that war has begun
Austria-Hungary will be bound to no more conditions such as she propounded
prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
Food Prices Up in Vienna.
There was an abnormal rise in the price of provisions today, which caused
great indignation on the part of the public, who flocked to the markets
to lay in stores in anticipation of a possible scarcity. Vegetables in many
cases trebled in price. Feeling ran so high that in many instances stallkeepers
in the markets were mobbed or assaulted, and the police and to be called
out to restore order. The authorities declare that the sudden increase in
the prices of provisions and vegetables is totally unwarranted.
A permanent committee appointed to deal with the question of provisioning
the country, sat today to discuss the regulation of prices in order to prevent
the public being cheated. A similar meeting with the same object also was
held in the Diet.
It was officially asserted that there was no reason for apprehension with
regard to the food supply, and that it was needless for citizens to start
the accumulation of stores of provisions. The only effect of such procedure,
it was added, would be to still further raise prices.
Official arrangements have been made to take care of families of reservists
called to the colors. In the event of a reservist being killed or reported
missing an allowance of about 25 cents per day for each adult and 12 1-2
cents a day for children will be continued for six months.
