 ANTICIPATED

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-The Petit Journal this morning says that from all indications. Germany is about to renew its atrocious war fare.

This is taken to mean, says the Journal, that the world will soon witness wholesale mur- ders of women, children and men whose only desire is to be left at peace.
 Every paper in the city is loud in warning the people to keep away from the temptation of travelling on the water. That Germany is thirsting for blood of the innocents as we'll as for those which she considers her enemies.
