 AGAINST ALLIES
A-

DON. Aug. 4.-That Germany
 .ts to launch terrific drive at k Allies lines along the west front as soon as the Teutons complete the work they are now doing at Warsaw is accepted as a foregone conclusion. According to Amsterdam dispatches, travellers to Holland from Ghent say that in the last three days all sick and wounded German soldiers in the hospitals in Ghent have been remoy- ed to the interior of Germany.

POPE'S PEACE PLANS
 DON'T PLEASE LONDON

BERLIN. Aug. 2.-The plan of the pope to have each of the belligerent nations of Europe state the terms on which she would agree to peace for the purpose of trying to adjust the differences that exist between them in such a way as to bring about peace on the continent does not please the British press. The more that the matter is discussed here, the more distasteful 1t appears to the people.
 "We had no choice in the matter in 1914 when Germany refused to listen to oyertures for a settlement of the trouble and rushed an army into Belgium. and ,se have no choice in the matter now but to see the war to a successful finish"
 The London papers without excep- ton are incensed at the Pope's sug- festion that the Nations are equally to blame for the beginning of the fratricldal strife and equally responsi- ble for it's continuation

BRITISH EMPIRE
 UNITED BY WAR

LONDON. Aug. S.-The Daily News says: "The readiness and enthusiasm with which the overseas dominions have accepted their part in the strug- gle for the preservation of British liberties is perhaps the most gratify- ing feature of the war. The welcome given Sir Robert Borden at the Gild- hall is small witness of the feeling that their devotion has aroused in this country.
 Whatever results the war may have, it will assuredly have a profound effect in strengthening the spiritual bonds between this Empires free peo- ples
 What reactions upon political as- sociations may be we cannot yet at tempt to guess. but they, too, will undergo important changes as the re- suit of the experiences through which we are passing.
 "The Kaiser, who hoped to bring the Empire to ruin, will, in the end, have given it new and deeper foun- dations."

GREAT BRITAIN

 AID FROM BALKANS

LONDON, Aug. S.-The supreme confidence of the British government in spite of the Russian disasters of the past several months is believed to be due in large measure to an "un- derstanding" that exists with the Bal kan countries The note of optimism as to the Balkan situation that occurr- ed in the speech delivered to the Commons by Premier Asquith just be- fore the adjournment of Parliament is believed to be based on more sub stantial circumstances than he out lines in his remarks.
 It is believed that if the looked for offensive by Austria against Italy should meet with disaster and tho Al lies should prevent the Germans from breaking their lines on the western front, both eventualities which are ex- pected in London. that the Balkan countries and Greece will enter the war with the Allies.
