London, England, August Pour
great powers of Europe, Austria, Rus
STA. France and Germany, are now en-
gagged i'll actual warfare, but two of
them-Germany and France-have not
only not declared war as far as is
known here, but have not even severed
diplomatic relations. This is despite
the fact that Germany's ultimatum to
France has either been ignored or re
jected
The explanation of this would appear
to be that Germany and France are
each seeking to throw upon tine other
The onus of beginning the war. In fact,
while the nations of Europe are flying
at each others threats, they are vyins
with each other in protesting their de
slres to maintain peace and they repu-
date the responsibility for plunging
the whole continent into fighting.
In this curious situation France, ac-
cording to British opinion has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobolize and seems to
Lave taken the greatest precautions t.
void frontier collisions.

HOME FROM HOSPITAL

Mrs. G. H. Reynolds, who submit
ted to surgical operation at Roches-
ter, Mimi, recently, returned home
Saturday morning and says that she
is feeling just fine, with the excep-
ton of a little weakness. She is
sorry that she was not operated on
three years ago. She has suffered
untold agony for hiccoughs at times
for the past several years and while
enroute to the hospital suffered all
of one night. Mrs. Reynolds has not
had an attack of them since her op-
Grafton, and says that when she re-
covers her strength she expects to be
herself again. Her many friends
will hope this will be the case. She
is very thankful to the Woman's Re-
lief Corps for the beautiful bouquet
of flowers and to the many friends
that remembered her with the postal
shower while she was at the hospital.
