Senator Mullen, minister of defence, states that the war has proved conclusively that armaments were not the only means by which the nations were enabled to wage warfare for a lengthy period and the fact that the Empire was self-contained as regards Its food supply might prove the"determining factor in the present'struggle. Australia was resolved to place the whole of her national resqurces at the service of the Empire and tbe commonwealth rejoices at the splendid spirit and patriotic efforts that are .being made by Canada and wishes the rest of the Empire to know in this momentous struggle for liberty and honor that her manhood and the houn- lies of her soil, all she possesses to the last drop of her blood, are freely offered to help maintain the glory ond greatness of tbe Empire In the battle for the righteous cause in which she is engaged.

WARNS BRITISH THEY MUST STRAIN EVERY NERVE TO SECURE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH IN BA TTLE TO THE DEA TH (Special Cable to The Daily News ahd New York Times.) LONDON, Aug. 23.—With the German occupation of Brussels and the indication that the German plan of sweeping Belgium clear for an advance on France Is progressing, London and England are coining to a more adequate "realization of the seriousness of the whole situation. Up to the present England has iosl few men on land or sea, although her co-operation has been Invaluable. The fact tbat England haB not yet itself heard the shriek of angry . shell or received any lists of dead and wounded has created a sense of security which the newspapers are now endeavoring to counteract. Ten days or 'even a week ago the posters and newspaper headlines proclaimed each success a "great Belglun victory." This has given an Impression which is causing the press and officials to Inform the public that what has thus, far happened were only "minor episodes," when considering tbe larger aspects of the situation. This does' not mean that England or her allies are dissatisfied with the progress of events.. They say they are pleased. Although the events in Belgium are now described as a German failure rather than a triumph by the allies, the situation is quite satisfactory. The outstanding fact Is that In nearly three weeks of campaigning not a single German soldier is on French soil, while tbe French army is ih position and the ponderous KuBslan army Is well advanced. If the Germans had walked through Belgium there would have been little surprise. Their failure to do, so therefore Ib regarded as a distinct advantage for the allies, < Warns of Possible Misery. •Many newspapers comment editorially on the necessity of the public preparing' Itself for reverses, misery and serious consequences. The people are urged not to become too confident or too certain' thnt England's Isolation guarantees Immunity from the horrors of war or averts the necessity of straining" every nerve' to as- Btire ,the ultimate triumph. The present week .will bring developments of great magnitude. Tho Geiwaa concentration, iu Bel gium, where they are apparently centring their attention, Is thought by somo observers to portend a stroke elsewhere. .The Spectator says that no doubt the Germans are planning such a thing. It says: "If they are our generals of tlie allies, who know that surprise is the essence' of war, will, we believe, be able j to accommodate themselves." Much faith. Is placed In the Russians, whose hordes are slowly descending on- the east side of Germany.

Ho better evidence of the unity of purpose In the matter of aiding the Empire In the present European struggle could be desired than the 'way In which parliament disposed of iho business! which it was called together to transact. < The opposition rallied to the government's support in all that It had dono and all that it proposes to do in' support of tho Empire's cause. Parliament spoke [as one man and in doing so represented tho feeling or the people of Canada. But it should not be taken for grant- e 1 that what has been doue and what lies been authorized fulfills Canada's duty to the Empire. The present struggle may he. a long and a bitter one* and It may;bo that not another but several other, contingents may yet be required to he -sent forward anil other forms of assistance rendered. If so they will be forthcoming as freely ond as willingly as what has already been done in this direction and what is now definitely proposed. AN INTERRUPTER WITHOUT AN EXCUSE. Some misguided individual last evening undertook to interrupt'Rev. lil. S, Logie in the course of his sermon, the subject of which was "War Is Deplorable, but Britain Has a Just and Holy Cause." Thnt be was not ejected bodily as he would have been from many a meeting speaks much for the forbearance of the men of the congregation due perhaps to the fact that they realized that they were ln a place of worship and did not desire to create any disturbance therein. In the, first, place, the man who interrupted Mr. .Logie nad no excuse for his action. If he did not want to hoar Mr, Logie's views on the subject upon which he was. billed to speak all he had to do was to stay away. But having attended, be should bave been willing to concede Mr. Logie that freedom of speech upon which he himself .would, have insisted had he heen addressing a publio meeting and to which a clergyman speaking from his own pulpit is entitled by every principle of law and reason. The man who undertook to interrupt Mr. Logie last night is living under the British flag and Is enjoying to the full that British freedom which tbe blood of countless thousands has purchased, There is no compulsion on him to continue to enjoy tbat freedom. If he prefers the liberty of Germany or of Mexico or of Turkey or of any other country no one in this country will object to his departure 'to enjoy that liberty. In the mean* time it might be weli for him to bear in mind the fact that he is in a British country, which is doing lis part to assist the Empire in living up to Us plighted word in the course of which It has been drawn Into a war the awfulness and the consequences of which cannot but be apparent to any observer. * No one is asking the man in question to volunteer for service or to shed his blood in upholding the Empire's honor. But what can very properly be expected of, him Is that whatever other means he may take to make known his views he shall not interrupt others who may differ from him, and particularly that he shall not again interrupt a religious service to du so. •> WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING * $ ■■* $ And Then Some.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 23.—The great Russian army Invading east Prussia ln a 32-mllo battle line has hurled back the enemy opposing it nnd has captured Insterburg, Goldapp and Arts. Insterburg, on tho north or right flank, is.the great strategic railroad centre of east Prussia, no fewer than eight railroads converging to It. Arys, on the extreme left flank, 50 miles from Insterburg, is another junction of strategic lines, as also is Goldapp, half way between. The line uniting Lyck and Insterburg is in Russia's hands. The capture of this network of railroads places the entire German position up on the lino of the Gantvlg horn ln jeopardy. The operations In the region about Lyck and Arys probably were Independent movements designed to clear the Germans out of the country of Lackelccs and Morass, with narrow passages -between which' occupies an extent of about 40 miles tooth ways from north to south and east to west, effectually securing the left flank of the Russian main army. Tho Germans put forth their utmost strength to oppose the Russian advance throughout the theatre of operations and every step was won by fighting. The retreat of thc German twentieth army corps from the neighborhood of Lyck is what the civilians call a rout, but thc Russian commander-ln-chlcf is content to report It as retirement of a hurried nature. - Russians Win Several Engagements - On tho right flank tho fighting was particularly severe, dbstlnate and prolonged. Three German corps made & determined effort to outflank tho Rus slans and the fighting was desperate for severnl days. Finally on Saturday the Russians broke into the German defence and took Instortourg. This makes good the Russian right. In the centre the Russians assumed the offensive, captured a number of guns and drove the enemy .beyond the of the commander-in-chief reriuired for the development of further* tactics.

"We are meeting as a band of -Canadians of different races and languages, but never before have we met feeling that we are one In the Bame sense as at this hour of our history. That generosity that sometimes lies concealed In partisan fights and race disputes has burst those Ignoble bonds and patriotism has come to the front disfigured by no petty purpose or feeling. Forget All Petty Differences. "The last four days of the session have vindicated Canadian parliamentary life for alt time to come. They have shown that It is possible for us to forget all mean and petty differences in Buch a crisis, "The one solemn thing for us to remember Is that there Ib more to war than the first marching out of tbe raw troops, than the first blare of trumpets and the first flaunting or the colors. What more has to be borne has been shown by the Belgians when their homes have gone up In flames and when their bodies have been shattered by the grim weapons ot the war. My word is to put on the full armor of courage which will not be daunted by one reverse or by a series ot reverses. Let ub remember with our best wishes and follow wltb our deepest prayer those of our comrades who are taking the sword ln the defence of their country and the Empire. Tbe time of trial ls upon thla country and the Empire. It will be for our God and the right will fin* ally triumph." The proceedings were marked by tbe same simplicity which characterised the opening ceremonies. Hla royal highness, his aides and the members of the headquarters staff appeared ln service uniforms.

"I have used "Fruit-a-tives" for Indigestion and Constipation with most excellent results, and they continue to be my only medicine. When I first started about six years ago to use them, I took four at a dose but gradually reduced the dose to one tablet at night. Before taking "Fniit-a-tives", I took salts and other pills but the treatment was too harsh. I thought I might aa well suffer from the illness as from these treatments. Finally, I saw " Fruit-a-tives *' advertised with a letter in which some one recommended them very highly, so I tried them, and I have no hesitation in recommending them." ANNIE B.

Already about 70 per cent of tho total German tonnage is in British hands, another 20 per cent is still lying in neutral harbors and the remainder is either in German harbors unable to move or endeavoring to find security, British shipping, with the exception of less then 1 per cent, which was iii German harbors at tbe outbreak of far, is actively pursuing its business on all the great commercial routes. "The German squadron in China has been rendered ineffective by the constant pursuit by the British squadron in the Par East. Trade in China is, therefore', unaffected. "The Austrian squadron In the Adriatic has retired before the combined Anglo-French fleet, which is so superior that it is about to send strong detachments to any part or the Mediterranean or adjoining seas in which naval forces may be required." Germany Endangers Neutral Ships. Tho British official news bureau makes the following'announcement: "T**° admiralty draws attention to its [previous warning to neutrals of the dangor of traversing the' North sea. The Germans continue their practice of scattering mines indiscriminately upon the ordinary trade routes. "These mines do not conform to the conditions of The Hague convention. They do not becomo liurmlcss after a certain number of hours; they ore nor. laid with a definite military scheme, sucli as the closing of a military port or as a distinct operation against a fighting fleet, but appear to be scattered on the chance of catching individual British war or merchant vessels. "Iii consequence or this policy neutral ships, whatever their destination, are exposed to the gravest danger. "Two Danish vessels, the. steamer Maryland and the steamer Broberg, have within the lust 24 hours been destroyed by these deadly engines In tlie North sea white traveling the "ordinary trade routes and a considerable, distance from the British coast. "In addition to this It is reported that two Dutch steamers clearing from Swedish ports were yesterjlay blown up by German mines In the Gulf of Finland. "In the circumstances the admiralty desires to impress not only on British but on neutral shipping the vital importance of touching at British ports before sailing the North sea, to ascertain according to the latest Information the routes and channels which the admiralty is keeping swept and along which these dangers to neutral vessels and mercnantmen are being removed aB far as possible. "The admiralty, while reserving to Itself, the liberty of action against this form of warfare, announces that it has not so far laid any mlnes^ during tlie present war and' is endeavoring to heep the sea routes open for peaceful commerce." The Maryland struck a mine Friday night. The crew of the Broberg, seeing the accident, proceeded to the rescue In launches, but failed to find the crew. On resuming the search Saturday morning the Broberg also struck a mineand foundered, but her crew was rescued -and brought to ..Lowestoft, England.

HONOR DEMANDED BRITAIN FIGHT Rev. E. S. Logie Speaks on "War*— Blames Germany—-Says Canada Is Ready To a very large congregation Inst evening, Rev. E. S. Logie spoke on the subject, "War Is Deplorable,, but Britain Hag a .lust and Holy Cause." He took his text from Psalm 40, verse 0t- "He, maketb wars to cease unto the end of tho earth, He breakest the* bow andi cuttetb tbe spear In sunder, He* burnoth the chariot in the^re." The speaker opened iby aaying' that everyone contended that war should cease, no one advocated war for itself. All believed that did right conditions prevail peace would continue. , The universal testimony . of civilized hurrlnnity was that war shetild be no "more and yet nearly the whole civil Ized' world was today ".-dunged into1 its carnage and curse. Why? Behind thb immediate cause of trouble between Austria and Servia, which was the spark that lighted the conflagration which swept the continent of Europe with great rapidity were certain pro* penalties whose unbridled rein hod beon allowed full sway in the German empire. He traced the immediate causes of the war and emphasized the efforts made by the British' "ministry to avoid taking part and said that England hnd sought to keep peace. He said nil re- olced that she was willing to keep peace at any price anOrt of the repudiation of hor agreement. She sought to discourage and binder this*-war and tried to avoid being a party to it, but Britain's word, Britain's honor, Britain's traditions were all at stake and however groat thc carnage, tbe integrity, honor and tradition of Britain demanded thc sacrifice. This was not a war of conquest^ nor wns it to avengo' personal wrong, but a war to keep In* violato honor, to keep untarnished a noble name, Canadians wero proud of their splendid citizenship and must now pay' the prlco. They wore ready with tholr last dollar, their last "busiiel of wheat/ their last man.
