TELEGRAPH TO BLAME FOR WAR.

In the twelve fatal days bctwec1 July 23 and August 1 of last year, things were happening with a rush.
 The telegraph was sizzling between tke capitals of Europe. #
 There was no time for reflection. The intellect of . Caesar or a Bona parte would have been unequal to the task of grasping all the issues in volved and to foresec the results.
 This, at least. is the belief of. Lord Bryce. former British ambassador at Washington. He attributes the con fldct to the invention of the tclc graph. j.
 Had the communications passed by written despatches as they would have done eighty years ago, it is prob able that war might have been avoid ed," he told the British academy.
 There is more than bare possbit- ity that Lord Bryce is right.
