ed war upon Russia unless its plans
for rapid attack had been entirely
completed. Where or how the first
blow will be struck is matter Of the
widest speculation.

quest as to the formers attitude in

Germany could count confidently on it
being so. Therefore, according to spe-
culation in London early today, the
eventful news is likely to show that
Germany has taken an unsatisfactory
reply from France for granted and
while declaring war on Russia has
struck or has made her chief prepare
lions to strike at France. This, of
course is pure speculation, and can be
taken for what it is worth.
The established facts, bearing on the
crisis in yesterdays developments,
are important to note. The first is
that the effort made by King George
to bring influence to bear on the car
in favor of peace failed of effect. The
terms of the kings telegram are
guarded as the strictest secret.
The second development was a con-
firmation of the report that Italy
would remain neutral as long as it was
assured that its interests were not
menaced.

London, Aug. 2,-(Sunday)-That
Germany has declared war against Rus
STA; that Italy will remain neutral and
that the British fleet is on its way to
an unknown destination is all the real
news of the European war situation
actually confirmed here. 1t seems
nothing can avert an opening of a
terrible war today.
Premier Asquith has called an i'm

day and it is believed here this SEES

Lii q hour after a Central News dis
-a.c. from Paris raised hopes by the
announcement that Germany had ex-
tended by to-ty-eight hour (until Mon
car 1oon) the period wherein Ger
many would accept replies to her ''ul-
Inarums" to Russia and France.
The German ambassador to Russia,
Immediately after serving formal no
tice of his majesty's declaration Of
war against Russia, demanding and re-
ceiving his passports. He then return
ed to the embassy, where his official
staff was in waiting. All Of the Ger
mans then went to the st. Petersburg
railroad station where an imperial
train, guarded by infantry and artil-
lery, was in waiting, and on it the
trip to the frontier was begun.
The first of these ultimatums was
one demanding that Russia cease mo-
bilization in twelve hours. The Sc
cond was a note, presented by Baron
Won Schoen, German ambassador at
Paris, to Foreign Minister Viviani, call
ing upon France to inform Germany
whether, in the event of the outbreak
of war between Germany and Russia,
France would remain neutral
These notes were regarded as diplo-
matte skirmishing, designed to cover
the hard fact that Germany was bend
ing all her energies to delivery of an
initial blow which might affect the
whole course of the war which has
now officially begun. In the history OF
modern warfare, an official declaration
of war is either accompanied or pre-
ceded by an actual stroke of war.
In London today it is believed Ger
many would not have officially declar-

who sought to make some money for
themselves and to damage the Union
cause abroad. Hence the selection of
steamer day for the publication of the
proclamation"
Mr.. Howard was sent a prisoner to
Fort Lafayette.
The severity of the government In deal
ing with the case gave the administratio .
political opponents capital they were not
slow in employing. Mr.. Howard was a
Republican. and many a biting shaft
was directed at him in the Democratic
press. which also denounced as a high
handed outrage" the administration's
suppression of the World and the Jour
nal of Commerce.
Beecher Pleads with Lincoln.
Meanwhile the author Of the hoax re-
manned in Fort Lafayette The political
element in his case and his connection
with Beecher's church were eventually to
effect his release, after three months
Imprisonment.
Mr.. Beecher made a personal appeal to
Lincoln in Mr.. Howard's behalf Al
though a groundless story-which stuck
to Lincoln like a burp-to the effect that
Lincoln had passed Through Baltimore,
when enroute to Washington for his In
augural, disguised in Scotch cap and
a long military cloak, was attributed to
Mr.. Howard, Lincoln listened attentively
to the eloquent preacher. who pleaded for
leniency to the author of the bogus proc
lamation.
The story of Mr. Beecher's interview
with the President In behalf of Mr.. How
ard has never been given In authoritative
details. There was no Carpenter at hand
with pencil and brush to record the event
and depict the scene. The Brooklyn pas
tor was said to nave been at his best in
pathetic apteal. He left no palliating
fact unstated. He gave vent to the full
ness Of his sympathetic nature When
he had finished President Lincoln was
almost inclined to offer an apology for
the part which the administration had
taken for thus summarily arresting citi-
zen without due process Of law.
On August % the President wrote the
Secretary of War: II very much wish to
oblige Henry Ward Beecher by releasing
Howard, but I wish you to be salts
fed when it is done. What say your
To this Mr.. Stanton replied: II have no
objection II you think II right-and this
a proper time"
Lincoln then wrote this order: Let
Howard, imprisoned in regard to the
bogus proclamation, be discharged"
Accordingly, on August %, Mr.. Howard
was released.
Not many weeks afterward he was ap-
pointed military recorder of the Depart.
ment of the East. He won high posi-
ton in newspaper work, and many promi-
nent papers published his versatile pro-
ductions in later years.
