London, Aug. 4.-Great Britain de-
clared war on Germany tonight
The momentous decision of the Brit
ish government, for which the whole
world has been waiting, came before
the expiration of the time limit set by
Great Britain in her ultimatum to Ger
many demanding satisfactory reply
on the subject of Belgian neutrality
Germany's reply was the summary re
lection of the request that Belgian
neutrality should be respected.
The British ambassador at Berlin
thereupon received his passports, and
the British government notified Ger
many that state of war existed be
tween the two countries.
AustriaH Hungary and Germany are
opposed by Russia, France and Great
Britain, Servia and Montenegro.
Italy has declared her neutrality, but
is mobilizing. Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland have mobilized
The German demand that the Bel
gian government should permit the
free passage of German troops through
Belgium was answered by hasty pre-
parations to resist such an advance
across the Belgian territory. Sweden
has made no reply to Russia's inquir-
les. Japan is making ready to live
up to her alliance with Great Britain
in case of certain eventualities. Spain
is reported to be preparing a procla-
nation of neutrality.
Austria-H Hungary for the moment has
retired from her campaign against
Servia for the purpose of holding back
Russia, and Servia has modified with
the reported intention of invading Bos-
mia.
London a Hotbed of Patriotism
The official declaration of war came
with a shock. Immense crowds sur
rounded the newspaper offices and the
streets resounded with cheers for the
empire.
Never since the memorable Pretoria
night has this city witnessed such a
spontaneous outburst of patriotism. All
night bands paraded at the heads of
crowds waving flags and cheering for
the king and for the country.
