BRITAIN HAS
ENTERE^CONFLICT
(Continued from page 1.)
Germany may be forced to enter the
army as the government has always
held that, all German born citizens
who leave to avoid military service
are not to be considered as having
lost citizenship in Germany. Many
(have been arrested in time of peace
and have been expelled from the
country in spite of the protest of
America and otter nations.
Millions to Aid Americans.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—President
Wilson has urged congress to ap
propriate an additional $2,600,000
with which to aid the Amercans
stranded abroad. The reports from
consuls in all sections of Europe in
tdicate that more than one million
■are stranded in the countries involv
ed in the war. That 50,000 are in
(Norway and many more in Sweden;
thousands in Switzerland, many in
Italy and Spain and all unable to
return because of the lack of steam
| er sailings from the other side.
Banking Law Amended.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Both
houses of congress passed the amend
ment to the banking bill, allowing
the secretary of the treasury to loan
bullion to the banks. The amend
ment was passed at the request of
President Wilson because of the
need for bullion in the vaults of the
banks to stop the panicky feeling all
over the country. The need for funds
at this time has been tremendous.
New York is being drained by the
banks of Europe and also by the
farmers of the west demanding
money with which to harvest and
move the big crops of wheat now in
such demand ill Europe.
Powers Have Many Airships.
LONDON, Aug. 5.—The powers now
involved in the war combined have
2,000 aeroplanes and dirigibles.
Searchlights are constantly search
ing the skies watching for the Ger
man dirigibles should they attempt to
drop explosives on London.
United States Is Neutral.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—President
Wilson yesterday issued a proclama
tion of neutrality for the United
States. The proclamation includes
Germany, France, Austria, Russia
and Servia, which were the only
powers involved up to that time so
Tar as the Sfate department was of
ficially notlfier. Belgium had not
then been drawn into the fight.
As more countries become lnvolv
ed in the battle of nations further
proclamations will be Issued.
Kaiser Blames France.
BERUN, Aug. 6.—Kaiser William
issued a' statement today to the
friendly powers in which he blames
France and Russia for the present
trouble and the terrible loss of life
sure to follow.
French Planned Belgium Invasion.
The Kaiser also justified his march
through Belgium by stating that
France intended to Invade Germany
through Belgium and that it was
necessary for Germany to seize the

strategic points before they fell in
to the bands of the enemy.
French Liner to 8ail.
PARIS, Aug. 6.—The French liner
France will sail from Havre tomor
row with every berth filled and many
sleeping on the cushions. Because
of the inability of the company to
secure provisions here the ship will
sail with short rations and it is fear
ed that a famine will follow. In
spite of the fact that the passengers
know the ship is leaving with short
rations they are determined to go.
The prices of foodstuffs have gone
upward by leaps and bounds and
many are laying in supplies of flour
in case of need. The government has
taken charge of all the granaries
and will use the output for the army.
Holland Is Safe.
THE HAGUE, Aug. 5.—Germany
has officially notified the Dutch gov
ernment that they will respect the
neutrality of the Netherlands and
will not invade.
America Offers Mediation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—The
/American government has offered to
■mediat- the differences between the
'European powers in a hope of stop
ping the war. No reply has been
received by the State department but
it is believed that all concerned will
refuse the offer.
German Reesrves Called.
The German ambassador here has
wired to all the German consuls in
the United States to order German
reservists in America to report at
once to the consuls. The orders al
so include any reservists now in
Alaska. The German government has
called upon her sons to aid the
fatherland in the present crisis.
Austrians to Hold Russians.
VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 5.—The en
tire strength of the Austrian army Is
being sent to the Russian border and
also Into Germany. The Austrians
will make every effort to keep the
Russians busy bn the north and pre
vent them sending aid to France by
attacking the Germans in the rear.
Every able-bodied man in the coun
try has been called into service.
Armies Leave 8ervia.
The greater part of the army that
.was being concentrated on the Ser
vian border has been withdrawn and
will be used against the Russians.
Only enough Austrians to hold the
.border are to be left while the fight
between Austria and Russia is decid
ed. If victorious the Austrians will
then turn southward and march
through Servia.
Germany Rejects British Proposals.
LONDON, Aug. 5.—The Germans
rejected the British proposals to
maintain the neutrality of Belgium
and war was declared at midnight.
The orders were immediately sent to
all warships at sea to attack German
warships and German commerce.
Statistics Disease of Age.
Not satisfied with shelving all men
over sixty, along comes Dr. Osier
with the statement that ninety per
cent, of humanity are tubercular.
How discouraging! That leaves on
ly ten per cent, of efficiency in the
world. And perhaps when that ten
per cent, have been classified—diag
nosed and reduced to statistics—they
may prove Inferior goods, too. And
yet, in the face of this uniform inferi
ority, which is undoubtedly true and
capable of scientific explanation, the
.world seems .to move along. Doctors
and scientists are as zealous in fas
tening incurable diseases upon suf
fering humanity as are druggists in
labeling their bottles.
Tuberculosis is not the disease of
the age; the disease of ,the age is
statistics. Upon the tombstone of
this century one may expect to read:
"Reduced to Statistics."—Philadel
