The Cars manifesto has been made a,
last, and the Russians are crossing the
Pruth. Hereafter the red hand of war
will be seen playing a desperate game in
Europe. The ball is open, and before the
war dance has ceased all the Old World
may have part to play in the conflict
The Russians, on crossins into Roumanian
territory, found the RoumaniAn forces will.
ing to retire before them, under the pre-
tense that they had received no preliminary
notification, and consequently yielded to
force in order to avoid a conflict. This
shows how thoroughly Roumania sympa.
thises with tbs Russians, and 1t is proof
that Roumanian territory will be the the
atre Of desperate war. The moment the
Turkish Government learns that the Rus
sian sappers have crossed the Roumanian
border it will undoubtedly order the Turks
now encamped on the southern bank of the
Danube to cross over and enter Roumsnian
territory, in order to meet the foe in what
may now be called neutral country. A
big battle will soon be fought.

Ind plenty OF work to do. As has been stated
before in these columns, the Russian Govern
ment, seeing that the American markets must
necessarily furnish to the con ending Po.ers
gre=' amount Of var material and bread

sailing vessels 10 our shores for the express
purpose, no doubt, of protecting Russia's
commerce and destroying ss much Of her
foes as possible. And adied to this condition
OF things Is the fact but recently made known
that Eagiand will soon have four or nys OF

makes II apparent that our osn navy will b,

ousiy employed In preventing tnfaetions Of
