WILL ENGLAND JOIN
IN THE IMPENDING
GENERAL CONFLICT
British Press Sees Seriousness
of Crisis and Fears the
Worst Is to Come

( London. July 3l.--WilI England
fight in the event of Russia and
/ France engaging in hostilities? This
is the question which is probably
most keenly debated at the moment
/ from one end Of Europe to the other,
The Times this morning handled the
question in no doubtful manner. de-
clarsng that England would have no
other course if France should De In
volved. The Morning Post spoke in
similar manner, but was not quite
so direct
/ II Is of little use to look for guild
ance to London's radical press, but
none can deny the significance OF the
utterances OF the great provincial
liberal organs such as the Manchester
Guardian and the Liverpool Post.
These papers, while protesting strong
ly that the present quarrel IN no con-
Germ OF England's. show plainly that
/ they believe and fear that the British
! government. for the moment at least
does seriously contemplates drawing
the sword.
/ The Guardian this morning refers
. tc IICiAiCl <ASQuili1 pNl dSc III HIS
speech IN the house OF commons yes
/ terday. in which he said that the
situation is one of extreme gravity"
and says:
( 1T is a phrase rather more serious
than used by any English minister
before, Mr.. Asquith Goes not use
E Idle phrases, and the words extreme
gravity on his lips are danger signal
of which note must be taken
"a L. 49, a
1 duty is to England and peace In
+ England, the paper proceeds:
Although our neutrality ough, to
be assured, 1t Is not. Mr.. Asquith
speaks. with a brevity, which would
! be natural. perhaps. II we were di-
rectly concerned, but quite unnatural
X 1t were certain. as 1t ought to be,
that we should not be involved. Sir
Edward Grey walks deliberately past
his opportunities by saying; We are
and will be neutral in the auarreis Of
Europe
From. the admiralty. we have
! omlnous rumors of naval concentra-
tons, and the house of commons
/ hastens to efface itself by unanimous
! ly deciding not to discuss the political
uses to which the navy may be put.
+ or why 1t should be put to any use at
all in this crisis"
Il. II the Guardian thus interprets the
seriousness OF the statements made
yesterday by Premier AsQuith and SiE
Edward Grey. those which those
statesmen made today must be far
more disquieting to those who are
opposed to Great Britain entering the
fray. No prominent man viii consent

Lavender Overcomes Tendency To
Explode in Sixth.

Louisville managed to get in game,
the National Leaguers coping by
score of 6 to 1. Free hitting on the
part of the Cubs was responsible for
the victory
And Jimmy Lavender also gave
cause for rejoicing among West Side
fans. The spitban exponent travelled
the full nine innings and was as good
at the finish as at the start. Three
hits were all the Colonies could accu-
mulate, five of them famed and three
walked.
The manner in which Lavender
went through the game was encour-
aging. During last season, and part
of the year before, Montezuma Jim
was marvel for six innings. Then,
though he claimed he did not feel
himself weakening, he usually faded,
and was severely trimmed. If all ball
games had ended at the sixth inning
Lavender would have had one of the
best records ever made in the big
league.
All sorts of schemes were tried to
overcome this tendency on the part
of the blond boy. He was given long
rests, his arm was massaged, and he
experimental with a different style of
delivery. In 1912 Lavender said he
was handicapped by the style Chance
forced him to employ.
But Chance was not present last
year, and agar Jim experienced the
same failing along in the waist of the
game. His ascensions became so fire.
quent that he was withdrawn from
regular service, and employed only
in the role of rescuer.
The past winter he nursed himstlf
along carefully. When he reported to
O'Day it was with the information
that he was able to go nine innings,
and go right. Several Of the vets
were skeptical, but jim said he had

Washington, d. c. June 22.-For
more than fifty years there have been
men who dreamed of the coming of
a day when ships might freely sail
from any port on the Great Lakes to
any port on all the Seven Seas. Is
this splendid dream about to become
a still more splendid reality?
During the last session of congress
Senator Charles f. Townsend of Mich
igan introduced a resolution author
izing the president to enter into
treaty relations with Great Britain
and the Dominion of Canada for the
purpose of converting the boundary
waters between the United States
and Canada into ocean waterways.
The resolution passed the senate
unanimously, went to the president,
who, in turn, referred the resolution
to the secretary Of state There il
rested for a long time, when, finally,
Senator Townsend, growing impatient
over the delay in reporting upon the
