'But it was not until unday morning, August 2nd, that the people in English country towns heard the fateful news that,Germany had 'declared war against Russia. Many heard the grim message at church, at the morning service. As the majority of ministers in England referred to the coming war either in their prayers or in their sermons, it was a day of gloom, relieved only by the very faint hope that Great Britain might 'find it possible to escape being drawn into the strug- gle. At the church which I attended the minister read as a scripture les- son the 46th Psalm, prefacing the reading by announcing in a voice trembling with emotion the news that Germany had proclaimed war against Russia, and that Burope Buckwheat ...... ..... ...$ 9.00 per ton Egg, Stove and Nut ........$16.00 per ton All coal carried 50c. per ton extra.

The best of this awful business which has come upon us so suddenly is that it will be a war carried on in the name of righteousness. No na- tion could be enlisted in a more worthy cause; the ruthless violation of Belgium's treaty rights by Ger- many and her cynical devotion to a blood and iron policy, even though her appeal to the- sword excite the contempt of the whole civilized world, will send Britain's soldiers and sailors to the front with clear consciences and willing hearts, for they know they are out to protect the weak against the strong, to de- fend thelr friends, and, to make lib- erty and the will of God prevail. |Cherries, 12 qts .... .. .. . wea 1b After reading Sir Edward Grey's speech in the Commons, no lover of Garden, Produce, truth could fail to be convinced of | Onions. ... the justice of our cause.

And while we were sitting there in the Ipswich garden, we knew that Sir Edward Grey was making his | statement at Westminster, laying down, on behalf of the Cabinet, the policy which would either make of England an ignoble spectator or a belligerent in the coming conflict of the nations. How anxious we | were to know how the die would be cast! And as I sat there I realized that millions of quiet Englishmen, in their gardens that afternoon, were waiting for the tremendous word of peace or war from London. Shortly after the tea hour it came. My little boy had béen dispatched on his wheel for the London evening papers, and when he came back two or three of us ran to meet him. When we read that Sir Edward Grey had declared that Great Brita would not permit the German fleet i to enter the Channel or to molest THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG .
