the Irish question must be put out Of the
way before anything constructive could
be accomplished They also knew by the
experience of nearly four score years
that the lords would not permit any
genuinely liberal legislation.
So they proposed the parliament act.
IL provided that under certain circum-
stances and conditions bills might be-
come law without the consent Of the
upper house.
The lords. of course, protested and
again the cabinet agreed TO leave the
question to the country. There was an
other dissolution of parliament. another
general election (held III December. 1870
and again the Asquith ministry was re-
turned to power.
The then slow, weary machinery was
set into motion for passing the parlia-
ment act. which became law in 1911.
This act is confessedly temporary stop

The family of Bernhard Knollen-
berg is anxiously awaiting reply to
a cablegram sent to him last evening
by his father, George H. Knollenberg,
asking for information concerning his
sister, Miss Margaret Knollenberg,
whose whereabouts in Germany is not
known. Bernhard Knollenberg is
now in London, a member Of large
party of foreigners who were brought
there when the war scare in Europe
took on more dangerous aspect.
The last heard of Margaret Knoll
lenberg was week before actual hos
tilities began In Europe. At that
time she stated that she was planning
visit to kiel, city which reports
state Is in precarious situation.
From that place she intended to go to
Berlin. but it is not known whether
she left the city before the Emperor of
Germany began the mobilization Of
troops, which would probably prevent
her from carrying out her schedule.
In the cablegram received Tuesday
evening by Adam Bartel, whose
daughter Gertrude is one of party of
four Richmond girls now in Berlin,
no reference was made to Margaret
Knollenberg who intended joining the
other girls at the German capital.

More than 1000 persons jammed
their way into the coaches of this
train which normally can carry only
about 400 passengers, and some of
those who could not get on to the
platform risked the hazard of a ride
on the car roof rather than remain
longer in Paris.
Many of the women left behind,
fearing that no more trains would be

gave assurance that they would run

PARIS, Aug. 6.-Charles Joffers,
commander-in-chief of the French
army, notified the war ministry to-
day that his forces were holding the
foe in check along the FrancoGerman
frontier. He stated that General Lu-
Mere. commanding the northern divis-
ion. has notified him that his forces
were ready to advance and join a Bel
giRn army at Tournai, as soon as it
was found necessary.
No official reports that French
troops had gone into Belgian territory
was received up to noon.
The little Information that can be
secured at the war ministry indicates
that the first big battle between the
German and French armies will be
fought on French territory. The main
forces of the Republic are at least five
miles from the Franco-German from
tier and will not advance until mob
1lizatiOn is complete.
Germany has been preparing for
this war for number of months, ac-
cording to information which came
here today. One proof is that all dur
ing the early part of the summer the
German government bought up all the
best saddle and Percheron horses that
1t could get. by buying many of them
at the Belgian fairs. The options were
taken by individuals, and the fact that
Germany was behind the purchases did
not become known until last week
when options on the horses were exer-
cised and orders were sent to ship the
animals to the German government.
