Germany is very anxious to locate the responsibility for this war, and the German war council, which Emperor William, has no hesitation in saying that it rests with Russia. The czar knew what was going on, the gradual encroachment of Austria on his territory and his, people, and began to mobilize his troops. The prac tice of fitting men, and units of men, into their places, for active service, is not regarded as an innocent pas- time. Nations have mimic wars an- nually, and delude themselves with the idea that they are going through an experience that bears' a striking similarity or likeness to actual war. The czar's method of numbering his men and seeing where they were, caused the war, says the kaiser. ' But knows better is this German despot He kpows that his own country has been séething with discontent, that the German anpire has been burdened with militiarism, that socialism has been growing, and that it was only a question of time until a change had to come in the manner of ruling the people.

A Naval Ode composed by Thomas Campbell in the year 1800 when there was a prospect of war with Russia and France : Ye mariners of England ! That guard our native seas; Whose flag has braved, a thousand years, The battle and the breeze !

IS PERHAPS MERELY TO INVES2 LIEGE. Prevent Interference With Advance Westward -- England Remains Calm In' The Crisis. London, Aug, 8.--Referring to the Belgian situation, Col. Reping- ton, military expert to The Times, says: "It was generally supposed that if Germany were to violate Belgian neutrality she would send eight or nine army corps and a corps of cav- alry to attack France through Bel- gium. The aggregate strength of such an amy would probably be about 400,000 men, and it is pro- bably the advanced guard of this ar- my, or perhaps the right flank guard, which has come into collision witha the Belgians near Liege. This fort- ress holds firm, apd the German at- tempts to surprise the bridges over the Meuse and throw over others have hitherto failed. "It is possible, however, that the German attack on this side is de- signed only to invest Liege to pre- vent interference with a German ad- vance westward, south of the Meuse. it these eight or nine army corps are to advance through Belgium it will probably be on a broad front on the general line of Liege to Luxem- bourg, and the duty of their advan- ced guards will be to facilitate the advance of the main columns in their rear."

When 'the liberals showed fight, and it became apparent that the polls could not be stormed or barri- caded in the interest of the govern- ment, new thctics were adopted. The liberal candidate became the object of special attention, from his partner business, and his partner was too closely identified with the government to be harmless in his interests. The result was a remarkable disappearance on' the part of the liberal candidate, after he had resigned, and he has not since returned to his old haunts to ex- plain what had happened.

The British press generally is_dis- playing calmness and restraint. The sole exceptions are the Northcliffe papers. The Evening News issued pla- cards 'calling Germany "the mad dog of Europe' and articles about "the spy peril," which are calculated to inflame popular feeling against inof- fensive German residents. ENGLISH WOMEN SEEK T0 ENTER PRIESTHOOD on Claims of Their High Service. London, Aug. 8.--The latest fem- inine ambition is to enter the minis- try. Ordination of women to the priesthood of the church of England is rapidly becoming a matter of prac- tical politics in certain church cir- cles. Matters have gone so far that a conference of clergymen's wives and qualified church workers is likely to be held in the near future to discuss this new and startling departure from recognized custom. A great mail has been dispatched far and near and the bulk of the replies received fa- vors both the conference and the or- dination of women. The church, which is always con- servative, is, of course, opposed to the step. They may sit on church ous occasions. Mr. Amey responded in a suitable manner, his innate wit and repartee have not diminished in; the least, as all present testified. , Each family represented came heav- ily laden with all the good things! for which this community is noted.!
