CANADA TO IMPOSE
 SPECIAL WAR TAXES
News Of War Between England and
 Germany Quietly Received.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 5.--As Canada revenues have been falling and as borrowing in England is impossible, 1t is expected that the government IS bringing in a measure imposing special war taxes in order to raise money to provide for the expenses of the Cana dian contingent. The news that a. state of war exists between England and Germany was received at the capital without a sign of popular ex- citement.
 No Demonstrations.
 Extra editions of the newspapers containing the announcement were eagerly bought, but there were no demonstrations in the streets.
 Premier Borden summoned meet ing of the cabinet to take the admin istrative steps rendered necessary by the war conditions. It was decided that parliament should at once be summ oned to vote the funds needed to raise and equip a force of 10000 men and if necessary despatch them to join the British armies at the front. Militia Prepared.
 For two weeks the military authori-
 ties have been preparing for the an S@hehI Hlaue yeSteTudy.
 Although state of war between germany and England had been ex- pected, the official announcement of
 the declaration came with shock. Immense crowds surrounded the newspaper offices waiting for definite news and when finally the bulletin was posted placing the matter beyond doubt. it was at first received in silence. Then came a burst of pa- triotic fervor and the streets re- l sounded with cheers for the emnire Sing Patriotic Songs. Here and there a voice started m 1 8 patriotic song, and in moment the huge crowds took it up, Rule Britan- nia," The Red, White and Blue," an(
 other songs swelling up in a vast chorus.
 Never since the memorable Pretoria night has this city witnessed such q spontaneous outburst of patriotism '' All night, bands paraded at the heao of crowds waving flags and cheering for king and for country.

New York, Aug. 5.-Sir Thomas Lipton's formal withdrawal from the international cup yacht race this fall, announcement of which came to New York early today was received With no surprise in yachting circles. Sir Thomas had said before that he would not race in the event of Eng lands going to war. The British gov ernment's declaration of war against Germany, therefore, automatically cancelled the proposed contests.
 In a short time the American cup defense candidates, Vanitie and Reso- lute, will go out of commission

WOMEN TO ORGANIZE
 | AMERICAN HOSPITAL Trance Rtquisitioning Automobiles 1 Owned By Americans.

Paris. Aug. 5-Mrs. Herrick, wife |cf the ambassador, desires to join khe French Red Cross and is only 'waiting to determine if official con- Alteration would make. her offering 'bf her services unwise.
 "My wife," said Ambassador Her. rick, feels that this is the greatest eervice she can do for humanity"
 Volunteering Their Services.
 Count Du Monceau, who is organ kxing the French Red Cross, says that Thousands of French women, includ- Ing almost all the titled women in France, and many American women hre volunteering their services.
 Later, Mrs. Herrick, at the sug- Eestion of her husband, decided that khe could be of more service by as- sisting to organize an American hos Xpital and attending the wounded than by going into the field as a nurse.
 Plan American Hospital.
 Mrs. Herrick, Mrs. George Carroll, and Mrs. H. H. Harjes are working
 
 pital here and will invite American women in Paris to join their forces as nurses.
 Ambassador Herrick, who was up most of last night attending to American and German affairs, ar- ranged with Premier Viviani that Americans leaving France today would not be required to show pass ports or otherwise identify them- selves, the simple declaration that they are from the United States be- Ing sufficient to pass them.
 Talxe Americans Autos.
 MT. Herrick also is trying to ar- range for Americans to leave for southern France with their automo- biles, which are now being srequisi- tioned by the military administra- lion for war purposes. Mrs. Potter |Paimer's machine was among those kequisitioned Monday and Judge E. H. Gary was notified yesterday that his car was likely to be taken shortly.

YALE TO AID FACULTY

College Officials Meet at NiW Haven

New Haven, Aug. 5.-There was q
 gathering of Yale officials in this city
 last evening including President Had

 to te report that the university of of the war situation in regard to the ability of professors and instruc- tors now in Europe to get here in time for the opening of college next month. President Hadley, how ever, stated that such was not the case. In the first place, many of the leading professors who are abroad are away on years leave of absence
 or at least six months, and so would
 not be back anyway for the open ing of college. President Hadley
 did state, however, that there was to tse~an effort made to seek some way tsto secure relief for the Yale staff Hre mbers who are now in Europe and may be in need of aid. No an lnouNcement of plans in this regard could be made last night, however. Oncf Their Services.
 Secretary Stokes stated that he was due in New Haven last week and that his presence here had nothing to do with any worry over the teach ing situation. He said a couple of substitutes had offered their services but at present no thought has been given that matter. Besides the fact that many of the professors are awa,r on Sabbatical years anyway 1t is the belief of the officials that many more will be able to return before the opening of college and there is no fear of the crippling of the teaching force.
 Among the members of the faculty now away in Europe are Professor Henry w. Farnam, who is exchange professor to the University of Ber- lin; Professor George Burton Adams, who is spending his Sabbatical year abroad, and is supposed to be in Eng land now: Professor Bumstead, who is also Sabbatical Professor Harry E. Jepson of the Music school; Pro- lessor Oertel, head of the graduate school. who is on leave of absence, and Professor Horato Reynolds.
 : Professor Emeritus Tracy Peck is to leave this week for Rome despite the serious situation and the difficulty of ocean travel.
 Students in Straits
 Great fear is being expressed every where for American students in Ger many, many of whom are in partic- Elarly dangerous straits. Miss Scholl- horn, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank J. Schollhorn, of Livingston street, who has been in Berlin for the past three years, devoting her time to voice training, early this sum mer left the German capital for Nor way, where she and her companion, Miss Marie Collins, were to spend the summer in recuperating after a strenuous season.
