along the border. At present they have the advantage of
position in most places as rivers separate Austrian from
Servian soil the whole way a ound and the crossing is dif

work of defense.
BERLIN, August 1.—The kaiser electrified the empire
today when, speaking to the populace from the palace, he
declared in stentorian tones that if Germany is forced to
draw her sword she will make her enemies remember it.
Huge throngs gathered in front of the palace and wild
ly cheered the emporer again and again until he came out
and delivered a ringing war speech.
“If we are unable to induce our opponents (o maintain
peace,” he cried, “we must wield the sword and show the
world what it means lo provoke the German empire”.
The vast throngs of people went almost wild at the
words and deafening cheers again and again rent the air.
Never was more tremendous enthusiasm witnessed in this
or any other city. The peop’e arc as one man at the back
of the government.
At the close of his great war speech the kaiser exhort
ed the populace to go to the churches and kneel in prayer
that heaven might aid the army if war must come. Every
word he uttered breathed defiance while it spoke of peace
and the whole speech revealed a full confidence in the abil
ity of the empire to conquer.
The reiehstag has been summoned to meet on Tuesday
for the purpose of voting funds for the war if a settlement
does not come beforehand. The temper of the people
makes it certain that any sum asked for must be granted.
ST. PETERSBURG. August 1.—Martial law was de
clared in Finland yesterday in preparation for war. The
Russian government considered it necessary to tie the
hands of the Finlanders in this manner to make it easier
to suppress any attempt at rebellion when the Russian
armies are in action. It is believed also that Finland
would be made the scene of invasion by the Germans if
they manage to reach it.
NE WYORK, August 1.—Transatlantic freight and
passenger tra(lie is at a complete standstill and never were
such conditions experienced before in the history of the
world. The great transatlantic liners are lying idle in
many instances and those that are traveling are doing so
practically empty. If the end of the world were expected
such an extraordinary state of affairs could hardly be
more intensified. This city speaks of nothing else and the j
papers are running off extra editions literally by the hun
dreds. Crowds surround the bulletin boards all over the j
city almost all day and night and the subject of war is on !
all tongues.
RIO DE JANEIRO, August 1.—A financial crisis of
the most serious kind now exists in this country due to the
threatened war in Europe. The government has been un
able to secure a loan from Europe and cannot meet the de
mands now made on it from some of the countries in
volved. It was found necessary today to decide on an
issue of notes to tide over the difficulty but conditions are
becoming constantly worse and very grave results are
looked for. j

only nonsense in socialistic principles.
