REPORT PORTUGAL AT WAR
MADRID, Oct. U—Reports of a reliable nature ar
riving from Lisbon this morning say that Portugal has
declared war against Germany. It is well known that the
Portuguese have been almost to a man in favor of Eng
land and the announcement made some time ago by the
government was almost tantamount to a declaration but
no formal severance of diplomatic relations had previous
ly taken place. ... i.i

LAST PERFORMANCE OE THE GREAT
Ivanhoe
TONIGHT 8 P. M.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10—Dr. von Be
thmann-Holhveg, the German Chan
cellor, early in September made a for
mal statement to The Associated
Press. The existence of the statement
was known but it failed to reach Am
erica by either mail or cable, and its
text has become available through a
copy of the North German Gazette,
just received here. The Chancellor’s
statement follows:
“General Headquarters, Sept. 2—I
do not know what is thought of this
war in America. I assume there have
been published in America the tele
grams exchanged between the German
Emperor, the Emperor of Russia and
the King of England, containing the
history of the events that preceeded
the outbreak of the war and which
bears irrefutable testimony of how the
Emperor until the last moment strove
hard to preserve the peace.”
“These efforts had to be futile, as
Russia under all circumstances had re-,
solved upon war, and as England,
which for decades had encouraged the
anti-German nationalism in Russia
and France did not avail herself of the
splendid opportunity offered her to
prove her often emphasized love of
peace, otherwise the war between Ger
many and France and England could
have been averted.
When once the archives are opened
the world will learn how. often Ger
many extended to England her friend'
ly hand, but England did not desire |
the friendship of Germany. Jealous
of the development of Germany and
feeling that by German efficiency and
German industry she has been _S’ir- j
passed in some fields she had the de-,
sire to crush Germany by brute force,
as sh« in former times subdued Spain,
Holland and France. She believed the
moment had arrived and therefore the
entry of German troops into Belgium
gave her a welcome pretext to take
part in the war.”
“Germany, however was forced to
enter Belgium because she had to
forestall the planned French advance
and Belgium only awaited this ad
vance to join Franee. That only a pre
text was involved as far as England
is concerned is proven by the fact that
already on the afternoon of August 2,
that is, prior to the violation of Bel-1
gium neutrality by Germany, Sir Ed
ward Grey assured the French Am
bassador unconditionally of the help
of England in case the German fleet
attacked the French coast.
