LA GUERRE

Pourquoi l'Europe, qui entasse depuis trente ans des soldats et des engins de dest:uction, en est elle aujourd’hui réduite à n’avoir plus d'autre issue à la situation, appa- remment inextricable, que ses sages et Ses grands politiciens lui ont faite, que de se lancer dans une guerre générale, qui sera ‘peut être la plus terrible boncherie hu maine que les siècles vnt jamais vue? Comment se fait il qu'arcune entente, aucune couciliation, au- cuue intelliyence ne semble tiou- vables ? que personne ne puisse indiquer les conditious d'une paix possible ? x

Quel intérêt, quel mobile, quelle espérance poussent aujourd’hui, les uns contre les autres toutes ces nations naguère réputées les plus avancées dans les voies du progrè- civilisateur et humanitaire ?

Quelie cause teur l'uu ou l'autre des groupes euvemis atil a cCéfendre ou a promouvoir ?

Hélas! il est bien difficile de le dire.

Quel sera en effet le résultat de la lutte effroyable qui va commen- cer? Dieu seul le sait, et nersonte sur terre me peut le prévoir avec un peu de certitnde.

GREAT BAITA

London, Angust 4—The British foreign office issued the following statement:

“Owing tothe summary rejection by the German gov- ernment of the request made by His Britannic Majesty's Government that the neutrality of Belgium shouid be res- pected His Majesty's ambassador at Berlin has received his passports, and His Majesty’s Goverument has Geclared to the German government that a state of war exists between Great Britain and Germauy from 11 o’clock p. m. August 4. ä

Great Britain declared war'‘on Germany tonight. The momentous decision of the British government, for which the whole world had been waiting, came before the expira- tion of the time limit set by Great Britain in her ultimatum o Germany demanding a sétisfactory reply in respect to Belgian “cttrality.

Germany’s reply was the summary rejection of the re- quest that Belgian’s neutrality should be respected.

The British ambassador at Berlin th2reupon received his passports, and the British government mnotified Germany that a state of war existed between the two countries.

All Europe is now in arms. Ou the one hand, Austria- Hungary and Germauy are opposed by Russia, France and Great Britain, Servia and Montenegrs.

Italy has declared her neutrality, but is mobilizing.

Belgium, Holland and Switzerlaud have mobiiizei. The German demand that the Belgian government should per- mit the free passage of German troops through Belgium was answered by hasty preparations to 1esist such an ad- vance across Belgian territory.

Sweden has made no answer to inquiries from Russia and Germany regarding her attitude, but is preparing to defend her neutiality, Japan is making ready to live up to ‘her alliance with Great Britiar, in case of certain eventualities.

Spaiu is reported to be preparing a proclamation of neu- trality.

Austria Hungary for the moment has retired fiomfher campaign against Servia for the purpose of holding back Russia, and Servia has mobilized with the reported îinten tion ot invading Bosian.

Opposition to the war has been almost dissipated by the events of the past twerty-four hours, except from a section of organized labor.

The London papers, the Chronicleand the Daily News, have come into line, and are supporting the governmeut.

The Manchester Guardian and the {abor papers are vir- tually alove in antagoniziog the government’s policy. The Guardian, representing the great commercial interest of Lancashire, continues its violent opposition. It says:

‘‘It is mockery to throw on the House of Commons, at a moment’s uotice aud iu circumstances of great excitement,

“he responsibility for deciding on a policy that has been maturing for years‘.

Viscount Bryce, the former ambassador at Washington heads the signers of a manifesto expressing the hope that the government has not exhausted the possibilities of dip- lomacy.

David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, an- nounced in the House of Commons his scheme for insuring shipping against war risk 3.

‘Because this scheme is promulgated in the midst of an emergency,’” said the chancelior, ‘‘it isnot in any sense a panic scheme prepared in an emergency‘.

The committee of Imperial Defence has labored on the plan for more than a year, he said, its aim was that in case of war British commerce should not be interrupted by ina- bility to secure war risks, and that to insure that insurance rates should not go so high asto cause any consi:erable rise in prices,

‘We are perfectiy convinced’’, he continned, ‘‘that with

the protection of the British navy we can make certain of that vital condition.’‘

The work isto be undertaken by the State Iusurance Office, with a flat rate premium capable of variation from time to time. The goverument, he said, was insuriog eighty per cent of the hulls of vessels. In respect to voyages cur: rent ou the outbreak of war, no premium would be charge i but it would afterwards,

The chaucellor expressed the hope that the time for put- ting the scheme into operation had not arrived, but, if it had the plan would de something to relieyve the anxiety of the shippiug of the mercantile world.

À royal proclamation today appealed to all citizens inthe present crisis to respect the orders of ali military and civil officials, and 10 render them all assistance in their work.

By auother proclamation the government took control of the railways which are to be operated by a committee,

The complete prepareduness of the government to place all the machinery of the courtry on a war footing in which Germany has been supyosed to be far ahead of her neighbors, came as a revelation to th: people who, in or- dinary times are chronic grumbiers over the government’s snpposed backwardness in military organizations.

Vice-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, in whom the nation re- poses the utmost confidence, has been gazetted commander of the British fleets. Field Marshal Earl Kitchener will un- doubtedly take charge of the army. The announcement js made that he has been called to the war office for adminis- trative work, without his status being designated, but it. is not probable that he wouid occupy a subordinate posi- tion,

(PARLIAMENT GF CANADA SUM- MONED TO MEET TUESDAY, AUG., 18TH

Parliament of Canada s sum- moned to meet;on Tuesday, Aug., 18th. The first business of Parlia. mevt will be to vote funds required for defence purposes and to ratify the Governor General’s warrants, which have already been issued. Parliament is likely to remain in continuous session until peace is declared.

Union within the county and within the walls of parliament should exist. This union cannot be effected uuder a political faction or administration machine,

A practical manner by which union might be arranged ,carrying with it the partisan influences of the different political factions would be, to have an administra- tion composed of the ablest men from all political parties. If all po- litical parties were represented in an administration it would soon uuite the people of all parties and draw them into line for harmony and union, which appears urgently essential.

If would prove at #mbearable task to those attempting to caffy the load of respousibility with@ut the moral support of the county; it should not be premitted under aty circumstances, no aïatter what ambitious politiciatis might be willing to risk: at. ‘the es of the-country.

It is the duty of every man to stand bythe defence of the Buitish Empire, but public men must not follow persôrial inciination s. If respect for the duty we oôwe Bri- tian at this time of crisis in wanting by those in high office, how can respect for government be expected of the citizens of a country ? There is nothing in conquering others in order to appease personal ambition, wiews or gain. Men whose visions are hampered by private interests shouli not assume the resçonsibi- lity of steering the ‘‘ship of state’’ in times like the present,

In order to bring about harmony within the county just and truth- ful policies should be adopted. Credit for what is done should be placed where it belongs.

The crucial time has come. Ca- nadians m#us{ stand to the fore and brave the calamnities which generally follow war times aud every canadian must show that manbhood riugs iu his heart as it

throbed in the bosom of his auces- tors from France and Englard.
