LONDON, Aug. 3.-Sir Edward Grey, foreign minister in the House of Commons, in urging the passage of the bill to appropriate $250,000,- 900 for the army and navy, said: Germany has violated the treaty of 1867, which guaranteed the neutral. ity of Belgium and Holland. England cannot stand by and see Holland and Belgium ravished by the Germans and the coast of France swept by Germans guns. England must be true to her treaty obligations and aid her friends. German victory means English destruction.

 HAVE DOG RACE
We'll well! What do you know about

Well well What do you know about this?
 The wonderful success of the fourth an nuu New Years dog race has caused & great epidemic of the racing fever to break out in the neighborhood of Flat City, and casual survey of the afflicted region shows that it has been very partial to the ladies
 f that town, and from the way the racing dope was doled out to The Pioneer yesterday afternoon over the phone, about half the female population have developed very wig orous cases. And whats more, the con tagion IS fast spreading to all the remote parts of the district
 The first signs of the epidemic were no ticed yesterday afternoon, and Tn less time than it requires to tell 1t arrangements were being made for a dog team race for lady drivers to be pulled of on the llth of this month, and over S1O0 toward the purse was raised in very few minutes. The novel idea seemed to meet with popular approval, and the promoters inform Inc flOneeT lHdt they will have no difficulty in securing nurse of $500 for the event. The purse will be divided into three prizes, and 1t IS stipulated that the winners are to give the losing drivers and invited friends ban quet. The starting place of the race is to be decided by dice sh aking.
 Our immediate vicinity has among the women folks many who are capable of handling dogs in frst-class manner, and race such as is proposed would be most in teresting. Among the most enthusiastic for the contest is Mrs. Swanson of Flat City, who has signihed her willingness to enter a team, and says that she will only drive three dogs. Mrs Stanford' and Mrs. Grouse, it is understood, have also decided to con- test for prizes. Without doubt Discovery and Iditarod will also be we'll represented in the race.

 "Mr. Jones is making some repairs on his furnace. He must save lot of money that way"
 "Mr. Jones raised his own chickens last year and they had all the chickens and eggs they could eat. He is going to do the same thing this year"
