All Europe Aflame
as King George V.
Casts Lot With
Russia and z
France.
BELGIUM is ALSO HOSTILE;
ITALY AND JAPAN CANNOT
LONG MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY

London, Aug. 5.-King George v. of
Great Britain, urged on by the cries of
thousands who surrounded Bucking-
ham palace, Tuesday night signed a
formal declaration of war against Ger
many.
By this act England joined her al
lies in the triple entent, France and
Russia, and all Europe Is af1ame with
war.
The momentous decision of the Brit
fish government came before the time
limit set by Great Britain in her ulti-
matum to Germany demanding a salts
factory reply on the subject of Belgian
neutrality. Germany's reply was the
summary rejection of the request that
Belgian neutrality should be re-
spected.
Ambassador Gets Passports.
The British ambassador at Berlin
thereupon received his passports and
the British government notified Ger
many that a state of war existed be-
tween the two countries.
With the declaration of war by
Great Britain against Gemrany, the
stage was set for the greatest clash of
arms in the history of the world
Not since Napoleon marched trium-
phantly through Europe, with visions
of supreme control, has the continent
been sleeping on its arms as 1t is
Tuesday night. And strange as it
may seem, the country which finally
checked his career at the battle of
Waterloo, is now reaching hand
across the channel to grasp that of its
former foe, and the two are arrayed
with Russia against Germany, nat
ural enemy of France.
All Europe Involved.
All Europe now is involved in this
gigantic war, which must result in the
destruction of carefully planned and
built navies and the devastation of ar
mics nurtured and drilled for genera
tions.
On the one hand is Austria Hungary
and Germany as the principal combat
ants, members of the triple alliance.
Italy is mobiliH<g her troops and d.
plomats declare The can not much
longer remain neutral, but must cast
her fortunes with SAsrmany and Aus
ia-Hungary as the third member of
the triple alliance.
Another probable ally for these
countries is Turkey, which will be
drawn into the conflict to protect Con-
stantinople from the advance of the
Russians.
Face Large Foe.
Opposing these four countries is
England, France and Russia, compris-
ing the triple entente. Their allies
may be many, and the war strength
of Germany and her allies may be
called upon to face an almost uncount-
able foe.
Servia will fight with the triple en-
tente, naturally. The assassination of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, success
sor to the Austrian throne, in the Ser
Wan capital, was the remote cause of
this European war, and it was the re-
fusal of Servia to acce0e to demands
of Austria that added fuel to the
flame.
Joins Triple Entente.
Belgium has modified her army and
a virtual state of war exists between
that country and Germany. That
places Belgium on the side of the tri-
pie entente.
Little Holland, with an army OF
100000, is likely 20 be drawn into the
war as an ally of England because of
the invasion of her territory by Ger
many.
