Germany Makes War on France and Russia;
Terrific Conflict Threatens Peace of Europe

Friday. no other result could be ex-
pected, hopes that the dread event
might be averted had been raised by
the Intervention of King George In
st. Petersburg and the fact that the
German Reichstag was not to be con
vened until Tuesday. Hence, the actual
declaration OF war had not been ex-
pected for another day of two.
Now the die is cast and Europe is to
be plunged into a general war which
has been the apprehension OF Euro
pean statesmen for generations. 1t
now is only a question of how soon
a state of actual war will exist be-
tween Germany and France.
Late Saturday night placards were
posted in Paris calling for general
mobilization, and the German ambas
sador, although he had not been hand
cd his passports. was preparing to
leave the French capital.
1t is not known at exactly what hour
Germans ultimatum to France. asking
that country to define what attitude
she would assume in case Of war by
Germany and Austria against Russia,
was to expire, but it is believed 1t
will not be long before diplomatic rela-
tons will be ruptured or war declared.
The German emperor and his ad-
yisers have maintained TO the last that
they made supreme efforts for peace,

peals from Emperor William to En-
peror NihColas vas a telegram repu-
dating responsibility for the calamity
threatening the world on the ground
that while Germany vas mediating
with Austria-Hungary at Russia's re-
quest. Russia. by her general mobiliza-
ton. was threatening Germany's
safety.
The first shots in the Russo-G1rman
wal were exchanged between patrols
Saturday near Prostken. l20 miles
southeast OF Konigsberg.
The only redeeming feature OF the
darkest prospect with which Europe
has been faced for half a century Is
that Italy has declared her neutrality.
How long that neutrality a be main
tanned is an exceedingly debatable
question.
Great Britain's position already has
been defined by Premier Asduith in
tho British Parliament. lie declared
she Is under no formal obligation TO go
TO tho assistance OF France in the
event OF an European "A The Brit
ish government has made full pre-
parations in both services for any
event.
The present position, therefore. Is
that Russia. France and Servia are ar.
rayed on one side against Austria
Hungary and Germany or the other.
How long the wal fare will be confined
TO this plane ii Is impossible TO fore
tell. nor can it be foretold whether
Belgium and Holland will be able TO
maintain their neutrality against their
powerful neiGhbors. or whether Great
Britain will find herself compelled to
send an expeditionaray force TO at
tempt to preserve that neutrality.
Another factor which has not been
given much consideration is the atti-
tude OF Turkey. which. II she has suf-
ficiently recovered from the effects OF
her late war with Italy, may be able
to throw considerable weight into the
scale. II is generally understood that
Germany has an effective understand
ing with Turkey which may lead to in
.teresting developments.

ENGLISH LORD WARNS
OF SHORTAGE UF FOOD

London, Sept. 2S.-A timely warning
to perpare against an inevitable shors-
age in the worlds supply of foodstuffs
is given by Lord Miner, who points
out that although the present harvest
is abundant, an immense decrease i'll
production in 1915 must result from
the fact that all the able-bodied males
of France, Germany, Austria and Rus
STA are now engaged in fighting.
Of the $50 million quarters of wheat
and rye annually produced throughout
the world, $50 millions come from
these countries, and other producing
countries cannot possibly make up tae
deficiency.
Lord Miner predicts that in the lat
ter half of next year. if not before, all
nations which live on wheat and rye
will be competing fiercely for a share
in the diminishing supply.
Farmers ought, says Lord Miner, to
rise to the emergency of their own az
cord. They have it in their power not
only to save the country from an i'm
minent catastrophe, but at the same
time to benefit themselves if they viii
only act with prompitude
