Herr Von .lu- gow again went into the reasons _why the Imperial Government had been obliged to take this step, namely, that they had to advance into Franco by tho quickest and easiest way, so as to be able to get well ahead with their operations and endeavor to strike some decisive blow as early as pos- sible. _
A Matter of Life or Death.
"It was a matter of life or death for
them, as, if they had gone by the more
southern route, they.- could...not .have-
hoped, in view of the paucity of roads, and the strength of the fortresses, to have~got through without formidable opposition entailing great loss of time.
"This loss of time would mean time

violated Belgian Frontier.
"I potnted out to Herr Von .Iagow
that this fait accompli of the viola- tion of the Belgian frontier rendered. as he would readily understand, the situation exceedingly grave, and I asked him whether there was still not time to draw back and avoid pos- sible consequences which both he and 1 would deplore.
"He replied that for reasons he had
given me, it was now impossible for him to draw back.”
The British Ambassador proceeded
to the German Foreign Office again the same aftemoon and informed the Secretary of State that unless the Im- perial Government could give assur- ance by twelve o'clock that night that they would proceed no further with the violation of the Belgianfrontier and stop their advance, he had been instructed to demand his passports and to inform the Government that His Ma,iesty’s Government would have to take steps in their power to up- hold Belgium neutrality and the ob- servance of tho treaty to which Ger- many was as much a party as Great Britain. Germany Determined to Violate Neutrality.
"Herr Von Jagow," says the report,
"replied that his Government could give no other answer than that which ho had given me earlier in the day, that the safety of the Empire render- ed it absolutely necessary that the Imperial troops should advance through Belgium.
“I gave His Excellency ii. written
summary of your telegram and point- ing out that you had mentioned twelve o'clock as the time when His Majesty's Government would expect an answer. asked him whether, in view of the terrible consequences which would necessarily ensue, it was not possible even at the last moniont that their answer should be reconsidered. He replied that if the time given were even 24 hours or more, his answer must be the same.

BRITAIN MADE WAR "FOR A SCRAP OF PAPER."
the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Beth-
very excited condition
ed me to understand that for strategi- cal reasons, it was a mater of life or death to Germany to advance through Belgium and violate the latter’s lieu- trality, I would \vish him to under- stand that it was, so to speak, a mat- ter of life or death for the honor of Great Britain that she should keep her solemn engagement to do her utmost to defend Bclgium's neutrality if at- tacked. A soleliiii compact simply had to be kept, or what confidence could any one have in engagements given by Great Llritain in the future?
"Tile Chancellor said-‘But at what
price will that compact have been kept? Has the British Goverment thought of that?'
His Excellency Excited.
"1 hinted to His Excellency as plain-
ly us I could that fear of consequences could hardly be regarded as an excuse for breaking a solemn engagement. Iiut His Excellency was so excited, so evidently overcome by the news of our action, so little disposed to hear reason, that I refrained from adding fuel to the flame by further argument.
"As I was leaving, he said that the
blow of Great Britain joining Ger- niany’s enemies was all the greater because, almost up to the last mo- ment, lie and his Government had been working with us and supporting our efforts to maintain peace between Austria and Russia.
Part of the Tragedy.
“I said that this was part of the tra-
gedy which saw two nations fall apart just at the moment when the relations between them were more friendly and cordial than they had been for years. Unfortunately, notwithstanding our ef- forts to maintain peace between Aus- tria and Russia, war had spread and brought us face to face with a situa- tion which entsiled our separation from our late fellow.-workers. He would readily understand that no one regretted this more than I.”
The British Ambassador declares
he handed a telegraphlc report of the conversation to the telegraph ofiica in Berlin for transmission, but that it never reached' the British Foreign Of- fice. That evening Herr Zimmerman, Under Secretary of State, called on Sir William Goschen and asked whe- ther the call for his passports was equivalent to a declaration of war. The ambassador replied that there had been cases where diplomatic re- lations had been broken off in which war had not ensued, but his instruc- tions showed that if a reply was not received by twelve o‘clock Great Bri- tain would take steps as her engage- ments required. ‘Herr Zimmerman said that it was in fact, a declaration of war, as Germany could not give the assurances required. Soon after- wards a fly-sheet was issued by the Berliner Tageblatt stating that Great Britain had declared war against Ger-
, many.
Mob Attacked tho Ambanador'| House
"Immediately," says the report, "an
exceedingly excited and unruly mob assembled before the Embassy and the police were overpowered. We took no notice of this until the crash' of glass and the landing of oobbleltonos in the drawing-room where we were all sitting warned ua that the situa-
tion was gettfna iinplsigasant."

POSITION IN
LONDON, Aug. 31--The Chronicle’s
military expert says this morning:
"The situation in Northeastern
France now becomes exceedingly cri- tical, aiid little information is likely to reach us until another battle has been fought.
“The Germans have brought up corps
after corps through Belgium, where their coniinunicatious are secure and the allies arc falling back. lt is greatly to be fearcil_tliat the French did not penetrate thc Gorman stragetlc plan and that troops had been diverted to a useless offensive on the Alsace and Lorraine borders, which should lin vc becii elsewhere.
“Tile fate of the lost proviiice.-i and
of much else will be decided, not on their own soil but by the German :ir- iuies which are llow contending. Dossi- bly on the line of Arrns, (Taml>rai,nnil Lc Catcau. There are no fortiilcatioini here, but on this linc or further u<i in thc rcai' field eiitrcncliniciits will have been prepared, and a. good de- fense should be made.
GERMAN MOBILITY SURFRISING
“But the Germans are nifivllig very
rapidly. Tiicir iuobillty is surprising, and it is attained lurgcly by thc usc of motor vehicles, some of them carry- ing gulls, alid all by their service car- rying iiicil to positions far udvuliccd.
“1\‘rom the very beginning of the cani-
paigii they have thrown their whole wciglit on the allied left wing, :ind there can be little doubt that they will endeavor to practice the some strate- gy in the new situation.
“This it is that gives such critical
importance to the battle which has now begun. if the Germans should be able to strike south between Amicus and the sea they would get nstridc our communications and by a danger of this kind may possibly cause a further rctireuieiit.
"There is still ground for the hope
that the German ndvaiice may be re- pelled. Thc British troops have cover- ed themselves -with glory, and the nu- tion is proud of thorn, but in thc great battle tlicy must coliform to the move- ment of their allies, and in this new position of affairs they must look after themselves and their communications.
“lt is important that our troops
should be in communication with their base and that they slinll receive a con- stant stream oi' reinforcements, am- niuiiition and slorcs.
WARNING TO THE NATION
The liioruing llosifs military corres-
pondent publishes a grave warning i-
tiic nntioii. iii- says:
“A li-irgc iiunilier of ilio British peo-
plc show an cxtraordiiinry inability to nppreciiiic thc gravity ol’ the prcsciit situation on the Freiicli frontier. The fortulic of war is liazardcil on one throw. Defeat is irrcmedialilc.
