suddenly. without apparent reason. Ger
many and Austra-TIungary are already
at war with Russia. France. Great Brit.

ment Germany may be at war with Hol-
land. Italy and Rumnnia are almost GER
tain to come in as soon as Russian
troops appear In strength on their from

What caused the war? Our answer 10
that Germany was ready and determin ed
She thought thar we, Russia and France,
were neither ready nor determined and
she therefore struck. Germany began her
preparations for war as soon as the Kiel
Canal was finished. that is as soon as In
her belief her readiness was at its maxi

The new England Is not fighting for
dominion nor to deprive any Power OF It's
right or independence. Realizing this,
with that instinct for justice and right
