BUENOS AIRES, JULY 26.

BOLIVIA IS MOBILISING AND WILL DECLARE

WAR AGAINST PARAGUAY ON AUGUST 8. Anti-Paraguayan demonstrations have

been causing the Bolivian Government considerable trouble, and martial law prevails as a result of the popular ex- citement over the Bolivia-Paraguay boundary dispute.

The dramatic message indicating Bolivia's inten- tion of declaring war is published to-day in the news- paper Noticias Graficas, which attributes its informa- tion to authoritative sources in La Paz, the Bolivian capital, and says that August 8, the alleged war declara- tion date is also the date when the mobilisation of the Bolivian Army has been completed.

The message adds that almost the entire army is now moving towards the frontier, which is virtually closed.

GEN. VON SCHLEICHER'S OUTBURST

EUROPE'S PACT

Berlin, July 26. Germany will arm herself up to the level of her neigh- bours if they refuse to dis- arm to her level.

This threat was uttered to- day by General von Schleicher, the Minister of Defence of the Reich, in a broadcast address, the theme of which was the "catastrophic failure" of the Disarmament Conference.

Germany's insecurity against her armed neighbours was self- evident, declared General Schlei- cher, who accused France of hypocrisy on the disarmament question.
