Is On Defensive

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-An official communal
cation, published here today concerning
the beginning Of the war. says:
/ I'm consequence of Russian attack on
German territory. Germany IL in a state
of war with Russia.
THE French reply to Cermanys note
has been received in the meantime and is
of unsatisfactory character. In addition,
France has ordered the mobilization OF its
army, so that the outbreak of war be-
tween Germany and France must be
awaited at any moment"
Another semi-official communication, is
sued today. says:
while no German soldier has yet set
foot on French soil, official reports from
the frontier. state that French troops in
bodies as large as a company crossed the
German frontier at Gottesthal, Netzeral.
Markcich and the Schlucht Pass, before
there was any declaration OF war.
"a breach of neutrality also has been
committed through the fact that French
military airmen in great numbers have
flown over Belgium and Dutch territory
on their way to Germany"
| NJ. Sverbiev. the Russian ambassador,
was handed his passports this morning.
Dealing with the question of Great
Britains obligations. Sir Edward Grey,
said:
up to yesterday we bad given no
promise of more than diplomatic support
I was asked at the time of the Algeria
crisis II We would give armed support,
and said l could promise nothing to any
foreign power unless It received the
whole-hearted support OF public opinion.
Il gave no promise. but I told both the
French and German ambassadors that II
war. was forced on France, public opinion
in the British Isles would rally to
France"
This part of the speech was received
with loud cheering.
The foreign secretary stated that the
British fleet had been modified and the
mobilization of the British army was
taking place. but that no engagement had
yet been made by the British government
to send an expedition abroad. He con-
tinued:
THE French fleet Is In the Mediter-
ranean and the northern coasts OF France
are defenseless. II a foreign fleet en-
gagged In war against France should come
down and battle against those defenseless
coasts we could not stand aside.
I'VE feel strongly that France was en-
titled to know at once whether in the
event OF an attack on its unprotected
coasts It could rely on our support.
II gave the information to the French
ambassador last night that II the German
fleet goes into the English channel OF into
the North sea to attack French shipping,
or the French coast. the British fleet will
give all the protection In its power.
j That answer is subject TO the approval
