Rising of Masses of Their Paris, Aug. 3.--The deep indigna- tion caused in France by Germany's methods in beginning the war is voiced by the Temps, which says: "Up to the last moment tue) French and Russian governments have given Germany credit for act- ing in good faith; there is now no longer doubt that it is an ambush. Russians, Frenchmen and English- men must stand united against the powers of brigandage, who have just been unmasked. "The British government yester- day informed the German ambassa- dor that England could net remain neutral. We did not desiré this war, but since it was forced upon us, | with good heart we will wage it. "For forty years Germany has prowled around us with the cohstant idea of striking a blow with mini- mum risk, but by prolonging the menace she has taught us our lesson. "Germany attacks us now at an hour when all our material and mor- al forces stand in united array against her. The war thrust upon us i8 a war of piracy. The French people, with magnificent union, hurls itself to the fray as' a single man.' Rise To Defense Of Cou The lobby of the cham of depu- ties was crowded yesterday with members, many in uniform, and all eagerly discussing the crisis, All agreed, with distinction of party, to vote without discussion the measures the government will ask for the de- of sthe country in face of the which is now clearly manifeste: All the museums and ma in Paris have been closed, the various staffs having gone to war. All possible measures have been taken to insure that Pare avill not lack for food. Special trains have been reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, particularly milk. In the event of the home supply being in- adequate, a decree, suspending the prohibi tion on the importation of fresh meat, appears in the Gazette to-day, thus assur- ing large supplies from Argentina and other parts of the world in the near future. Severe regulations will be rigor- ously applied against persons at- tempting to profit in the present state of affairs by increasing the price of the necessities of life. Priests Going to Front. Although the church has no official status in France, the applicatién of a number of priests to act as chap- lains with forces have been grant- ed and they have received permis- sion to leave at once. They are to be attached to the medical corps. In addition, the pope has given special authorization to young priests serv- ing as soldiers to administer all the sacraments. One of the vicars-general of the archbishopric of Paris, who return- ed from Alsace by the last train getting through, said "The people of Alsace-Lorraine are calm.

He says that Germany has not declared war, and that the German ambassador has not left Paris, yet the German troops are invading France. "Our pacific intentions," he adds, "may be judged from the fact that, although we knew what was going on, withdrew the French troops ten kilometers from the frontier in or der to prevent a conflict." THe ambassador recounts the gon eral facts in the situation and con elu : "It is well that at the beginninz théyworld should know these facts." Not "Hostile Measure."
