' A despatch from Berlin, says: The Hamburg Correspondent pub- lishes an interview with Herr Ballin President of the North German Lloyd Line, in which he states that England may be eliminated from the powers which may eventually take place either withAustria or Servia. Britain has no occasion whatever to intervene in the conflict, no mat- ter what turn it takes. “The high- est authorities in London,” he says, “are positively determined to take participation in the war.” Herr Ballin also says that France’s disinclination to go to war is even a stronger asset in favor of peace than Britain’s amic- able disposition. “Painful uncer- tainty” will continue for some time, he concludes, but can be borne by Germans with assurance and con- fidence. - >Y<' RIOT ACT READ TO GERMANS.

A despatch from Pittsburg, Pen., says: _Heads of, manufacturing and mining companies fear a shortage of labor if the Austro-Servian war be prolonged. While there are pro- bably less than 500 Servians in the Pittsburg district. it is estimated that there are fully 500,000 Austro- Hungarians in western Pennsylvan- ia and northern West Virginia, one fifth of Whom are liable for-military lduty. The withdrawal of any con- ,siderable proportion of this num- ber from .mills and mines would» be seriously felt in times of industrial activity While the curtailment of im- migration would addto the shortâ€" age, say the employers.

Officials of Finance Department at Ottawa Are Optimistic of the Future o-â€"-â€"â€" A despatch from Ottawa, says: Officials 'of the Department of Fi- nance are inclined to the View that the Austro-Servian war will. have no serious effect on economic con- ditions in Canada. They admit that a European war, more particularly if all the powers are drawn into the fray, will make it practically impossible for the present to go to London money market. In this con- nection it is claimed, however, that most of ‘the loans sought for the ' present ‘year have either'been float- ed or are in the hands of the under- writers. Wheat prices are certain to be affected by the war more particu- larly if Russia ceases to be a source of supply for the British market.
