morning to ARRIVE at conclusion. The

"a German officer, who was in the contin-

when the question was pending $4,000 Ger
man cavalrymen, armed and equipped
ready for action, stood at their horses
heads all night, awaiting possible orders
from Berlin. There would have been no
formal declaration of war, no proclamation
to the waiting public; but ii Berlin mad
given the word France would have wakea
up the next morning with 10000 German
cavalry thirty miles across her frontier.
