London, Aug. 5.--Great Britain
declared war on Germany last night.
The momentous decision of the
British government, for which the
whole world had been waiting, came
before the expiration of the time
limit set by Great Britain in her ulti-
matum to Germany demanding a
satisfactory reply on the subject OF
Belgian neutrality.
Germany's reply was the summary
rejection Of the request that Belgian
neutrality should be respected.
The British ambassador st Berlin
thereupon received his passports and
the British Government notified Ger
many that a state of war existed be-
tween the two countries.
The British foreign office has issu-
ed the following statement:
Owing to the summary rejection
by the German government of the
request made by His Britannia Ma
jesty's government that the neutral
ity of Belgium should be respected,
His Majesty's ambassador at Berlin
has received his passports, and His
Majesty's government has declared
to the German government that a
state of war exists between Great
Britain and Germany from II o'clock
p. M, Aug. A."
All Europe is in arms.
On the one hand Austria-Hungary
and Germany are opposed by Russia,
France, Great Britain, Servia and
Montenegro.
Italy has declared her neutrality
but is mobilizing. Belgium, Hol-
land and Switzerland have mobiliz-
ed.
Germany's demand that the Bel
gian government should permit the
free passage of German troops
through Belgium was answers by
hasty preparations to resist such an
advance across the Belgian territory.
|. Sweden has made no answer to in
quiries from Russia and Germany
regarding her attitude, but is pre-
pairing to defend her neutrality.
Japan is making ready to live up
to her alliance with Great Britain in
case of certain eventualities.
Spain is reported to be preparlng a
proclamation of neutrality,
Austria Hungary for the moment
has retired from her campaign
against Servia for the purpose of
holding back Russia, and Servia has
modified with the reported inten-
ton of invading Bosnia.

Stanley People Take Steps To,
Protect interests In Vari-
GUS Counties.
CLAIM RACE Is VERY CLOSE.
Doubt Still Exists As to Who
Won Republican Senate
rial Nomination.

Louisville, ny, Aug. 0.-COngress-
man A. o. Stanley, of Henderson,
who remains in Louisville, positively
refuses to concede the nomination Of
J. c. W. Beckham for the Democrat
ic nomination for the long term SEN
atorship despite the small apparent
lead of the latter, and is awaiting
the result of the official count. which
is in progress in each county of the
State.
Corrected returns received at the
Stanley headquarters from nearly
every county in the State, it was
stated, showed irregularities in some
counties sufficient to wipe out the
lead shown for Beckham on the face
of the returns. In the First and
Second districts alone, the Stanley
managers assert, Beckham's lead has,
been cut down by over 700 votes anC
the same condition exists with re-
spect to nearly every other district.
Steps have been taken by the Stan
ley people TO protect the interests Of
the Henderson man at the oAfcia,
count, which is expected to disclose
other irregularities, besides increas~
ing Stanley's total vote.
This is the same old stall Of the
opposition, said Stanley manager,

thereof without any regard to the
real facts. They know this race is
close, in fact, closer than they like
to admit"
According to information received
at Stanley headquarters, Campbell
and Kenton counties gave Mr.. Stan
ley about 400 votes each more than
the first returns showed
Late returns from Fulton county

according to Stanley workers and
revised figures from Pike county in
crease his count by 81. 1t was said
at Stanley headquarters that the
official count of the vote in Jefferson
county would show that Mr.. Stanley
received 223 more votes than he was
accredited with on the night Of the
primary.

that only sixteen persons voted f1r
the Second district Congressman.
" If there was crookedness. WR
mean to unearth it, ," said Stau.ey
worker at headquarters, and We
shall spare no expense in the undsr-
taking"
Mr.. Stanley gave out a statement
in which he said that the race be-
tween him and Mr.. Beckham was
very close, and that he believed an
accurate count of the vote would
show a difference not in excess Of
1000.

Octandria is the name of a

Octandria Sanitarium-Health
Resort.
The location is ideal for Kansas
City, Springfield, St,Louis, Mem

which have hundreds of people
annually seeking an, opportunity
to spend a few weeks in some
quiet, cool, healthful, and econo-
mical place.
A bathing pool will be built
right inNhe sanitarium for use in
the winter months, and a beach
at the lake for the summer bath
ing.
The chemical analyses of two
springs close to Mansfield have
shown that the springs contain
properties of medicinal value.
The locations are ideal spots for
the building of a sanitarium.
