Its cost 40 cents cubic foot which is declared to
be not materially greater than that Of ordinary brick

AS compared with houses otherwise similar but built
of wood in the common way this cost about 40 per
cent more. The advance the usual brcland-flame
house about 70 per cent while the house of scco or
tile as built in general practice costs within Is per cent
as much

This frightful accident was near
Cameo, or . mile east Of Tunnel and
was the worst ever recorded in that
section although fortunately it did not
claim the life toll in comparison with
the terrible New Castle wreck of . few

disaster east Of Glenwood.

the accident occurred rises sheer abOv"
the Grand river for about two hundred
feet and as the special train from Glen
wood went down on Saturday, just
about twenty-four hours previous to
the terrible disaster many Of our citi-
xens gazed up at the overhanging
ledge and prophesied danger, but little
did they then think they were 80 near
to such an unfortunate tragedy.
But without = sign of warning the
huge twenty ton boulder dropped down
the mountain, gathering momentum as
it came and when it struck the train
the steel day coach which was directly
in its path was crushed as though it
were an eggshell. The engine, broken
loose from the balance of the train,
tore on down the road, but the day
coach and all following it was halted
instantly.

FRENCH AGGRESSION
BLAMED BY GERMANY
Statement Declares Attacks on
Border UnWarranted.

Berlin, Aug. "A further official
communication regarding French acts
of hostility against Germany was
published here. It said:
"The German troops hitherto have
obeyed the orders given by the Ger.
man commanders not to cross tha
French frontier. French troops on
the contrary have made several at
tacks on the frontier posts without
any declaration of war having been
made. a..
"The French have crossed the from.
tier at several places in spite of tho
fact that the French government q
few days ago informed us that It
would not infringe on the unoccupied
zone of six miles from the frontier
and companies of French troops have
been in occupation of a number OF
German villages.
French army aeronauts have been
flying over Baden and Bavaria and
have violated Belgian neutrality by
flying over Belgian territory into the
province of the Rhine in an effort to
destroy our railways.
In this way France has opened the
attack on us and has established q
state of war which has compelled the
German empire to take defensive
measures for the security of it's ter.
ritory,"

DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPE

Announcement of the definite policy
of the British cabinet, which it was
expected the prime minister would
make in parliament, was postponed.
Sir Edward Grey, in the commons.
reviewed the situation and although
he used qualifying phrases his words
were taken generally to mean that
Great Britain is committed to war.
The German ambassador at Paria
was ordered by the emperor to de-
mand his passports.
The mobilization of most of tho
countries of Europe virtually has been
completed. Holland has been invaded
at Limburg by German troops.
Germany has issued white book,
justifying her action with respect to
Russia, and at the same time German
diplomats at London are using their
utmost efforts to win Great Britain to
a position of neutrality.
Few reports of actual military
movements are being received, ow.
ing to the censorship.

British Public for War.

London, Aug. 4.-There is absolute.
ly no doubt that the sentiment of the
British public is for war. The ap.
peals of the pacificists get no hearing.
Not one man in hundred in London
seemingly wants the nation to remain
neutral. Germany, through her diplo-
mats. has tried to keep Great Britain
out by virtual offer to refrain from
using her navy against France as the
price of Great Britain's neutrality.
