KAISER MAKES WAR SPEECH
Would Show Opponents What II
Means to Provoke Germany.
May Vote War Credit.


Berlin.-The German emperor made
war speech to the people of Berlin,
in which he expressed the hope that
If he was unable to induce his OPP
ponents to maintain peace, he would
WELD the sword and show his enc
mics what it means to provoke Ger
many.
Five thousand persons assembled in
front of the palace and cheered the
emperor and the empire. During the
demonstration Emperor William, from
a window, addressed his subjects as
follows:
"a fateful hour has fallen for Ger
many. Envious peoples everywhere
are compelling us to our just defense.
The sword has sheen forced into our
hands.
81 hope If my efforts at the last
hour do not bring our opponents to
see eye to eye with us, and maintain
the peace, we shall, with Gods help,
so WELD the sword that we shall re-
store 1t to it's sheath again with honor.
"War would demand of us an enor-
nous sacrifice in property and life.
but we shotlld show our enemies what
1t means to provoke Germany. And
now l commend you to God. Go to
church and kneel before God and pray
for His help for our gallant army" 3

Gallant MAYOR.

From small provincial town in the

town, to attend the unwilling Of a
statue of Victor Emanuel
After the mayor of the town had
made an elaborate speech of welcome,
he handed the queen glass of cham
payne, and asked to be allowed to
drink her health. AS their glasses
clinked, drop of champagne fell up
on the queens gown. She opened her
pocketbook to take out her handker-
chief, but the gallant mayor was not
to be caught on any point of etiquette.
Your majesty" he exclaimed, grand

thing is already paid for. youths

BIG BATTLE EXPECTED SOON
All Great Powers Are Modifying.
Skirmishes Promise That Big
Battle Is Coming.

London.-The first great battle Of
the war is but matter of short
time. Fragmentary reports Of Skin
mishes tell story of the opening OF
skirmishes which promises to be one
of the most historic battles in modern
warfare.
All the great European powers ex-
cept Italy and most of the secondary
powers are mobilizing with all their
energy. Mobilization has not as yet
reached a stage where any of the ar.
mics have met in battle.
Italy, which declared her neutrality,
will begin to mobilize officially, al
though the process probably is well
under way.
Great Britain's mobilization is near
ly completed, but she has not an
nounced that she will join in the gen.
eral war.
War officially exists between Aus
tria and Germany on one side and
Russia, Servia and Montenegro ON the
other. There had been no official dec
laration Of war between Germany and
France on either side. But the Ger
man ambassador in Paris received or
ders to demand his passports.
The most important event was Ger
niany's demand upon Belgium, in the
form Of 12-hour ultimatum, that the
German troops be permitted to cross
Belgium to the French frontier cou-
pied with the promise that Belgian in
tegrity should remain unimpaired at
the end of the war and that Belgium
refused to accede on the grounds Of
her rights and honor.

Then He Told Her.

Pat, who was in lodgings, was
greatly annoyed by the landlady's help
ing herself to his provisions. She be-
gan by taking piece OF his butter,
and when Pat came home she said
Pat, am taking little of your
butter, but I'm not like other land
ladies-rm telling you"
Next day it was an egg, and so on.
Every day there was something taken
and put off with the same remark:
I'm not like other iandladies-Im
telling you"
OF course there was never any re-
duction in Pats bill. One Saturday
his bill came to larger amount than
usual. Pat looked at it, bundled up a
few things in his handkerchief, walked
to the door and said:
Landlady, I'm sloping. I'm not like
other lodgers-Im telling you!"-

DIE IS CAST IN EUROPE
General War, Which Has Been Appre-
hension of European Statesmen
for Years, Is Here.

London In the European
crisis developed with startling rapid
ity. The German ultimatum to Rus
STA, demanding that Russia cease the
mobilization of her army, expired, and
the German emperor signed a mobili-
cation order.
The German ambassador at st. Pc
tersburg, Count Won Pourtales, deliv-
cred declaration of war In the name
of his government to the Russian gov
eminent and the entire staff of the
Embassy Immediately left st. Peters
burg.
Although after the warlike speeches
delivered by the German emperor and
the imperial chancellor at Berlin, no
other result could be expected, hopes
that the dread event might be averted
had been raised by the Intervention of
King George in st. Petersburg and the
fact that the German reichstag was
not to be convened until Tuesday.
Hence, the actual declaration of war
had not been expected.
Now the die is cast and Europe Is to
be plunged into a general war which
has been the apprehension of Euro
pean statesmen for generations. 1t
now is only question of how soon a
state of actual war will exist between
Germany and France.
Placards were posted in Paris call
ing for general mobilization. and the
German ambassador, although he had
not been handed his passports, was
preparing to leave the French capital.
1t is not known at exactly what
hour Germany's ultimatum to France,
asking that country to define what at
titude she would assume In case of
war by Germany and Austria against
Russia, was to expire, but 1t is be-
lieved 1t will not be long before diplo-
matte relations will be ruptured or
war declared.

AERIAL ATTACK FRUSTRATED

man Military Aeroplanes-Wire-

iCsS OCHuS warning.
Paris.-The first attempted aerial
attack on Paris was frustrated, when
four German military aeroplanes
crossed the frontier flying in the di
rection of this capital and were driven
back by the Rheims air squadron.
A Rheims telegram says that wire
less messages received fully confirm
reports of the aerial sortie.
Air scouts discovered the oncoming
planes. The warning was flashed by
wireless to the remainder of the corps
in the tented hangers in Rheims. I'M
mediately the remainder of the French
corps took the air, their machines la
den with contact bombs and explosive
shell, high-power rifles.
With the first flutter of the French
flock Of flying machines the German
invaders swung around and returned
across the border with the Frenchmen
in full pursuit.
A danger which the French govern
ment has taken every measure to
ward off If possible is a raid by Yep
pelin airships.
Leaving their stations on the from
tier at nightfall the Zeppelin leviathans
of the air could be over Paris within
few hours, drop bombs on the CAPT.
tol and return to Germany.

can escape undetected The great
