THE GREATEST R I I

The Unbounding Enthusiasm in -the Motherland Finds Echo in

Prince Edward Island ________ _

V London. Aug. 6--_-All Great Britain is writhing in the grip of the war fever. The old

Anglo-Saxon eagerness for battle once it is precipitated is shown in the faces of the people watching bulletin boards and in the enthusiasm with which the news of naval and land engagements are being followed. Everybody recognises that the British Government exerted itself to avert 'the_great calamity that has befallen Europe, and the decision of the Government to act promptly in line with France. Russia and Belgium in resisting German aggression is universally applauded.

_ The h_um of commerce has been suppressed by the tramp of armed men and strains of

martial music. Business is at a standstill and the appeal of the War-Office for men to fight for King and country in the “Greatest war in the world`s history" has met with amazing response.

Fully 1,500,000 men,.acco1-ding to present indications. are available for the land forces

of the Country. .

The greatest enthusiasm prevails in

the United Kingdom over the war. 'l‘hc old Anglo-Saxon determination to do or die' is cliuracteristictif the people everywhere met. Germany has sought her quarrel, and thc feel- ing is that she should be made to re- gret forever having disturbed ibn peace of Europe. _ Italy is almost céiuun to threw in mr lui vnu liri- tain, France and Russia, and is like- ly to declare war on Austria just as soon as Germany breaks oil diplonm- tic relations with her.

Fears for a commercial panic have

been eased by. the reduction in the Bank rate from 10 to 6 per cent., and the Chancellor of the Exche-

4|uor’s unnouncouzieut that the situa- tion does not wurrnnt recourse to u paper currency.

’I`be first decisive sea fight between

Britain and Germany took place oil

Liege was shattered by Belgian aer- ial guns and the occupants, six ofll- cers, killed. A small German de- tachment at Argentn. was surprised and cnt to pieces by Lit-lgians.

'l`wo Lieruiau spies were arrested ni;

Brussels with important papers und will be shot.

.\‘o far all the honors of war are

with Englnnd’s allies, and it is 'said to be the objective of the Brit-

:ish fleet to destroy the Kiel"Uniia'l,'

now protected by Herman warships. l Une of the sequels to the outbreak of the war is _to enhance the impor- 'tance of the port of Halifax as u harbour of refuge. Yesterday two transatlantic liners were escorted by a llritish ue/in-of-war to that port.

Ili liondon yesterday afternoon the

Prime Minister made a strong speech in defense of liritain's participation in the war, declarinl.; that she would have been i-Tuilty of au infamous nc-

Tile latter had left Ham- burg to act as guard to a ileruiv-u mine-laying vessel, when the 'Tliird Flotilla appeared and engaged in bus- tilities. After a stern five-hours fight in which the mine-layer was sunk, the Geruinus surrendered. lt was then learned that over a hun- dred Germans had been killed, null two hundred were taken prisoners and conveyed to Harwich, I-Ingluufl. The only casualties to the _English were seventy wounded, while the fing- ship Amphiou was temporarily dis- abled. "‘

The first fruits of war were several German vessels brought into har- bor by British cruisers, others were linpounded in port. This was the day's only news so far as British naval and military operations are concerned. _

LONDON, Aug. 6 -Details of the first sea iight

which took place on Wednesday off the Dutch coast herald a splendid victory for the English. It lasted five hours, Seventy English were wounded, while more than a hundred Germans were killed. ~ The ships engaged were the English Third Flotilla and the German Flying Squadron, which had been sent out to Drotect the German mine-laying operations.

It was in this fight that the Hamburg-American

Liner Koenigin Luise, which had been equipped with mine laying apparatus, was sunk by the British, and and shortly after two German cruisers surrendered to the British. The Ampion, the Flagship of the Third English _squadron was the only British ship sustaining anynoticeable injury. Her batteries were put out of commission temporarily, by a shell from one of the Ger- man cruisers. More than 200 Germans, who were taken from the cruisers which surrendered were landed at Harwich, England, and are being held there.

A torpedo boat took 28 wounded to the Shortley

Naval stn., just opposite Harwich, while scores of other wounded were landed at the latter place. Some of the ublic buildings are being turned into temporary
