War Situation Reviewed
The first movements and re-sults-ef-the European war are just filtering through to us. Some of the following incidents may be new to our readers.
France has authorized an increase note issue from $1,340,000, 000 to $2,400,000,000; Japan issued assurances of support to England in fulfillment of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
The enormous cost of carrying on the war, the greatest in the. world, it is thought will not allow it to last for very long.
The Servian army despite its weakened condition, (resulting from the previous Balkan war,) seems to have given a good account of itself with the Austrians.
Extracts From Editorials <rf Newspapers the Wide World Over
It is the big appalling fact that the Great Nations of Europe, nations that by a supreme effort can put 20,060,000 in the field, are at war. ¦ The <3 i s s at i s fi e d Balkan Nations may seize the opportunity to -seek' further rectification of their boundaries,thus extending the possibilities of famine, slaughter and desolation from the North Sea to the Bos-phorus
Incomparably vast, incomparably destructive, incomparably cruel and wicked is the gijrantic conflict possible in the war now waging.    Never before has War

One of the most imposing patriotic procession  in  Paris   was formed by more than 2000 Jews carrying banners on which were the words: "Jews come to the aid of France," English, French, Russian and Uelgean flags were I carried,   the   marchers   singing the.

Germany has run amuck, i There is no other explanation of; the/Kaiser's policy in forcing a ' general Euroi>eari conflict. /Fortunate it is that England; As compelled to cast her sword! into the balance without further j loss of time.
The  issue  is  now  joined! Either German Autocracy must ] be crushed or European Dem-ocracy obliterated.    There is no middle  course.     If . the   forces! that the Kaiser has loosed are victorious, the map of Edropean Republicanism' may as well be rolled   up.    All  of  Continental Europe that is. not Russianized, will   be  Prussianized.     France will then be a third rate power; Belgium,  Holland and Demark willv fall  successively   into the maw of G,e r m a r Imperialism.

The censorship of all the news is very severe ,and effective. It seems almost increditable that so little authentic news is avail-able. AH wireless stations not used by the various governments are dismantled.-

,It is still posssible to sympathize'with the German people in the great, tragedy that has ove,r taken them, with their backs to the u-all fighting a more powerful coalition than ever Napoleon faced. But there can be only-one answer to the Kaiser's challenge to Europe, German autocracy has made itself the enemy of mankind. Its destruction will be the emancipation of the German people themselves as well as the salvation of European republicanism.                            i
