EUROPEAN WAR

Find Fresh Hope of Liberty In New
Supremacy Struggle

London, Aug. 1O.-Ancient Warsaw.
mecca OF old Poland, where a little
over a century ago the Polish con-
stitution was officially proclaimed. is
the center Of widespread European
interest at the present moment
The decision Of the Russian war
board not to defend Warsaw gives the
Polish people fresh hope that out OF
the war of all Europe may rise a re-
habilitated and re-established Polish
republic.
over thirty millions Of Polanders
still inhabit the cities, by-ways and
villages OF this ancient monarchy, and
the sons of patriotic fathers, who gave
their lives in defense of the national
solidarity and perpetuity Of Poland as
a political entity. are only waiting for
the signal to be given TO rise in de-
Tense OF their institutions.
From Russia, Germany and Austria
Polish patriotism talee new hope. and,
IL the establishment OF that ancient
kingdom could come about as "a result
of the clash of war between European
kings, the prayers Of expatriated mil
lions OF Polanders, which have as
cended Heavenward for three genera
tons will be answered.
II Russia does not defend her Pol
ish possessions and Germany and Aus
tria should be humbled by this tri-
party war against German ascendan-
cy, one OF the conditions OF peace,
when ultimately proclaimed, may be
the independence of the Polish ma
ton.
Shorn of naval and military
strength, nearly three hundred thou
sand square miles Of Polish territory
may be rededicated to freedom; and
the ancient capitals of Warsaw and
Gracow, once decorated with works OF
art and statues Of eminent Polanders,
may be restored to their native sons

GERMANY GIVES OUT OFFICIAL
STATEMENT ON WAR CAUSES
Declares Emperor William Endeayored to Restrict Hostss Be-

in Alsace and Lorraine. Before this,
French troops had invaded German
territory French ayiators had thrown
bombs upon railroads in German ter
ritory, French troops had attacked
German frontier guards. The latter,
according to their instructions, re-
manned in a defensive position.
Says Invasion Was Justified.
Thus military operations becoming
necessary Germany had taken them
up in self defense; German troops
have occupied the Grand-Duchy OF
Luxembourg and invaded Belgian ter
ritory. This step is against the trea-
ties by which both countries have been
declared neutral and to which the
German empire is party, but the
German government had informal n
beyond a doubt that France prepared
an invasion into Belgian territory and
the Belgian government was in sym
pathy with France. Military opera
tions Of a French army in the right
flank Of the German troops on the Bas-
Rhine, would have been disastrous,
and for this reason Germany was COM
PEELED not TO heed the just protesta-
tions Of the governments OF Luxem-
burg and Belgium.
Position of England.
As TO Great Britain Germany had
assured England, that as long as the
British government would stand neu-
tral, Germany would not attack the
north coast OF France, nor attempt
any hostilities against French mer-
chant vessels, nor infringe upon the
independence OF Belgium.
