London.-"On the Brink of War" is
the headline with which The Times
sums up the situation, in which there
seems to be but one CLEAN of hope
that Europe will be preserved from
the greatest catastrophe in history.
The British navy is prepared for
war at a moments notice, and the
British army is preparing quietly and
swiftly. The War Office throws cold
and has issued another carefully fran
ed official notice to the newspapers
that only "the usual precautions are
being taken.
Nevertheless, every step necessary
to place the land forces on a war foot
ing, except the summoning of the ter
ritorials to arms, has been taken. All
the territorial officers received orders
to be prepared for call to duty.
A large section of the engineers
staff of the territorials has been or
dered on duty. It consists Of electri-
clans, mine layers, bridge builders
and searchlight and lighthouse ex-
perts. Some of these forces are being
sent to Ireland to replace the engi-
neers of the regular army all of
whom have been withdrawn from that
place for duty in connection with the
land defenses, particularly on the
eastern coast.
The forces at Aldershot have been
reinforced by numerous detachments
from other points, and a battalion OF
the Duke of Cornwall's regiment
which was about to embark for Hong
kong, has been detained.
The searchlight stations on the
eastern coast, whose office is to guard
against surprise invasion, and which
usually are manned by skeleton
stats, are manned fully, largely by
