Neutral Luxembourg is occupied
England Prepares for Action
London, Aug. 3.-Violation of neu-
trail territory by Germany along the
frontier. raids by the German, Russian
and French troops, clashes between
outposts, the seizing of Russian Baf
tic port by German war ship, and
the seizure of merchandise ships by
Russia and Germany constituted the
striking features today of the war on
which virtually the whole continent
of Europe has started.
The position to be taken by the
British empire remains still to be de-
lined. but t was feared that Ger
many's seizure of Belgian territory
would be a deciding factor which
would lead Britain to take the sword,
as under, the treaty of London OF
1889 Great Britain stands pledged to
maintain Belgium's neutrality. Evi-
dences were not lacking of the grave
view of the situation taken by all
classes in the United Kingdom.
The leaders of the opposition par
ties were called into council and 1t
was reported that the recalling of
Field Marshal Earl Kitchener from
Egypt was a prelude to his appoint
ment as minister of war.
It was asserted IN authoritative
quarters that due warning had been

dier should set foot on Belgian soil
In spite of this and OF the prompt re-
fusal by the Belgian government to

Belgian neutrality, German forces pen

points on their way to the French
frontier.

sued a remarkable appeal for the neu
trality of England in the European
turmoil He said, in part:
! The maintenance of British neu
rality would in no way injure France
On the contrary it might be argued
that by remaining neutral, Great Bri
tain would give France exactly as
much strategic assistance and a good
deal more effective diplomatic help
as according to all reliable informa
tion there is no intention of sending
British troops to the continent and as
few British divisions. considering the
enormous numbers engaged, could

Washington, Aug 3-President VIII
son today appealed to the people Of
the United States to remain calm dur
ing this war in Europe, He declared
the United States owed it to mankind
to help the rest of the world during
the present crisis.
The white house authorized this
quotation from the presidents re-
marks to the Washington correspond
ents:
1T is extremely necessary, it is man
festly necessary, in the present state
Of affairs on the other side of tho
water, that you should be extremey
careful not to add in any way to the
excitement. OF course the European
world is in highly excited state OF
mind, but the excitement ought not
to spread to the United States. SO
far as we are concerned, there is no
cause for excitement. There is great
Inconvenience for the time being in
the money market, in our exchanges.
and the temporary delays in the ham
ding OF our crops, but America is alb
solutely prepared to meet the finan-
cial situation and to straighten every
thing out without any material diff
Guilty. The only thing that can pos
sibly prevent it is unreasonable ap-
prehension and excitement
IF l might make a suggestion to
you. gentlemen. therefore, 1 would
urge you not to give currency to any
unverified rumor or to do anything
that would tend to create or add to
excitement. l think that you win
agree that we must all at the present
moment act together as a mass in see
ing that America does not suffer any
unnecessary distress from what Is
going on in the world at large. The
situation in Europe is perhaps the
gravest in its possibilities that has
arisen in modern times, but it need
not affect the United States in the
long run Not that the United States
has anything to take advantage of,
but her own position is sound and she
owes it to mankind TO remain in such
a condition, and in such state OK
mind that she can help the rest OF
the world.
I'VE want to have the pride of feel
ing that America, if nobody else, has
her selfpossession and stands ready
with calmness of thought and steadi-
ness of purpose to help the rest OF
the world And we can do it and reap
a great permanent glory out of doing
it. provided we all cooperate to see
mat nobody loses his head.
Il know from my conference with
the secretary of the treasury. who Is
in very close touch with the financial
situation throughout the country. that
there is no cause for alarm. There is
cause for getting busy and doing the
thing in the right way. bat there is
no element of unsoundness and there
is no cause for alarm.
THE bankers and business men or
the country are cooperating with tha
government with zeal. intelligence
and spirit which makes the outcome
secure"
