Londen, Aug. 4.--Britishers, to-day, commemorate the anniversary of declaration of war belween Great Britain and Germany with confidence and hope backed up by universal labor and self-sacrifice. With the beginning of the fourth year of the terrific struggle with an absolutely unprincipled and merciless foe, Britain realizes that on her shoulders and those of Ameriea will now rest the terrific weight of the re- mainder of the war. There is no quavering, however, in any class of the British people. Sacrifices have been great, and may be still greater. The burden has been heavy but will be | have from around and Seanvoorde, still harder to bear, but through it all there is « quiet; definite] résolution" **"We will work and fight to beat Germany, and we must werk and fight, till Germany is beaten' that is the message of the Britis people to Canada and the rest of the _celonies to-day. . - NERNESKY 1S NEAR 10 - ~ DICTATOR OF ALL RUSSIA .

General's Ultimatam. Petrograd, Aug. 4.--No informa- tion has yet been vouchsafed regard- ing the results of the important meet ing at Field Headquarters at which the fighting generals, commanders- in-chief, past and present, together with former Minister of War Guch- koff, met Kerensky. From intima- 'tions received, I gather that the fight- ibg generals have placed before Ker- ensky what amounts to an ultimatum from the officers of Russia's armies. No country can go on sacrificing officers' costly and valuable lives, as happened in Galicia, for reasons per- fectly understood by the whole body of Russia's fighting forces. It has been explained by those who know best that the army must be entirely outside politics. Therefore the fight. ing generals lay down that hence- forth the armies must be regarded solely as fighting men and not as con- yenient nurseries for propagating theories of political fanatics, Fur- thermore, armies to be efficient in- struments of victory must rest upon sound organization of the rear, in- deed of the whole, country. If decessary changes are not im- mediately effected, the fighting gen- erals, and with them doubtless every officer worthy of the name, will ten- der their resignations as being -an- able to carry on the. war to a victor: ous end. Under any other c¢opdi- tions, there is no answer to such an expression of expert" opinion except submission. War Tidings. Premier Kerensky will renew the Russian war pledge at an all-Russian conference in Moscow on Sunday. The French are again on the of- fensive near Verdun. Many prison- ers and supplies were taken on Fri- day, incluing three guns. Following a conference with the Ita)ian, Russtan and Serbian missions Premier Lloyd George saw the King on Friday.

Petrograd, Aug. 4.---The Mother Superior of the Pikhvinsk Convent, in the Province of Voronezh, has been kidnapped and placed in jail in the city of Voronezh by the Couneil of s | Peasants' - Deputies. The convent owns vast lands, which are leased to peasants, who, after the revolution refused to pay the rent and also de- clined to till it, Mother Superior Nina, after 'de- nouncing the peasants for their lack of patriotism, organized a corps of nuns to work the land. This result- ed in a violent collision. The peas- ants besieged the nuns in a nelly but were repulsed.
