WHAT is GOING ON BEHIND
CLOAK THROWN OVER EUROPE.

What is going on behind the fog
which shut down Owe Europe when
the German emperor declared war
on Russia?
What has happened since the gov
eminent seized the telegraph and
cable lines and cut the continent
from the rest of the world?
What is concealed by the thick
veil of secrecy and silence?
1t is possible to get some idea of
what has taken place in Germany,
at least, where war has been made
the most highly organized. business
in the world.
Picture, in the first place, a little
country only three-quarters as large
as the single state of Texas. Pack
into that small territory $1,000, 900
people. If all the Inhabitants OF the
United States were jammed., into
Texas the crowding would be only
a little more dense.
Out from the war office in Berlin
to army depets all over the country
goes the order calling, the men of the
first army reserve tosthe colors. That

100000 Ready in Peace.
Already, on a peace footing, there
are $4,000 men in the barracks.
The men of the first reserve, all of
whom have had at least two years
of military training, Will bring the
number up. to nearly a million and
a quarter Of trained soldiers. fB

There is o business problem SO
difficult and complex as that of
mobilizing and moving an army of
100000 or a million men, with the
possible fate of an empire depending
on the saving OF t%wenty-four hours
in the process.

army contains twenty-five army corps
each with an enrolment. of about
$4,000 men.
Supplies Go Along.
Accompany each little unit must

all h immense quantity of me-
chanism and machinery without
which a modern army is almost help

Deceive the Foe, Is Game.
1t is important to deceive the

over the gagged telegraph wires
leak rumors-inspired by the war
department-that so many men have
been sent in such. a direction, when
exactly the opposite, perhaps, is the
truth.
Not even the Germans themselves
know the facts, none but the milf

Telephone and telegraph the move

During the Russo-Japanese war
scores of. Russian soldiers wrote
home from their camps in Manchur-
ia begging to be told some news of
the war. Though they were a part
of the fighting armies they knew
nothing of the prog,e ss of the war,
So in Germany and with the world
outside. 1t is part of military policy
to conceal the facts. to bewiider and
deceive the enemy with false state
ments. Not until some great battle
is fought and Won will the cable be
allowed to speak. ~

EMPEROR FORCED INTO WAR,
HIS BACK TO THE, WALL.

London, England.-From the me-
ment Austria Hungary caught the
whole world mapping in its swift at.
tack on Servia the German Emper-
or has been n of the principal
figures in the situation. a5 81
All London regards him as the
chief figure--isolated, dominating.
unafraid, with his back against the.
wall, desiring peace, but adhering
TO the demand of his peoples for q
war. s
Many persons believe the situa-
)tion' would have been different if
Emperor William had been at Pots
dam instead of with his fleet in the
North Sea when the .iHapsburgs pro-
ceeded to their chastisement of Ser
via; but when William III. reached
home all Germany was atiame with
enthusiasm over the great struggle
between Teuton and Serb.
The German Emperor, towering
head and shoulders every other
figure in Europe, is regarded by
diplomatists here as being in the
highest place in his remarkable
career. with Italy running away
from the Triple Alliance and with
Austria reasonably busy with Servia
and the other Balkan States.
Emperor William stands surround
ed. Russia is mobilizing on the one
hand, France on the other, and
Great Britain is threatening his
navy and throwing q Gordon of
, lighting ships around his seaports.
We'll may the.i ser say, rs he
aid in a speech 10 his people, "a
4 dark day has broken today eve
Germany. Envious persons are
Everywhere compelling us to- de-
fence"
Thus the Emperor; stands in the
eyes of England a sort of modern
Frederick the Great, beset on every
side by. enemies. And he is the
great figure in the situation, which
in almost the %twinkling of an eye
has changed to place him in a po-
sition of great military disadvantage.
These who have cen the Kaiser
lately have remarked that while his
physical condition is apparently per-
feet, the cares and troubles of his
rule have indelibly marked his face
almost as I SCARED with the wounds
of battle. His latest photographs
show heavy lines as, in the face of
a runner who has gone al a terrific
pace. =
One of the things which impelled
\ King George to make a final effort

dered in the cause of peace in the
years gone by.

KAISER PLAYS MASTER STROKE
AT OUTSET OF WAR.

Washington, ID. ca military
expert of the United States army,
discussing the strategy of the Eu-
ropean war. said:
Germany apparently has played
a master stroke right at the start
Even with England and France join
ing Russia in the fight against
Germany now they must play a
waiting game. Germany has so little
frontage on the Atlantic they can
do little damage there. The frontier
between Germany and France is al
most impregnable on both sides.
by continually sending small
forces of soldiers across the line in
to France, Germany will keep the
time being. Should Germany attempt
an invasion of France now, how
ever, its army would be eaten up. !
England APPARENTLY has been Ell
animated for the time being, It will
be an impossibility to get the English
fleet into the Baltic if the Germans
take the precaution, to mine the
Baltic and the North sea. That II
took this precaution no n doubts.

WAR ON GERMANY
Continued from page 1.

Germany "had tried treacherously to
surprise France" and added:
i'France is vigilant, as we'll as
peaceful" She was ready and our
covering troops will allow mobiliza-
ton to be methodica1ly carried out"
|d+s Premier Viyiani made the French
governments statement on the war
in the chamber of deputies and his
remarks created the deepest enthus-
iasrn-a He detailed at great leafgfh
the history of the events of the last
fortnight and presented strong argu-
ments in the case against Germany,
which he declared logically Justified
the acts of the French government.
During the course of his remarks the
premier said:
''Unjustly Provoked."
France has been unjustly provoke
ed. She did not seek war; had done
al in her power to avoid it. Since
war was forcedaupon her, she will de-
fend herself against Germany or any
other power, who, not, yet, having ex-
pressed it's sentiment, takes part by
the side of Germany in the conflict
between the two countries.
Against an attack which violated

all necessary preparations. They will
be carried out vigorously, methodi-
cally and calmly. The mobilization

Russian Minister Cheered.
The house turned toward the Rus
sian minister, NJ. Iswolsky, who sat
in the diplomatic gallery, and cheer
ed Russia. The premier continued:
Belgium has now 100000 men in
arms, prepared to defend with mag
nificent ardor the neutrality and in
dependence of their native land. The
English fleet is modified to the
smallest vessel and the English army
is modifying"
The deputies arose again, turned
towards. where the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Francis BERTHE, was sitting in
the gallery. and cheered wildly round

RESfRWSTS SEEKING PASSAGE ON LINERS
l2,000 Abe Bodied Men Anxious
 to Serve in European Armies.

New York, Aug. 5.--In New York men seeking transportation to Europe for service in the armies of the war ring powers. Registered on the books f the general consulates of the nations involved in the war are 5000 more, and still other thousands have signified by telegram and letter their intention to volunteer whenever called upon, or at such time as trans portation is furnished them to Eu- rope.
 The Austro- Hungarian consulate has sent many men back to their homes when it was learned that they rushed here to enlist, leaving large families penniless. For the majority, however, no provision, so far as could be learned, has been made for lodg ing, the men being expected to pay their own expenses.
 Charities Authorities Confer.
 To relieve cases of distress among the reservists stranded here and to provide for future aid a conference of charities authorities was to be held today.
 The British consulate general was prepared today to send seven hundred naval reserves abroad. It was planned to send the men from here to Canada and there put on board British transport to be conveyed by battle cruisers, should the risk of shipping them on British trans Atlantic yes sels be considered too dangerous Legion of Honor Men. Among the reservists anxious for an opportunity to join their old regi- ments are several Legion of Honor men, business men from many cities who sold their places to answer the call to arms, and hundreds of labor CTS Women, too, have offered to re- turn to their native countries for ser vice in the hospital and Red Cross corps.

 My ally. the Emperor Francis Jo- seph, was compelled to take up arms for the protection of his empire against the dangerous agitation exist ing in neighboring state.
 Tn pursuing it's interests the Rus sian Empire stepped in the way of Austria Hungary.
 Not our duty as an ally called us to the side of Austria Hungary but the great task was cast upon Us. at the same time with the ancient com munity of culture of the two empires, to protect our own position against the attack of unfriendly forces.

 Tt was with a heavy heart that was compelled to mobilize my army against Britain, whose troops and mine had fought side by side on so many fields of battle and with sin cere regret I saw the breaking of a friendship to which Germany had been so faithful.
