The latest of the events in Europe
and one for which the world had been
waiting, was the declaration Wednes-
day by Great Britain that a state of
war existed between that nation and
Germany.
Following is the gist of yesterdays
dispatches:
London, England, Aug. 4.-Great
Britain declared war on Germany to-
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 ultimaum
to Germany demanding a satisfactory
reply on the subject of Belgian neu-
trality Germany's reply was the sum-
mary rejection of the request that
Belgian neutrality should be respect
ed. The British ambassador at Ber.
lin thereupon received his passports
and the British government notified
Germany that a state of war existed
between the two countries.
All Europe is now in arms. On the
one hand Austria-Hungary and Ger

show your appreciation of this gen. erous offer, and at, the same time materially assist your brotherhood in the securing of those ideals for which they are so nobly striving Plans are being formulated for a monstrous Fourth of July celebra tion to be held at Riverside park. Committees have been appointed who are live wires, every one of them, and experienced along lines of this nature and I feel certain that I can offer you every assurance of one grand good time for yourselves, your families and your friends. In the March number of the Cali fornia Moose, over the signature of J. w. Foley, the following verse ap- peared, and I am going to pass it along to you. The thought is very beautiful, indeed, and harmonizes perfectly with the teachings of Moosedom Make it a part of your daily life and conduct

 Did you give him a smile? He was

 was slipping downhill: And the world, so I fancied. was
 using him ill., Did you give him a word? Did you

 Don't you know it's the part of a

Imp. Order of Red Men


 With the interest that is being shown in the order and the lively manner in which candidates are be- ing received, there is every indica tlon for continued era of pros perlty, and it is therefore not sur prising to find that the attention due the historical features of the order. whilst playing such an i'm portant part in our work, has for the time being been diverted into other channels, and that even the interest being displayed in the acquisition of a large class of pale faces is absorbed by the forthcoming election of off, cers for the ensuing term, nomina- tons for which was opened at the last session held in K. of P. hall. The next session, June 25, is the time for the election, at which time fu-th- CT nominations can be made, thus giving every member an opportunity to name his choice.
 The Degree Pocahontas hold their election of officers next Thursday evening, June IS. around which event considerable interest is centered. and thls fact stands out as an evidence that both these local branches of our great order realize, that in this strenuous competitive age of com mercialism has arisen the great need of fraternalism, which can be best expressed by quoting the sentiment of our Great Incohonee, George B. Griggs, as follows:
 when we gaze upon the vast
Arizona republican., 1914-06-14

throngs of humanity marching through this weary. struggling life, too frequently do we observe the thoughtless, unguarded, unshielded wayfarer aimlessly drifting toward the deceptive shadows of the brink of utter destruction.
 "Then it is that we of the frater- mites, remembering ou. duties and obligations, extend a helping hand to guide the hapless wanderer to a haven of safety.
 ITO be devoted to such a mission of mercy and sympathy; to admin ister to the needs of humanity. struggling against the almost resist less power of oppression; to bring sunshine and gladness to hearts in gloom, are only the fruits of the beautiful rose of human sympathy. Human sympathy is the sub stratum of philanthcopy-the main pillar of earthly felicity-the brightest star in the Christian diadem-the connecting link in the golden chain which reaches from earth to heaven. It spurns the crofula of green-eyed Jealousy-the canker of self tor menting envy-the typhoid of boiling revenge-the cholera of ingratitude
 Human sympathy is the rock upon which the great fraternal socie- ties of today are builded. When shall the good work of the fraternal- ist cease? ,f R
 T answer: When the cradles of the universe shall have been re- turned to the garret to. rock no more; when the last tear shall have been wiped from sorrows eye; when the dew drops of Heaven shall no longer quench the aching thirst of tender flowers; when the roses of the fields shall have bowed their last good night to God; when the sun shall have grown cold and is eoffined by destruction-then will the good work of the fraternalists cease.

AUTOMOBILE
 EOR THE CAMP

If present plans do not miscarry, ldltarod and vicinity will shortly be enjoying lux urv that has long been needed in this camp, And that is automobile transportation be- tween this city and the creeks.
 Nels Glantz an enterprlslng young busl- ness man of Flat City, Is responsible tor the venture. he having this week ordered by telegraph from the agency at Fairbanks a brand new fve-passenger Ford machine, and expects it to arrive in lditarod on the next trip of the steamer White Seal, which IS due to leave there today or tomorrow.
 It is learned that MT. Glantz has made arrangements with the tramway owners whereby he will use portion of their right of.way as route for his auto. This, of course. will necessitate quite an outlay ot money to make the tram track passably good for the machine.
 During the winter of 1910-l1 H. H. Ross the Fairbanks automobile man, had ma chine on the Idltarod- Flat City run, but that surely was a winter that tired men souls "for the wind she blow like hurrl- cane" for weeks at a stretch ln one dlrec- tion, and then turned right around and blew back It was something tlerce, and there is little wonder that MT. Ross 'dogged it" when navigation opened in 1911 and took his machine back to that dear Far banks And since that time nobody in the district has had the temerlty to bring another choochoo wagon into the camp, although there has scarcely been day dur ing the past three winters that a machine would have been troubled in the least from that annoyance.
 The Pioneer heartily congratulates MT Glantz for his enterprise, and hopes that it will prove a success in every way.

TURK WILL co TO
 THE HIGHEST BIDDER

CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. IS-The con viction is growing among foreigners here that Turkey will not long remain out ot the fight. The sultan announced as soon as Austria declared war against SerVla that Turkey would remain neutral. Attention was called by Western military men in Constantinople, however, to significant movements of troops and to government preparations which certainly looked war like
 Whether, should he take hand, the Turk would operate independently of the other combatants or ally himself with one side or the other, was considered uncer- tain The commonest guess was that he would offer his services to the highest bid der demanding in return for his ald what he lost, CT perhaps more than what he lost, by his struggle with the Balkan allies
 It was generally agreed, too, that the sultan's help would be valuable. He could put more than 270,000 trained European troops into the field on short notice, and by drawing on his Asiatic leves could heav fly increase this number, though some time might be lost in bringing them to the front. Under War Minister Enver Bey the army has also been thoroughly organized and experts have pronounced it very for mdiaDle fighting machine. The individual good qualities of the Turkish soldier have long been recognized.
 The German side of the struggle was deemed somewhat the more natural of the two for the Turks to take, but if they could secure more liberal terms it was doubted if they would hesitate long to throw their strength on' the side of the nnnnSite factiOn

Ballard left this camp in the spring of 1912, while in very poor shape physically, and the last heard of him was that he had recuparated and was enjoying fine health The news of his setback will be received with both surprise and re gret by his many friends hereabouts.
