Germany became involved in war with Russia, Augusy 1st, 1914, be cause of Russia's sympathy with Ser- bia at the time of the assassination of the Crown Prince of Austria. German troops, immediately en- tered France, and Luxemburg and England found it no longer possible to stand aside, because of her por- dial relations with France. : Germany next demanded the un opposed passage of her troops through Belgium, a neutral country, protected from the attacks of the Great Nations by the Treaty of Lon- don, signed in 1839 by Britain, Aus- tria, France, Russia apd Germany. Germany looked upon this treaty as nere scrap of paper." to be torn up at will, but England regarded her written word as a solemn pledge to proteet Belgium. England protested against the passing of German troops through Belgium and declared war on Ger- many, on August 5th, and on Aus- tria August 12th. Had Belgium yielded to Germany's demand, the German fleet would soon have occupied Belgian ports and endangered England's com- mand over the English Channel, and rendered her liable to attack. England is fighting to prevent Germany from conquering the small nations in order to make herself the one great World Power. That would mean the triumph of German mili- tarism which wastes millions of lives to gain its ends. : The British Empire then, is at war: (1) for the honour of her writ- ten word in treaty; (2) for the safe- ty of her country and her posses- sions all over the world: (3) for freedom of life and equal rights for all nations; (4) for her very life as an Empire. "QO triune kingdom of the brave, O sea-girt island of the free, O empire of the land and wave, Our hearts, our hands, are all for thee. i, Canadians, firmly stand, Round the flagwef our Motherland." a Star By "Jack" McCullough. . The present struggle of the Euro- pean nations is the greatest war that has ever been known since the world began. The countries of Europe are not alone engaged, but also their colonies which are situated in all parts of the world. Britain figures very largely in this conflict, her do- mains are the vastest, her people are as far, or farther advanced in civili- zation, her government and laws are better than any other" nation on the globe, This great catastrophe befell the great European powers, June 28th, 1914, when the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Aus- tria set fire to the fuse. But this was not our Motherland's causes which were ample for entering the war. Belgium has long been the '""Cock- pit of Europe' because of the many great battles which have been fought on her territory. Towards the be- ginning of «the 19th century, the na- tions signed the "Neutrality of Bel- gium" by which Belgium promised to allow no nation to ecfess her land, the other natidns promised they would respect this neutrality. Ger- many one of these nations violated this treaty by erossing Belgium land The brave Belgium people offered a stout resistance and managed to hold the Huns at bay for a time. Britain who was by honor bound to respect this neutrality, reluctantly - declared {| war on Germany and her Allies. "We stand as guardians ef the weak" We burst the oppressor's chain. Britain's friend France was also being invaded Without a sufficient it cause by the Germans, she could not Ii} stand off and allow this. This is a4 war to end wars the Germans have preached that war is good, and a blessing, without war we have no other way to show Germany that this is #glse, and she must not break { international laws, and go unpunish- ed. For our own safety and the | safety of our Empire. In the cause of liberty and civilization nations as well as individuals must keep prom- ises if civilization is to be advanced. The German policy and preparation show they e determined to fight, and subdue gland, and thus be- tome rulers of the world. When the crisis of July, 1914, oc- curred, Great Britain did her best to arrange a friendly settlement, her 4 effort failed 'and now we are deter- mined to show the German nation, and all: other nations, that break Jnjernational laws, that this must nut and cannot be done. "Hearts of oak are our ships, hearts of oak are our men, We always are ready,' * Steady, boys, steady, We'll fight and we'll copquer again and again." + Ce. By Johan A Saunders.

The British Empire is now' engag- ed in the greatest war the world has ever known. This great befell the great European June 28th, 1914, when the assassin- ation of Francis Ferdinand, of Aus! tria, took place at Sarapevo gpd set the ball rolling. Of course it has been the sleeping and waking thought of the Kaiser of Germany to become master of the world and he was glad of an excuse to. fight. The nations signed the "Neutrality of Belgium', by which no nation was to cross her land because sO many battles had been fought on her ground. The other nations promis- ed to keep their ward but Germany broke hers. She didn't care a straw about her word. So England would not allow that. She was in honor bound to take Belgium's part. She wasn't going to let big nations ride over and crush small nations and all her colonies back her up in whatever she does. Because of her friendship- and treaty with France, she could not see her friends invad- ed and not come to her aid. Since England has colonies __ all over the world the colonies drawn in. They are all helping es- pecially our own Canada, by sending men, money, food, horses, ships and ammunition. Canada will keep on sending more men as long as they are needed. I wish I were a man and 1 would go also. The Allies have every hope of winning this war, but it will be a long hard struggle. NOT A SERIOUS CRISIS. Appearances In England One Decep- tive--Only a Divirsion. New rk Herald It ance of .the political wrangling now going on in England. The politi- cians are always as it in the face of any great national crisis. Not one of them, however, will go as far as to take steps which will precipitate a general election. Gallipoli, Bals kan, diplomacy, conscription and threatened revolution are all invelv- ved in the situation, and there would | not be the slightest trouble in any | of them if the English censorship ! had been obliged for the last three) months to bridle the malevolent "freedom of the press." What nonsense 'it appears to be to bring Sir Ian Hamilton clear home from the Dardanelles merely to ex- plain what every English editor knows, if he would but admit it, that the difficulties of thq Dardan- elles are exactly the difficulties on the western front in France. The invaders are facing a line of fortifi- catiops, 'which the Herald recently described as "a series of Sebasto- pols," on the land side. It was the offensiVe «of England that has forced Germany to expand her operations, perhaps fatally -to Germany. As to internal troubles in Eng- land, there has been one mistake on the part of the newspapers in con- stantly threatening conscription, keeping the whole public wrought up in a state of fright and insecurity and another mistake on the part of Y labor unions and their supporters in | threatening that if conscription 'were resorted to they would resist with force--in other words, embroil Eng- land in a revolution at home, But there is no reason to suppose that Sir Edward Carson's resignation or Mr. Asquith's indisposition means that England is going to be involved in what would be worse than a riot by the labor unions-- a general 'el- ection in the face of the enemy. Brain Amputation. One of the wonders of surgical science has beem performed in a French military hospital where a wounded soldier has had a sixth of his brain amputated without miss ing it. Tha patient was carried in with. a serious affection in the . region of the cranium. Splinters of bone had caused an abs- cess to form in the left gerbral hemis- phere, These were rethoved by Dr. A. Guepin, surgeon-in-chief to: the hospital, but a fresh abscess form- ed, and Dr. Guepin was obliged on two occasions to amputate portions of the brain which protruded from the wound. The patient thus lost at least a third of the left hemisphere, but shows no special signs of treu- ble, either of motivity, sensibility, or ideation. | Albert, King of Belgium, disaster powers, | wera | is eagy to magnify the import-| 1 ALBERT WAS PLEASED. "~ Verses in His Honor Elicited Letter of Appreciation. Signal recognition has come to Dr. Thomas O'Hagan of Paisley, Ontario, in tire form of a letter from the secre tary of the King of Belgium, ex- pressing appreciation of some verses written by him 'entitled, "Take Off My Hat to Albert." The verses were originally read at a meeting of| the Women's Press Club in Toronto, and a member suggested that an illum inated and engraved copy be sen} to Belgium's heroic King. This was done through the medium of the Belgian Consul-General aj Otthwa. The verses and the ackncwledgment follow: I Take Off My Hat to Albert. is the hero of the hour; 1 He's the greatest King in Europe, he's a royal arch and tower; He is bigger in the trenéhes than the Kaiser en his throne, And the whole world loves him for the sorrows he has known: So I take off my bat to Albert! i ' { Defiance was his answer to the Teu- ton at his gate, Then he buckled on his armor and pledged his soul to: fate; He stood between his people and the biggest Essen gun, For he feared net shot nor shrapnel as his little army won: So I take off my hat to Albert!

Under the heading "Our Barkrupt Lady of the Snows" there appears in | the most recent issue of the Father- {land a fantastic, fever-pfompted story of conditions in Canada. The Fatherland is a journal published in English in the United States, bitterly pro-German and financed, it lis said, by- the German Government.! It is | claimed that it was the mouthpiece of Dr. Bernhard Dernburg. Articles frequently appear from the pen of | Albert Kaltschimdt, so well known in | Canada on account of his part in the | recent dynamiting outrages. The story is so humorous that a censor gave his consent to the publication of extracts. ; "This is a story telling how the cruel British satraps of Canada have brought ruin and misery upon a once fair land. , With tempting bonuses and honeyed words, they lured simple and honest men from distant lands (Germany and Austria) to hew their woods and till their soil," says the writer in opening his article. The satraps, whe he mentions later, are Sir Robert Borden, Sir- Samuel Hughes, and "Sir Thomas Shaugh- nessy. The story goes on tH say they received an order from Borden to in- tern all aliens.
