MARTIAL LAW
PROCLAIMED IN
CIERA AND IN
FRANCE MONDAY

Paris, Aug. 3.--A decree proclaim
ing martial law throughout France
and Algiera. was issued by President
Poincare today after a meeting of the
cabinet The President also sum
moned Parliament to meet tomorrow.
All kilograms were refused at the
post Offices in Paris for a period to-
day and it is assumed that the diff
culties in the transmission of news
and private dispatches will rapidly in
crease.
The concentration of the French
troops in stratgetic positions along the
frontiers and the operation of the mil
itary train service have been carried
out to the complete satisfaction of
the military authorities.
The pillage of a German jewelry
store in Paris and other incidents of
a more or less grave nature, partic-
ularly raids against stores of those
merchants who have raised the prices
of necessities, caused the project of
police today TO plaeard an appeal to
Parisians to maintain order. Vigorous
measures are to be taken against any
dealers raising prices to exhorbitant
rates.

HOPE FOR BETTER
MARKET CONDITIONS

Chicago. Aug. Slope of better f.
nancial returns for grain and provi-
sions, especially wheat, prevailed
among the members Of the Board Of
Trade, although today witnessed a
startling smash in the price of pork,
lard, hogs and corn. The reason for
a renewal of confidence lay in dis
patches to various Arms asserting that
the British government had agreed to
guarantee war risks on wheat destined
for Great Britain.
Shutting down of exports to Europe
was felt more acutely today than at
any previous time.
Unusual declines shown tonight as
compared with Saturday night were;
Pork. h.7b per Dbl; lard, $1.12M per
hundred pounds; hogs. so cents a hun
dred pounds. and corn 3h a bushel.

Belgian Neutrality
Sir Edward Grey then recited the
history Of Belgian neutrality saying;
Our interest is as strong today as
It was in 1870. We cannot take a
less serious view of our obligations
now than did the late Mr.. Gladstone in
that year
When mobilization began I teie-
graphed to both the French and the
German governments asking whether
they would respect Belgian neutrality.
France replied that she was prepared
to do SO unless another power violated
that neutrality
THE German foreign secretary RE-
piled that he could not possibly give
a response before consulting the I'm
periai chancellor and the German EN-.
peror He intimated that he doubted
whether 1t was possible to give an
answer because that answer would dis.
close the German plans.
We were sounded last week as &c
whether, If Belgian neutrality were re.
stored after the war, it would paeify
US and we replied that we could no,
barter our interests or our obliga-
tons"
Another burst Of cheering greeted
this declaration.
Sir Edward Grey then read a tele-
gram from the King OF the Belgians
TO King George, making supreme an.
peal for diplomatic intervention &c
safeguard the independence of Bel.

Sir Edward again requested the
House to deal with the issue before

When the documents are made pub,
lie 1t will be seen how genuinely and
whole-heartediy we have made effort,
to preserve the peace

The Communication

The entire communication made by
the British foreign secretary to the
House of Commons on his second APP
pearance there follows;
"A message has been received from
the Belgian legation stating that Ger
many sent to Belgium at o'clock last
evening a note proposing to Belgium
friendly neutrality coupled with the
free passage through Belgian territory
of German troops, promising the main
tenance of Belgian independence at the
conclusion of peace and threatening In
case of refusal to treat Belgium as
an enemy The time limit Of IL hours
was fixed for the reply.
Belgium answered that an attack
on her neutrality would be fragrant
violation of the rights of nations, to
accept the German proposal would be
to sacrifice her honor, and being con-
scious OF her duty, Belgium was firmly
resolved to repel aggression by all pos.
sible means"
The Belgian reply was received with
loud cheers by the members and Sir
Edward concluded with the declara-
ton that the British government had
taken the note into grave considera-
ton and he made no further comment
Warning to Germany
1t wac asserted Ia authoritative
quarters that due warning had been
given to Germany yesterday Of the
intention of the British navy to take
instant action in case a German SOL
der should set foot on Belgian soil
In spite of this and OF the prompt re-
fusai by the Belgian government to
aenept the agreement offered by Ger.
many as the price of the violation of
Belgian neutrality, German forces pen
etrated the little Buffer state at two
points on their way to the French
frontier. The German point OF view
In regard to the situation thus brought
about was explained at the German
embassy as follows:
The German general staff has beer
reliably informed that French troops
are assembling In great numbers on
the Belgian frontier, preparatory to
crossing.
"The German government, therefore,
informed the Belgian government that
If. for strategical reasons, German
troops were compelled to traverse Bel
gian territory, this move should moi
be considered in any way war-hke
measure directed against Belgium, ou'
only as q necessity imposed by French
initiative and that If Belgium oners
no armed resistance to such q move
ment, Germany will guarantee the Bel
gian government the maintenance OF
its territorial integrity and sovereign
ty and the fullest compensation tor
any inconvenience caused by the pass
age OF the Imperial troops.
The German embassy also stated
that It was quite certain no questions
would arise with German troops cross
ing the Dutch frontier, or In any way
interfering with that neutrality.

Alfalfa.

R. Manning Walker has three
cres of very fine alfalfa This is
the crop that enriches the land and
at the same time the crop makes
money for the grower Mr. Walker
sowed the seed in Sept. 1912 but
on account of the dry weather it
did not make much growth last
year. This year it is doing fine.
He brought some of it to this Office.
1t is 20 inches high and is not yet
in bloom. 1t will grow considera-
bly,. The root reaches down 20
inches in the ground and will
break mp the subsoil and fertiljze
it. Mr.. Walker expects to cut the
first crop this month and at least
one more later. Try some alfalfa
on your farm.
