Claims Right to Invade Canada.
Germany's right to land troops In
Canada. if possible, and thus secure
at least a temporary foothold on the
American continent, was upheld at
Washington, Sunday, by Count Won
Bernstorf, German ambassador here,
who declared this would not be a
violation of the Monroe doctrine.
The ambassador suggested that as
Canada was sending soldiers to
France to fight against his country.
the United States should not consider
1t in any sense an infringement on
the Monroe doctrine If Germany
land an armed force on Cana
dian soil.

officials at the department said later

BIG BATTLE EXPECTED SOON
all Great Powers Are Mobtlizing.
Skirmishes Promise That Big
Battle Is Coming.

London.-The first great battle OF
the war is but a matter Of a short
time. Fragmentary reports of Skin
mishes tell a story of the opening OF
skirmishes which promises to be one
of the most historic battles in modern
warfare.
All the great European powers ex-
cept Italy and most of the secondary
powers are mobilizing with all their
energy. Mobilization has not as yet
reached a stage where any OF the ar
mics have met in battle.
Italy, which declared her neutrality
will begin to mobilize officially, al
though the process probably is well
under way.
Great Britain's mobilization is near
ly completed, but she has not an
nounced that she will join in the gen
eral war.
War officially. exists between Aus
tria and Germany on one side anc
Russia, Servia and Montenegro on the
othcr. There had been no official dec
laration of war between Germany ane
France on either side. But the Ger
man ambassador in Paris received or
ders to demand his passports.
The most important event was Gel
nany's demand upon Belgium, In tn
form of a 12-hour ultimatum, that tn
German troops be permitted to eros
Belgium to the French frontier cou
pied with the promise that Belgian II
tegrity should remain u~nimpaired a
the end of the war and that Belgium
refused to accede ON the grounds Q
