Mysterious Note
Excites England
BY LAURENCE ELSTON.

LONDON, Aug. 3. - A mys-
terious dispatch received early
today at the admiralty office sent
the high officials there into a high
pitch OF excitement. Immediately
after the dispatch was received
Winston Churchill rushed over to
Buckingham palace and had an
audience with King George.
There was no hint given out
at the admiralty Office as to the
contents of the dispatch or from
whom it came. However, their
actions evidenced the fact that
they feel the war situation in Eu-
rope has reached a point where
England will have to be involved.
Many thousand persons lined
the streets.

them behind, and everywhere some
touching scenes were enacted when

forced upon them by the acts of the
German emperor.
I'VE don't want war" they cried
War is needless. And such a war as
we seem TO face now will be horrible
But long ago we pedged our Wbrd
that If Germany ever engaged in war
we wOud go back and fight for it.
And now, no matter what the sacri-
flee. we are returning"
