London, Aug. 5—King George j
-.hi* morning issued an order
’ mobilizing the British army,
■and every regiment is now up
to its full fighting strength.;
and hundreds of thousands on j
the waiting list. It is believed I
tha; several of the richer land-j

‘country will equip regiment*
vi their own expense. A report
comes from Brussels this morn j
: g that Germany has declared :
war on Belgium.
Berlin, Aug. 5—The Kaiser
this forning addressed a speech ;
,; the world declaring that Re*
*-a and France had forced war
on Germany, which had resort- ]
ed to the sword only after ex
hausting every possible means
v.o maintain peace. He went in
';o the mat .er from the German
standpoint 3nd concluded by
--.ating that the arms os' a unit
ed Germany had always been
'victorious and would certainly
'prevail in the present crisi*.
The price of food stuffs Is
*teadiiy climbing throughoui I
Germany, and much suffering;
among the poorer classes is
certain. —
The Kaiser has notified the
United State* that Germany
would transport American*
now m that country to the bor—
\ier or the seacoast if America:
would supply steamers to take
them home.
Washington. Aug. 5—Presi
de-.! Wilson signed a procla
mation today declaring th-1
neutrality of the United State*

:.• !. and has so notified the
world.

Washington, A-jg. 5—The
German ambassador formally j
notified the Government today
that a *tate of war exi*!ed \n
*ween hi* country and Russia
and France.
Rome. Aug. 5—The Depart
ment f War announces tod-v
that the mobilization of the
Italian army is complete. A
*trong undercurrent against
Germany and the KaiT-er'
.method* is growing through
out the land.
Athens, Aug. 5—It it under- j
-tool here that Turkey has or-j
dered a general mobilization of
her Army and navy. This rum- <
or cast* a cloud of apprehen-j
*ion over the Balkans. It is of j
course a well-known fact that;
she is under obligation* to j
Germany.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 5—Czar]
Nichola* this morning issued a!
manifesto denying that Russia]
bad precipitated the present ■
war. but rather had begged
* j
Germany to use its influene • i

Paris, Aug. 5—A second Gei-j
man force has crossed the fron-1
tier into France near Marsta-;
tour. Gen Joffre, the French ]
Commander-in-chief, left for
the frontier last night and will
lake personal command of the j
first line of defense
Nish. Servia. Aug.5—A bloody]
battle was fought near Semen
dria. Monday, which resulted j
in the Austrian forces being
utterly defeated, leaving thou
sands of dead and wounded on
the battlefield. This removes;
all opposition to an invasion of]
Austria by Servia.
Berlin. Aug. 5—After several
sharp skirmishes German i
iroops have occupied the towns
of Centochowa, Bendzig and
Kalish in Russian Poland. The
Russian soldiery are apparently
no match for the Germans, 10
difficulty being experienced in
driving them out of their posi
tions. It is believed that a;
strong column will be sent a- ‘
cross Russia from the point
now held.
London, Aug. 5—It is believed j
here that the German plan of
campaign is to overwhelm
France by superiority of num
bers leaving just enough troop
on her eastern borbers to keep
the Russians busy and then
having disposed of the French'
to give her attention to Russia
Thi: is supposed to have been
her plan before the interjection
of England into the fight, but
the coming of the latter will
force a change, as troops will
probably be landed in Germany
itself, probably in the neighbor
hood of Hamburg, and thn
country cut in two. It is a fore
gon conclusion that the Ger
man fleet will either be bottled
up or destroyed and so put out
of the running.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY
London. Aug. 6—The govern
ment wireless picks up th’.
news today that a naval battk
between vessels of Germany
and England is being fought in
the North Sea apparently with
considerable loss on both sides.
The first intimation was over
hearing a number of wireless
signals authorizing the vessels
of one of the squadrons of the
Channel fleet to engage the
enemy. Later, a message war •
received from a torpedo boat
de-troyer stating that she was
coming in with two hundred;
prisoners on board picked up
when one of the German ves
sel; went down. The message,
terse and to the point concluded
with the statement that the
German vessels were being
demolished by the concentrat
ing fire of England’s dread
noughts and must either sur
render or be sunk.
Seattle. Aug.. 6—The first
class cruiser Milwaukee ha
been sent to Vancouver and
Victoria to protect American in.
ferests in the event of any;
trouble there.
Quebec. Aug. ©—The entire
SL Lawrence river is Lein?
mined and all traffic is sus
pended. No vessels have =ail
ed for several days.
Berlin. Aug. 6—An untimat
um was sent to Italy Tuesday
notifying her that unless she
came to the aid of her allies!
Germany and Austria; those!
two countries would declare
war on her. Italy’s answer
has not been received a? yet.
Berlin, Aug. 6—A detachment
of the Russian patrol is. report
ed to have advanced ten miles
info Germany. The.,- are said
to have returned across the bor
der.
Paris. Aug. ©—Thousands of
German^ fell in the fighting in
front of Liege yesterday when
a mixed force of Belgians and
French defeated the advancing
German columns. The Ger
mans were utterly defeated and

the Cabinet and would assnm?
the duties of his office without1
delay.
The Hasue. Aug. 6—Martial ;
law wa? formally declared in
all parts of Holland today. Th**
affair was a most impressive
one. as Holland and The Hague
have long stood as the synonym
of peace and the Hollander
hated to take anv steps that
might be construed as depart
ing from their custom. Ger
many's attitude however is
such that the action of the
Grand Council is the only thing
that can be done in self de
fense to preserve the rights of
the country.
Washington, Aug. 6—Leaders
of all parties in this city are
pleased with the President’s of

meeting of the Cabinet la;f
night, President Wilson sent
a long message to England.
Germany. France. Russia, Aus
tria and Servia offering hi*
services a* mediator in the
present troubles in Europe.
There is no idea in administra
tion circles however that the
offer will be accepted by an>
of the countries at least until
they have had a chance l>
measure sword- with thei*
enemies, but the concensus o!
opinion of the cabinet is that
it is well to have it thorough!'
understood that the Unite-"
States is ready at any or al!
limes to act for them.
London, Aug. 0—An officio’
declaration of war was receiv
ed from Germany early yester
day morning evidently mad'
about the same time Englari
had taken the -sme step a
gainsf Germany.
London, Aug. 6—Particular
of the battle yesterday betweer
French war vessels and a squad
ron of German ships were re
ceived today. The fight oc
curred off the coast of Algeri
and as the result the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslai
were captured after a fierce er
gagement, and the Panther
another German cruiser, wa
sunk. The French vessels ha
every advantage in the figh1
being bigger and more heavih
armed than the Germans, an*
almost two to one in number

Bar Harbor, Maine, Aug. 6—
The big German steamer Kron
Prinzessin Cecilie with ten mil
lions of dollars on board, con
signed to German bankers, re
