Pledge Of Germany
Not Satisfactory to
British Government

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Premier Asquith In
the House of Commons confirmed the
sending TO Germany of a request that Il
should give the same assurance of the
neutrality OF Belgium as France had done
and that is reply should be sent to Eng
land before midnight.
Mr.. Asquith said that a telegram had
been sent early this morning to Sir Ed
ward Goschen, British ambassador in
Berlin to the following effect:
The king of the Beigians has appealed
to his Britannia majesty's government
Tor diplomatic Intervention on behalf of
Belgium. The British government is also
informed that the German government
has delivered to the Belgian government
a note pending friendly neutrality pend
Ing free passage of German troops
through Belgium and promising to main
tain the independence and integrity OF the
kingdom and its possessions on the con-
clusion OF peace, threatening In case of
refusal to treat Belgium as an enemy
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, requested an answer within
twelve hours. Premier Asquith then read
a telegram from the German foreign min
lister, which the German ambassador in
London had sent to Sir Edward Grey
today. 1t was as follows:
Please dispel any distrust that may
subsist on the part of the British govern
ment with regard to our intentions by re-
repeating most positively the formal as
surance that even in case of armed con-
rlict with Belgium, Germany will under
no pretensions whatever an.Gx Belgium
territory
I'VE understand that Belgium cate
sorically refused to assent to a fragrant
violation of the law OF nations.
His mAjestys government was bound
to protest against this violation of a
treaty TO which Germany was q party
in common with England and must re-
quest an assurance that the demand made
on Belgium by Germany be not proceeded
with and that Belglum's neutrality be
respected by Germany, and we have asked
for an immediate reply.
We received this morning from our
minister in Brussels the following tele-
gram:
The German minister has this morn
ing addressed a note to the Belgian min
ister for foreign affairs stating that as
the Belgian government has declined a
well-intentioned proposal submitted to 1t

WAR WITH FRANCE CONFIRMED
United states H. Notified Officially
of the situation Between
Germany and France
by Germany.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4--No Americans
can leave Germany for the present.
Through the Germany embassy at New
port, the State department has been in
formed that during the progress OF mob
ilization no foreigners will be permitted
! TO depart.
The German order applies alike to men,
women and children. although it's purpose
is to prevent the flight from Germany OF
men eligible for military service under
pretext Of citizenship. The inclusion of
women and children in the decree Is ex-
planned by the apprehension that valu-
able military information regarding the
process Of mobilization and especially the
points OF concentration Of the German
army forces might be conveyed to the
enemy by women.
The German embassy served notice on
the United States today that q state of
war exists between France and Ger
many. II is tantamonnt to a declaration
OF war but technically different
The notice from the German counselor
at Newport is practically the same as
the announcement in Berlin last night by
the German premier. in which he sought
to place on France full responsibility for
the beginning of hostillties The notice
justifies the United States and other
neutral countries in the issue Of formal
proclamations of neutrality and sets In
motion all tho legal machinery necessary
to empower the German government IT.
self to proceed as in the case of an actual
declaration Of war.
The only difference noted here between
the two forms is that the state of war
announcement still relieves the German
government Of liability for the initiation
OF hostilities such as would be carried
by the Issue Of a formal declaration of
war, point which will figure largely in
the negotiations which must close hos

claring that we will maintain untarnished
the sacred patriotism of our fathers.
Long live Independent Belgium!"
A scene Of stirring enthusiasm fol-
lowed. Deputies and senator's stood and
shouted in chorus the closing words OF
King Albert's speech.
Premier De Broqueville then made a
statement as to Germany's ultimatum
to Belgium and the reply of Belgium
declaring that the government would not
sacrifice the countrys honor. and that
the nation would resist by every means
in its power all encroachments or itl
rights.
German Columns I'm France.
PARIS, Aug. A-The Germans have PEN
etrated French territory at two points.
They first entered Longlaville in the De-
partment of Meurthe-et-Moselle, a part
OF Old Lorraine, near Longwy. and later
invaded Cirey-sur-Vezou&i,i in the depart
ment.
The German entry into the Duchy OF
Luxembourg was headed by thirty five
automobiles filled with officers. these
followed by cavalry in force. Several fresh
violations of French territory by Ger
man troops were reported today. Detach-
ments visited outlying farms at Lepuix,
near Belfort, and requisitioned cattle.
Frenchmen Executed in Nets.
PARIS, Aug. 4-The French minister
OF war today issued the following note
The German ambassador has de-
manded his passport and diplomatic rela-
tons between France and Germany have
been broken off.
War is declared.
The first act OF the Germans. accord
ing to information from a positive source
to the minister OF war, was to execute M.
Samain. former president Of the French
War society. who lived in Metz and to
imprison all the members Of that society. 4"

Martial Law in Part

LONDON. Aug. "A special issue OF
the London Gazette this evening pro-
claims q sort of martial law In the
British isles.
The proclamation. which bears the sig
nature OF King George, says;
Whereas. The present state OF public

complete security cannot save 1t from the
serious ordeal due to the interruption of
International commerce.
At the other extreme is Russia, which
does not import food and which would
be comparatively little affected by tho
stoppage' of sea-borne trade Midway in
the economic scale stands France, Ger
many and Austria. and France certainly
should be powerfully aided by our naval
support for its sea-borne commerce. But
It is tolerably certain that the scales of
war will be turned on land by the terrible
swiftness Of modern campaigns and the
tremendous economic strain apart from
all questions OF overseas trade upon the
belligerent populations.

The question OF sending q British expe-

Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey about
the infringement of Belgian neutrality
seems to point to a dispatch OF force with
all its far-reaching consequences to the
future OF this country.

necessary.
The British government was officially
informed by Belgium today that German
troops had invaded Belgium, and that the
violation OF that country's neutrality,
which the British foreign secretary in
timated must be followed by action on
the part OF the British, had become an
accepted fact
Definite announcement OF Great
Britain's Intentions under this grave az
front was expected in the House of Com
mons this afternoon.
In the meantime John Burns has re-
signed from the British cabinet and Wis
count Morley's absence from It's meeting
today indicHted that this strong peace
advocate had also determined to leave
his colleagues.
Diplomatic relations had already been
severed last night between Germany and
France, and the German ambassador or
leaving Paris informed the French
premier that Germany regarded itself as
in state OF war with France. which re-
quested Germany to hand the French am
bassador in Berlin his passports.
AeropIane Huria Bombs.
The open breach between France and
Germany was rapidly followed by the ap-
pearance OF German troops on French
territory and by an incursIon OF bomb
hurting German aeroplanes, which at
tackled the fortified town OF Luneville,
without doing anything more than dam
age 20 q roadway.
French airmen and outposts also were
reported to have made raids on German
territory
A tangible occurrence was the lombard
ment OF the French naval station at Bona
by q German cruiser, which. however.
retired before doing much damage. and
is cruising around the Mediterranean.
where a considerable number OF French
war vessels are looking for such
marauders.
What the British admiralty intended TO
do was not aseertainable. and no news
was made public as to the movements OF
British war vessels. British ships bound
for continental ports north OF Calais were
advised by the admiralty to divert their
course TO ports IN the United Kingdom In
