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-
the Dutch (mast Un \vcd,,,,B(1_,\y_ 'pm' tion had shc made a bargain with
fleets engaged were the British 'l‘hird
Flotilla and the ilcruian Flying
Squadron. 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. "‘
flood news was received in Lourloli
of If.aly's steadfast adherence to its
declaration of ncutrf\lli»Y~ In "Ply
to flermany’s ultimatum, Italy said
that as Germany was the uLl5!r9H“\"

A great battle was fought between
the Belgluns and Germans in thc
Liege district on WcdnesdaY. “'\‘”“

(Canadian Press)
l.i)l\'i)0N, Aug. 6.--'|‘he first day of
war for llritnln has been n day of
suspense and rumors.
|qvery half hour a fresh “l<Ixf.ra"

are with -the fleet; also it is proud in
its confidence, livery one waits the
hulletin‘of a great bufflff-
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

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
