Vancouver Aug. 14th.—Silence reigns supreme in the North Sea, all British continental traffic has been resumed, indicating that the German fleet is being held in check. The North Atlantic commerce routes are sale as tar south as Trinadad; the liners are resuming their runs. The little British cruiser Bristol fought a running engagement with the German dreadnought Karlsruhe, after the latter had escaped from the British cruiser buftolk in the North Atlantic. Broadsides were exchanged between the Suffolk and the Karlsruhe in a heavy sea, but the German proved too fast. The Suffolk brought the news to Halifax. lhe Rainbow this morning escorted the Shearwater and the Algernine into Victoria, and left immediately after for the open sea under sealed orders presumably to meet the German crusiers Leipzig and Nurnberg seen heading up the coast. London, Aug. 15th.—Germans' advance checked everywhere. Belgian strength unexpected. Austria now at war with England. The Austrian steamer Baron Bautch was blown up by a hidden mine, 150 killed.- Eal Kitchener predicts that the war will last at least 18 months. The blue funuel liner Protesilaus now clocked at Vancouver has been taken over by the admiralty. She will leave here to-night for troopship duty. Coburg, Ont., Aug. 14.—A battery of heavy Artillery arrived here to-day, also four naval guns.

It is known that several of the German corps are near the Russian frontier. The organization of other corps from the immense body of reserves ! must have occured since the mobilization. These probably j have taken the places in the interior fortified cities of the ! soldiers of the active army, who are, it is assumed, now prepared to make their first dash at the enemy. It is pointed by military men that any decisive offensive movement by the German or French army, will envolve several hundred thousand men on each side, whose contact will throw into the shaddow the fight at Liege. Reports from many quarters record further captures of merchant vessels sailing under the German flag, while the presence of contact mines even in neutral waters, was shown in the wreck of the Norwegian steamer in the Zuider Zee in the Netherlands. Paris, Aug. 8th.—It was officially announced to-day that Portugal would support Great Britain in the general European war, after Germany had demanded information I of her intentions. j London, Aug. 12th.-Late dispatches this morning report 'an important engagement between the French and Germans in Luxenburg. The Etoile Beige of Brussels learns from an official source that no decision has been reached on the question of an armistice at Liege, an engagement having been begun elsewhere. An official communication at Paris states that the troops in the fortress at Liege being sufficient for the defence of the town, an active division mobilized at Liege has joined the army in the field. Paris, Aug. 12th. -According to reliable information received here, Belgian troops have cut the railroad between Arlon and Virton thus stopping all transportation in the direction of Virton. The Belgians took the rails away bodily. Several German regiments marched into battle under the Belgian cockades in order to deceive the defenders. Berlin, Aug. Ilth.-The official German account of the siege of Liege says : "On Wednesday the German advance guards penetrated along the entire Belgian frontier. A small detachment tried a coup d'main with great boldness at Liege. Some of the cavalry entered Liege with the intention of seizing the commander of the forces, who only saved himself by flight."

Three big events—One 6 round bout between Len Halliday and Young Togo the Japenese fighter; one six round bout between Harry Anderson and Bert Hughes and the main heavyweight bout between 'Fighting' McKay and Kid Clements. The three bouts promise to be very interesting. Young Togo nwans to do for Halliday and he is very apt to do just what he says. Beft Hughes knockedout Harry Anderson eighteen months ago at the coast and declares that he can do it again even though Anderson is now ten pounds heavier, and this bout alone is worth the price of admission. 'Fighting' McKay is matched against Kid Clements and as Clements is somewhat of a dark horse, we may expect some surprise from that quarter; however he will !>ave to go some to knock. McKay out for he is one of the fastest fighters in the ring and not afraid of anything. This is the most fighting for the least money that South Fort George was ever treated to. •PALACE OF SWEETS' MOVE TO THEIR NEW LOCATION 'The Palace of Sweets.' Ohmig and Ward, proprietors; have removed to their new store at the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Second Street where they will continue in their present business. The new store has been artistically arrainged with mountatin scenes that furnish a very picturesque background. One of This City's VISITORS TO TOWN (Continued on page 4) We are pleased to welcome to our town Mr. G. Ogston an old time H. B. Co. man who is here to meet his sister from Winnipeg. Mr.Ogston is a resident in Fort Fraser where he is Notary Public and secretary of the Conservative Association and one of the best kown men in the Northern Interior. Mr, Ogston reports everything favorable in the Fort Fraser district and is delighted to resume acquaintance with the old time residents of South Fort George. When Mr. Ogston first knew South Fort George there was nothing but the H. B. Co. and A. G. Hamilton place of business and he was delighted to observe the many evidences of progress and is convinced that the good work will continue. Mr. Ogston and Miss Ogston leave for Fort Fraser in a few days. One of the things that seems always to attract the eye is that of a well-kept garden. Mrs. Me- Laughlin has a combination vegetable and flower garden at her home on Fourth Street and Clark Avenue worth going miles to see. It is a common sight to see people looking at the garden from the sidewalks, and many compli- mentry remarks have been passed on the industriousness of the producer, (Mrs. McLaughlin herself.) Besides the beauty of the many flowers, pansies, sweet peas, roses, etc. and the great productiveness of the vegetable herbs Mrs. McLaughlin's deserves a great deal of credit for having first proven by a vivid example the wonderful mixed farming qualities of the soil in the Fort George district. Any disbeliever who may read this.article, has but to walk to the foot of Fourth Street to assure himself of the truth. We hope in the near future to see many residents of this city try their hand also at market garbening, and the growing of flowers that go far to give their houses a home-like appearance.

The world is in a seething ferment ! of unrest, we have been on the verge of war for years, caused by needless suspicion and t distrust, and the greed of conquest and _T s money and temporal power. Looking back over the past, statistics prove that approximately fifteen billion men have lost their lives since the beginning of authentic history. This is nine times the present population of the world. In the 20 veal's of the Napolean wars 6,000,000 men were killed, of which 3,000,000 were the flower of the French young men PRESENT WAR of that country.

And in the year 1913 this great nation supposedly on a peace footing appropriated no less than $535,000,000; what then can be the cost to the nations of Europe ? let us see.

It was "Can England defend her shores against a sudden attack of the German fleet and the consequent landing of a large expeditionary force on the unguarded portion of the British Isles?" Now that war has actually been declared, a very different state of affairs exist. Britain still depends as much as ever on her fleet to keep the routes of commerce open, but she certainly has no reason to anticipate a foreign invasion of her shores, German soldiers are far too much occupied on the continent of Europe.

"If the European nations continue to fight among themselves, as the Mexicans have done, they will weaken themselves in men and money as well as prestige, ancl will put themselves in a position similar to Rome when overpowered by the barbarians, as through the weakness of their armies and money facilities they will become feeble. The East (China and Japan) will gain correspondingly in military and money strength, which will encourage them to combine, -to over t h r o w these once great nations and maybe who knows to the contrary bring about another dark age period. History repeats itself. Their only safely is for them to follow the example of the United States and do away with the one man power (war lords, so-called) and make the basis of their governments of the people, for the people and by the people.

There is a shortage of plants all over the west for handling hogs, the raising of which at this time is proceeding at the rate of 2,000,000 per year.
