BRITAIN READY FOR LONG
AND EXHACSTING CONFLICT

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The passage
of war budget for $500, 900, 900 in
the house OF commons without dis
senting voice, and the granting of an
army increase of 100000 men, in ac-
cordance with the plans of Lord
Kitchener. the new minister of war,
shows that Great Britain is in deadly
earnest. A call to arms issued by the
war office says an addition of 100, 900
men to the regular army is needed
Immediately, and that Lord Kitch-
ener is confident this appeal will at
once be responded to by all who have
the safety of our empire at heart"
The term of service for the new
men is to be three years, or until the
war is ended. The age of enlistment
will be between l9 and 30.
The naval estimates provide for
$1,000 additional officers and men,
which will make the navy's strength
21s.000 men.
There is no illusion in England
that the war is certain TO be a swift
and decisive one The people are
steeled for a long and exhaustive
struggle.
Londoners had the first realization
of war when hundreds of commuters
taking their trains at the Victoria
station. were surprised to see 81 Ger
man prisoners guarded by file OF
the West Kent regiment with fixed
bayonets. The Germans were naval
reservists who had been taken from
their ships and made prisoners o.
