The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1914-08-04

Liberals are putting pressure on
the government to keep out Of
the conflict, and it is said Premier
ASquith is influenced by this. But
the average EngliShman is saying
tonight that the government has
no alternative after the neutrality
of Luxembourg has been disregard
ed by Germany and after Ger
many's refusal TO say what her
attitude would be with regard TO
Belgium.
Socialists Against War.
At a big Socialist meeting in
Trafalgar Square tonight, James
keir Hardie, member of parlia-
ment, declared that Italy, although
bound by treaty, remained neu-
trail and there was no reason why
Great Britain should not. He an
nounced his intention of calling a
national strike against the war.

ENGLAND HELD IN SUSPENSE

London, August 2-The greatest suspense England
has known in a century was in evidence today. For hours
the cabinet was in Council. The whole country thought it
was wrestling with the question whether Great Britain
should take up arms IN support of the triple entente.
NO Otflclal statement was made concerning the dellb-
eratlons, except that the Premier would make an an
nouncement in the House of Commons and the cabinet
would convene IN the morning.
The government took three measures for defense to-
Gay. None is inconsistent with the policy of remaining
outside the conflict if that should be her policy. The naval
reserves and naval marine pensioners were called out;
the territorials, assembled at the training camps for an
nual practice, were ordered to their Headquarters; the
home secretary prohibited flights over the entire kingdom
and territorial waters, except by military craft.
Great Britain would feel obliged TO take these meas
ures with a great wal raging close to her shores, even if
there were no question of her participation. Censors took
charge of all the cable offices in the Kingdom today. Al
cation With the continent was stopped entirely.
Premier Asquith For Peace.
The King issued a proclamation declaring a morato-
rum for a month and the suspension of the banking act
tomorrow appears assured. Parliament probably will
pass a bill for a loan for defensive purposes to the amount
of $3.50, 100000. The newspapers of England are confront
ed with the probability OF a paper famine. The Arch
bishop Of Canterbury and the Bishop of London both
spoke for peace today. A manifesto also emanated from
influential quarters quoting Premier Asquith's recent
statement that Great Britain had no understanding Will
France and Russia which would compel her to Join with
them in war.
Lord Beresford For War.
Lord Chas. Beresford has issued a letter calling upon
the country TO pay a debt of honor to France" He de-
clares Great Britain would forever be disgraced in the
eyes OF Europe If she failed.
London remains extraordinarily calm. Such scenes Of
enthusiasm as were witnessed at the time of the Boer war
have been almost lacking.
The business world looks forward to this weeks de-
v%elopments with the greatest anxiety. Monday is a bank
holiday and banks will have time to make arrangements
against a possible siege on TupSdaV

J0l1e0-fTdnCe declares mat tng1dlld MUST
Aid Her, Since Germany Has Broken Treaty,
Declaring Luxembourg Neutral.
(y the Associated Press)
London, Aug. 2.---Four great powers of En-
rope, Austria-Hungary Russia, France and Ger
many are engaged in actual warfare. Two of
them, Germany and France, have not openly
declared war against each other, as far as is
known here, but have not even severed diplo-|
matte relations. This is despite the fact that Ger
many's ultimatum to France, either has been
ignored or rejected.
The explanation of this would appear to be that
Germany and France are each seeking to throw
upon the other the onus of beginning a war, that
may plunge Europe into bloodshed. IN fact
while the nations of Europe are flying at each
others threats, they are vieing with each other
in protesting their desire to maintain peace.
FRANCE IS JUSTIFIED.
In this curious situation France, according to
British opinion, has the strongest Justification.
She was the last to mobilize and seems to have
taken the greatest precautions to avoid frontier
collisions.
On the other hand Germany, in addition to
invading French territory without making a for
NAL declaration of war, has violated the neutral
ity of Luxembourg AMI declines to give any prom
ise to respect Belgian neutrality.
ENGLAND ALMOST COMPELLED.
The efforts of the British Ambassador at Ber-
lin to secure such a pledge have been wasted. II
is difficult to see how Great Britain can avoid be-
ing drawn into the conflict to protect Belgian anc
Dutch neutrality. On this point Premier AS
quith's official announcement in Parliament
Monday is awaited with intense anxiety: The
British public is no longer under any illusions as
to the gravity Of a crisis which transcends any
thing in their experience.
Short of actual formal mobilization the British
government is taking all necessary steps to NEE
asituation unprecedented in the nations history

A French inventor is said TO have
perfected a device that threatens to
do away with necessity for writing
letters. One talks into a machine,
which makes a cloth record that can
be transmitted TO the person with
whom it is desired TO communicate,
and all he has to do is to set his
phonograph going and listen. Here

AAw Do the Classics Helm Us?

The answer lies in one little word,
art. The classics, more than any
modern literature. teach US art, and
art is the conscious purpose Of man
to make this world more beautiful.
Philip Sidney says that the object Of
poetry IS to make this too-much loved
world more lovely; l should extend
his definition a little further and say
that the object of art is to make this
world more lovely, more lovable, and
more loved.-Henry D. Sedgwick, i'll
