(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Aug. 3.—Pour great
powers of Europe—'Austria-Hungary,
Russia, Prance and Germany—are'
now engaged in actual warfare, but
the extraordinary position obtains that
two of them, Germany and France,
have not only not declared war against
each other, as far as Is known here,
but have not even severed diplomatic
relations and this despite the fact that
Germany's ultimatum to France haa
either "been ignored' or rejected.
\ The explanation of this would appear to tod that Germany and France
are each sucking to throw upon the
other the onus of -beginning the war.
In fact, -while the European nations
are flying at each other's throats they
are vleing with each other In protesting their desire to maintain peace and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole continent Into
bloodshed.
j France Haa Strongest Justification
In this curious situation France, according to (British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the latest to mobilize and seems
to have taken the greatest precautions
to avoid frontier complications.
On the other hand, Germany, in addition to invading French territory,
without making a formal declaration
of war, has violated the neutrality of
-Luxemburg and declines to give any
Undertaking to respect Belgian neutrality. The efforts of the British ambassador at Berlin to secure such an
undertaking have been -wasted. It Is
difficult to see how Great Britain can
avoid going Into the conflict to protect Belgian and Dutch neutrality and
on this point Promier Asqulth's official announcement ln parliament Is
awaited with Intense anxiety, the
British public "being no longer under
any illusions ns to the gravity of the
crisis which transcends anything in
their experience.
' The lonst observant man' in London
today could not full to be Impressed
with tho fact that something tremendous wus happening. Short of actual
formal mobilization, the British government ls taking all necessary steps
to meet a situation unprecedented In
the nation's history.
News of the progress ot hostilities
Ib vague and conflicting, owing to the
severe censorship everywhere Im*
posed. It Ib alleged that the Germans
poured 100,000 men Into Luxemburg,
who will concentrate on the French-
frontier. Actual German Invasions of
France occurred nt Nancy and
Ixmgwy, while a battle Ib reported to
have taken place at Nancy,
•Prom   the   Russo-Gorman   frontier
come reports that Russians Invaded
Germany near Schwinden.
Austria   Quits Servia—Faces Russia.
Servia, the original cause of the upheaval, seems to bo lost sight of. The
Austrlans, according to reports from
Nish, have virtually ceased operations
against Servia in order to meet the
greater danger from Russia.    *
Montenegro has mobilized to assist
Servia and Is reported to be bombarding Catari, in Dalmatia.
Rumors are current of naval movements, but none of them Is reliable.
Tourists of all nations are stranded

the seizure of all the railways for mill

Scores Germany's Methods
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
PARIS, Aug. 3.—The aeep Indignation caused In France 'by Germany's
methods ln beginning the war ls voiced by Lo Temps, which says:
''"Up to the last minute the French
and Russian governments had given
Germany credit for acting in good
faith; there Is no longer doubt that
It Is In ambush.- Russians, French*
men and Englishmen must -stand united against the powers of brigandage,
Which have Just 'been unmasked,
'"'The British government yesterday
informed tho German ambassador that
England could not remain neutral.
"We did not desire this* war, but
Alhce It was forced upon us, with good
heart we wage it. For 40 years Germany has prowled around us with the
constant Idea of striking a blow -with
minimum risk, but by prolonging the
menace she has taught us our lesson.
Franes In United Array   '
"Germany attacks us now at an hour
when all -our material and moral forces
stand In united array against her. The
war thrust upon Us Is a war of piracy.

fence of the country In the face of the
aggressive attitude of Germany, which
Ib now clearly manifested. All the
museums and galleries In Paris have
been closed, the various stuffs having
gone to the war.
All possible mensures have been
taken to insure that Paris will not
lack food. Special trains have -been,
reserved for the transportation of,
foodstuffs, particularly milk. In the
event of the home supply becoming
Inadequate, a decree suspending the
prohibition on the importation of foreign fresh meat will appear in the official gazette today, thus insuring large

Severe regulations are being rigorously applied against persons attempting to profit in the present state of

(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—-Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury department
came to New York tonight In an effort to assist the great financial
Interests to avert a serious crlsi**". With
Mr. McAdoo were J. g. Williams,
comptroller of the currency; C. S.
Hamlin and W. V. C. Harding, members of the federal reserve board. Until far into the night they discussed
reliuf measures with a group of leading bankers at what wup regarded as
tbe most momentous conference held
in this country In*recent years.
Banks of New York and other largo
cities completed arrangements to take
out many millions ot dollars of emergency currency.
After the conference Secretary McAdoo said:
'"Arrangements are already perfected
for the Issuance by New York banks
of ? 100,000,000 additional currency, if
required- to enable them to respond
to culls of their correspondent banks
throughout the country for money to
meet .the demands of the crop movement and other, purposes. It Is aimed
to permit the Jssuunce of similar.currency to banks in other sections of
the country upon their application to
the treasury department and their
compliance with tho provisions of the
act."
Say No Fear of Disaster.
Bankers of New York were enthusiastic in their statements ">hat thero
need be -no fear of disastrous developments. The position of the -banks
of tho country as a whole, it was said,
was fundamentally strong, although
the extraordinary occurrences of tlm
last few days have temporarily
brought about a chaotic condition.
There are fears for leBser institutions,
especially those whose patrons are
largely foreigners, Muny of these are
state institutions. At the state banking department it was said tonight that
most of i'hem are In fairly good condition.

GERMAN AIRSHIPS
Experts Think   Air   Crsft Generally
Useiern in European War Except
for Reconnslsanct Purposes.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Aug. 2.—C. G. Grey, editor of the Aeroplane, a leading authority on aviation, writes on the use of
aeroplanes in the event of an Euro*
pean war.
"The utility of air craft in tin European war would h0 almost entirely in
^connection with reconnalsance*," be
says,
"Under certain, circumstances both
aeroplanes and airships might be used
for offensive, purposes, but no nation
owns enough aircraft to mako them
ah important consideration as weapons.
"It is poHslbte that a couple of German airships might make a dash for
Paris or London with the idea of creating a tumult of the populace, but
they would run big risks of being destroyed by faster aeroplanes."
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Aug. 2.—The Dominion
government did not wait for a formal
declaration of .war on tho part of
Great Britain to send to -the motherland a message couched in clear and
comprehensive terms, ns to the mean-,
ing of which there could be absolutely;
no doubt, offering assistance in the
present time of need. The announcement that such a message bad been
despatched on Saturday and a reply
received today from Right Hon. Lewis
Harcourt, colonial secretary, occasioned no surprise when made at 4 o'clock
this afternoon.
Canada assured the mother country
that the people of this Dominion "will
be united in a common resolve to put
forward every* effort and to make
every sacrifice necessary to insure the
integrity and maintain the honor of
our Empire."
Appreciation of the Dominion's determination to stand by the motherland at any cost was expressed in
Colonial Secretary Harcourt's message, who said the British government
"gratefully welcomed the assurance
that in tho present crisis it may rely
on the whole-hearted co-operation of
Canada."
Empire Offers United Front
Although Premier Borden declined
to make any statement on Saturday
night. It was generally 'believed that
Canada's offer had gone not many
hours after the arrival In the caprtal
of Sir Robert on Saturday. Tho offer
places Canada in line with the other
overseas dominions, the Empire now
presenting a united front to Its foes.
It is thought here that there will toe
absolutely no dissent from tiie promise
mnde in Canada's message that the
people of this dominion ''will be united
in a common resolve to put forward
every effort and to make every sacrl
fice necessary to Insure the Integrity
and maintain tlie honor of our Empire,"
Appreciation of the Dominion's determination to stand hy the mother-
land at any cost was accepted by Colonial Secretary Harcourt's message,
which said that the British government gratefully welcomed tho assurance that In the present crisis it mny
rely on the whole-hearted co-operation
of tho people of Canada.
Another Interesting development of
this eventful Sunday at the capital wan
the issuance of an extra of the Canada
Gazette containing a proclamation call
Ing out the naval reserve now In this
country. The proclamation was Issued
toy tho command' of Sir Robert Borden,
ns secretary of state for external affairs. It is couched in the'followl!***
■terms:
Notice to Naval Reserve
"Public notice is hereby given that
tho governor-general has -received a
tolegraphlc despatch from the secre-
tary of state for the colonies announcing that his -majesty tho King has ib>
royal .proclamation called out the royal
naval reserves. Attention is directed
to the fact that by this proclamation
man serving abroad, whether on shore
or ln merchant vessels,- are required to
report themselves to thc first British
naval, consular or colonial officer they
meet, or failing that to the nearest
registrar on arrival In the United
Kingdom. Of which all persons concerned are required to take notice and
to govern themselves accordingly."
Tho cabinet council, -which held two
meetings on Saturday, met again this
morning and again in tlie evening. The
morning sitting did not adjourn until
nenrly 2 o'clock. Tho ministers had
under consideration many Important
matters relative to the situation, many
of these being of necessity private in
nature.
Every Department Ready
Assurance was given toy Sir Robert
Borden subsequent to tho morning
meeting that every department of the
government would toe prepared to do
its share in the event of tho services
of Canada toeing required. Tho accuracy of thc premier's statement wus
apparent at the militia and naval departments. At the former practically
all the officers of the permanent
staff were on duty throughout the day
and It was said that thc department
would continue to be open both day
and night,   Everything is in readiness

LONDON, Aug. 3.—The rate of the

The rate was raised as a further
precautionary measure against tlie

LONDON, Aug. 3.—London retained
its cnlm to the last moment last night.
A great crowd assembled around the
government offices at Whitehall,
awaiting the decision of the cabinet
as to whether Great Britain would
take part in the war, but when It was
found that no statement was to be
made, the crowd melted away, only a
few groups remaining to discuss
whether the cabinet, as some put it,
had decided to "funk or fight."
No statement of the decision taken
by the cabinet will be made tonight.
Premier Asquith will state Great Britain's poaltlon tomorrow morning.
Tho general Impression is that the
war party In the cabinet is in the ascendency, but not a word was allowed
to lenk out of the cabinet chamber
concerning today's proceedings.
Cabinet Said to Differ.
It was said that Viscount Morley,
lord president of the council, and Viscount Haldane, lord high chancellor,
led the peace party and that Winston
Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, threatened to resign if the
government did not stand by its unwritten agreement to support France
against German attacks.
It is known that the Lancashire Liberals arc putting strong pressure on
tlio government to keep out of the
conflict at all costs and it is said that
the premier is somewhat influenced
by this.
But the average Englishman Is saying tonight that the government has
no alternative after the neutrality of
Luxemburg has been disregarded by
Germany and after Germany's refusal
to say what ber attitude toward Bel-
glum is.
Plenty of Wheat Available.
The Socialists held n big meeting ln
Trafalgar square last night to protest against war. James Kelr Hardie,
Labor and Socialist M.P., who was
the chief speaker, declared that Italy,
although bound by the treaty, remained neutral, and there was no reuson
why Great Britain should not do likewise. He announced the intention of
calling a national strike against the
war.
The railway stations nre crowded
with German, French and other reservists, returning to their respective
countries.
Tlie board of agriculture has issued
a statement that there is sufficient
wheat in tlio country to supply the
wholo population for four months, al-
lowing for normal consumption, irrespective of imports.
Day 0f Fearful Suspense.
This Sunday has beon a day of the
greatest suspense in England's history. For hotii'H the cabinet was in
council at Whitehall and the whole
country believed It to be wrestling
with the question or whether England
should tnko up arms In support of its
partners of the triple entente. No
statement wns made officially concerning the cabinet's deliberations excepl
that tho premier would make an announcement in the house Monday and
that th-, cabinet would hold another
meeting in tlie morning.
Tho government took three measures for defence yesterday, none of
them inconsistent with the policy of
remaining out of the conflict, if that
should he Its policy. The naval reserves and naval marines were called
out by proclamation; the territorials,
who had just assembled at the train
ing camps for annual practice, were
ordered back to their headquarters;
the home secretary prohibited aerial
flights over the entire kingdom and
territorial waters, except by military
craft.
All these, measures aro purely defensive.
Great Britain would feel obliged to
take them with a great war raging
close to its shores even if there was
no -question of participation. Censors
took charge of all the cable offices
In the kingdom last night.
Huge Loan Expected.
All code messages Were prohibited,
even to Australia. Telephone communication with the continent was entirely stopped. The Brussels telephone, which was tho last line working, is silent.
The King issued a proclamation declaring a moratorium for a mouth and
the suspension of the Bank act today
appears assured. Parliament will
probably pass a bill for a loan for
defensive purposes to an amount ol
1250,000,000.
A rise ln the price of foodstuffs Is
expected today.
The English papers are confronted
with the possibility of a paper famine.
Most of them depend on the Scandinavian countries for stocks and have
only a few weeks' store in the country and shipping in tho North sea Is
paralyzed,
Peace Movement Not Popular.
The peace movement continues, but
finds little popularity, ThQ ArchblBh*
op of Canterbury and the Bishop of
London both spoke for peace yesterday. A number of Cambridge professors have issued a manifesto deploring the possibility of war with
Germany, while another manifesto
emanated from Influential quarters
quoting Premier Asqulth's recent
statement that Great Britain bad no
understanding with France and Russia
which would compel her to join with
them in war.
ThQ Socialists and a section o* tha
labor unions are strong for piace.
Peace meetings were held today In
Trafalgar square and Hyde park. Keir
Hardie exhorted the workers to inaugurate a general strike against -war.
Calls It Debt of Honor.
Lord Charles Beresford has issued
a letter calling upon the country to
pay a debt of honor to,France. He
declares that Great Britain would be
forever disgraced In the eyes of
Europe if It failed to do so.
The railway stations are filled with
naval reservists in bright new uniforms, entraining for the coast stations. Officials raided the streets today and commandeered the latest and
most powerful motor vehicles, tnr -
Ing out the passengers and ordering
the drivers to proceed to naval and
military headquarters where tbe cars
were to be used for military and Red
Cross purposes. A great number of
reservists are employed on the motor
buses, and traffic as a consequence
hus been greatly curtailed.
The business world looks forward
to this week's developments with the
greatest anxiety. Monday is a bank-
holiday, fortunately, and thUB the
banks will have time to make arrangements ngalnst a possible siege on
Tuesday.
Cheer King and France.
There was a scene of great enthusiasm outside Buckingham palace yesterday. A crowd of 5.000 or 6,000 per
sons gathered before the palace and
snng the national anthem and called
for the King, who, with Queen Mary,
appeared on a balcony and bowed In
response to cheers given for him and
for France.
A number of processions were form*

MOST people, when not feeling well, think—"I
will wait and see; perhaps I shall (eel better tomorrow.    At such a time the prompt use of
-, Eno's "Fruit Silt" rids the system of disease germs and
prevents the spread of the malady.
ENO'S "FRUIT SALT"
keeps the liver working, preventing the accumulation of
poison in the blood, which, when allowed to continue
unchecked, might develop into Fever. Without such a
simple precaution as Eno's "Fruit Salt," the jeopardy of
life is immensely increased. Better be safe than sorry.
Eno's is much more efficacious than the effervescing waters
of potassium or soda, and is supplied to you at less than
one-tenth the cost.
Order a bottle TO-DAY from your local dealer.

FOREST FIRES
ATTACK ELKO
Spseial Train of Men Is Rushed from

Blasts
'Special to The Daily Nowa)
IORANBROOK, B. C, Aug. 2.—
Forest fires threaten to wipe out the
town of Elko, B. C, aibout 50 miles
east of here. A special train left Pernio and, Hosmer this evening with a
contingent of men to fight fire. Two
large fires are reported at Bull river

SUMMER   BEST  TIME
FOR CONSUMPTIVES
There has long been n popular belief that a consumptive persons feels
better and Is really In better health
in the summer months than at other
times of the yeur. Until recently, however, physicians have pooh-poohed
this idea, saying thai it had no basis
ofher than Hie fact that coughs and
colds, which affect the tubercular patient so adversely, are less frequent
ln summer.
In this ns In many other things "
now turns out that popular belief was
right and Dr. Science wrong. Recent
investigations by Dr. Strangdanrd, an
imminent Danish physician, show 'hut
entirely apart from the fewer coughs
and colds In warm weather the summer months are undoubtedly the mi'H"
favorable to the consumptive.
In the Danish suult-irluma for the
treutment of tuuerculotjia it is thu
practice for patients to be weighed
every Saturday morning. The average
weekly gain,_lr* weight for 800 patients during a period of id years is
from six to nine ounces.
But, as Dr. Strangaard points nut.
this guln varies greatly, according t-
the season of the year. Prom December to May It is fairly uniform but
low—from six und one-half t0 seven
and one-half ounces. It rises rapidly
and stemlily from May until September and during lhe latter month ll
reaches its maximum for the year ot
ll'/i ounces. It falls from October to
December, which is the month showing   tho  smallest   Increase   in   weight.
The average gain of weight In
September i;i almost double that In
December and there can be little doubt
that this gain is, as a rule, accompanied by a marked improvement In
the  patient's   health. ■
In one of the Danish sanitariums
the number of tubercular patients confined to their beds Is about twice as
great in the winter as in the summer
months. The proportion of patients
without expectoration and bncilli is
greatest in August and September and
lea-sit from January   to April,
All tbe observation-, of this Danish
physician tend to show that when
the weather is warm and sunny with
a high degree of hunUdlty in tlie air
the consumptive "."hows the greatest
gain in weight and the greatest improvement   in   other   ways.

HOMER  WAS AMONG   FIRST
WAR   CORRESPONDENTS
The first wnr correspondent, according to a theory propounded by Sutherland Edwards, ■ appears to have been
Homer, who was sent by the editor
of un Argos paper called tile "Chronos*
to describe the siege of Troy. Hostilities lasted only about seven weeks,
and when they came to an end the
Greek chiefs were in n0 hurry to re
turn to their wives. Homer was a
good sort and as he drew a large salary and a handsome allowance for
expenses from the "Chronos," he readily accepted the scheme propounded by
the wise Ulysses—to keep the war going in the columns of hip paper so
long as he could manage to write
•about It. His letters were too good
not to publish, and meantime the
Greek chiefs had an enjoyable time
at Troy and elsewhere. Reissued in
book form as "Tlie Iliad." these early
examples of war correspondence have
enjoyed a Wide** circulation than was
possible even in the columns of the
"Chronos."
NO  PURE WATER
WITHOUT CLEAN  PIPE8
It is not sufficient to purify the
water we drink at its source, says an
exchange. Unless the pipes through
which It Is carried are thoroughly
cleansed, there will still remain ser!
ous danger of typhoid and other water
borne diseases.
Mains through which polluted water
has flowed become coated with de
posits which must be wholly removed bofore they can be regarded as
safe carriers for pure water. Unless
the pipes are thoroughly cleansed by
some mechanical method, It will be
years before the danger of contamination resulting from tho previously foul
water supply will be entirely eliminated.
This fnct doubtless explains some
of tho outbreaks of typhoid which
occur even after filtration plants are
installed. These outbreaks In most
cases are probably not due to imperfect operation of the filters, but to the
stirring up of old deposits In thc
mains.
A slight Increase In the rate of flow
through water mains will Btnrt these
old deposits and destroy the whole-
someness of the most carefully filtered water.

MUSTACHE IN  HISTORY.
The sad case of the French chasseur who Ib confined- to barracks until
his mustache has well sprouted again
recalls, by contrast, the day when thc
directors of the Bank of England ordered their clerk**, not to wear mustaches during their business hours—
an order, by the way, which the public soon laughed out of court. The
mustache, however, had a strenuous
struggle for existence. In the forties
it was cut in the shop, the club and
the church. In I860, for Instance, Albert Smith was given the hint that his
beard barred him from a certainty of
admission to th0 Garrtck'club.
The Crimea war brought a revolution. "Why shave?" asked "Household Words," and shortly after 1865
tho razor waa given the cut direct.
At this period the only public man
of note to wear a mustache wos
George Munts, M. P. for Birmingham,
and his pluck offended hlg constituents. In 1869, however, the police
stepped in. Hull took the lead. The
watch committee there passed a resolution permitting the local force to
"wear A beard and a mustache If they
think fit." The mustache had won
the day.

GERMANY CLAIM8 THERE
WAS  MISUNDERSTANDING
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Aug. 2.—The Westminster
Gazette yesterday published the text
of an interesting telegram from the
German imperial chancellor to the
German ambassador at Vienna, sent
after -the receipt of a message from
St. Petersburg saying AustrIa;*Hun-
gary had declined Russia's request to
enter Into direct negotiations.
The message, dated July 30, says:
"The report of Count von Pourtales,
the Germun ambassador at St. Petersburg, does not harmonize with -the account your excellency has given of the
attitude of the Austro-Hungarian government. Apparently there is a misunderstanding which I beg you to
clear up.
"We cannot expect Austria-Hungary
■to negotiate with Servia, with -whom
Bhe Is In a state of war. The refusal,
however, to exchange views with St.
Petersburg would be a great mistake.
"We are, Indeed, ready to fulfil our
duty ob an ally. We must, however,
refuse to be drawn into a world conflict owing to Austria-Hungary not respecting our advice. Your excellency
will express this to Count von Berch-
thold, Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, with all emphasis and great seriousness.—Von Bethmann-Hollweig."
In reply -to this Count von Berch-
thold told -the German ambassador that
there was, In fnct, a misunderstanding
and that the Austria-Hungarian ambassador at St. Petersburg had been
Instructed ulready to begin negotiations with Sergius Sassanoff. Russian
foreign minister.
A statement given out by the German foreign office to the correspondent concludes:
"These negotiations, as well as the
Intermediary aotlon of the German
government, wos ended by the mobilization of all nrms in Russia on sea
nnd land."
IMMIGRATION DECREASES

OTTAWA, Aug. 2.-The total Immigration to Canada during April, May
and June, 1914, was 90,157, made up
of 27,404 British, 28,282 Americans
and 34,407 from all other countries.
During the corresponding months of
1913 the total number was 210,206,

HOW JUNK  IS TURNED
* ' INTO COPPER
Scientists and business men are
both beginning to understand that In
reality there Is no such thing as waste
matter. The existence of what we
call waste or refuse Is due merely
to our failure to find a proper method
of turning it into dollars and cents.
An Interesting example of this fact
Is the recent discovery In Butte that
the water pumped from the copper
mines can be turned to an exceedingly profitable use. The water, so
heavily charged with mineral as to
be un drinkable, was formerly allowed to run down a gulch, which, according to the custom of mining
camps was the dumping place for old
stoves, tin cans and all sorts of junk,
One day the owner of a part of this
gulch picked up a can that had been
In the water for some time and was
surprised to find that it had turned
into copper, and of exceptional pur
ity at that. He secured a lot of the
red metal this way, and later operated a crude plant, which brought him
rich returns. The mining company has
now built a large plant to secure the
profits, and other mine owners are
following this example.
The copper charged water from the
Czar mine at BIshee, Ariz., Is disin-
charged Into a flume with a gentle Incline, which Ib filled with all kinds of
metal junk. The tin cans of the little city aro all used this way, and an
occasional carload is shipped In from
camps near by.
The process Is known as replacement, and consists of minute parti*
cles of Iron being removed by the
copper charged water, while a particle of copper replaces It. The general shape of the object Is retained.
World  Strangeness
Strange the world about me lies.
Never y*t familiar grown—
Still disturbs me with surprlpe
Haunts me like n face half known
In this house with starry dome,
Floored   with   gem-like   plains   nn *
seas,
Shall I never be at home,
Never wholly feel at ense?
On from room to room I **itrny,
Yet my Host can ne'er espy.
And I know not to this day
Whether guest or captive I.
So, between the starry dome
And the floor of.nlaH-s and sens,
I have never felt at* home,
Never wholly been at ease.

Minister of Lands   Issue-.* Pamphlet
Describing Climatic, Soil and
Other Features,
- VICTORIA, B. C,,.Aug. 2.—pon.
-William Tt. Ross, minister of lands,
has issued a pamphlet on the Cariboo
land recording, division, which describes In detail the topographic, climatic and other features of the district. This pamphlet, -which will be
of great value to those seeking information regarding th* territory within
tho boundaries of the' Cariboo land
-recording division, is the latest to he
published of the series of similar publications Issued by the department of
lands on various other sections of the
province. The pamphlets previously
published were descriptive of the
-Fort George, Fort Fraser, Skeena and
Pep.ce river land recording: divisions.
There has bech a large demand for
these pamphlets, which are replete
with valuable information.
Cariboo, the district with which the
booklet deals, has been reached, since
the days when gold was the lddestone
that brought the argonauts, who were
pioneers of the division, from many
lands by way of Panama, California
hnd across tli0 then untraveled west-
torn provinces over the Cariboo wag-
bn road. The Pacific Great Eastern
railroad Is now being constructed to
cross tho division, north and south
through the valley of the Fraser river.
This railroad, with many lateral and
cross lateral roads, will give access
to large areas of land available for
settlement.
■ Much of the land in this division
(is' open, rolling grass land and uplands covered with buhcb-graBS—
fctockmen find vast areas or pasturage
therc^—and.there nro wide stretches
of parli-like country with littlo clumps
of popular and other light timber.
iMuch of tho district, In addition to
the great extent of excellent range it
-offers, on which great herds of cattle
aro being pastured, will be found to
bo adt'/invbly adapted for dairying
seed-grass production and the growing
of general farm produce of all kinds,
as well as cattle, horses, sheep and
hog raising. Following upon the completion of tho Pacific Great Eastern
Railway and resultant influx of settlers
the Cariboo division will doubtless
ship much farm produce to tho markets on the coast, whero the opening
bf the Panama canal Is bound to draw
traffic and make an ever-lnreaalng
market for farm produce.
' There is much land In the Cariboo
division pre-eminently adapted for
farming along mixed or dairy lines;
also for dry farming, a system of agriculture which will afford large returns to tho farmer. There nre various areas which are lacustrine, hut
others, especially on the high plateaux, are more or less arid and dry-
farming will offer the most profitable
inethod of agrlculturo there. To demonstrate tlie method of dry farming
und the possibilities it off-^s.'for.suc
cessEut farming' on' ' the 'semi-arid
lands of the dry belt, the minister of
lands has established experimental
dry farms, ono of which Is located at
10.1*Mile House—and the opportunities
offered to tho dry farmer in this part
of tho province are being demonstrated thore.
Th**- office of tho government agent
for the division, to whom all applicant's tor pre-emptions within its boundaries must be made, is at Quesnel.

VIVISECTION    AND     MOSQUITOES
■A facetious correspondent of the
New York Tribune, using vivisection
as a background, presents his views
respecting what lie considers to be
the barbarous treatment of the interesting Insects commonly known as
mosu.uit.oes, which he calls the most
friendless of creatures. "I passed,
some days ago, through a beautiful
■wood," writes tliiB friend of the mos*
qiiito, "and In it admired a sparkling
pool of water. Returning after BOme
days I found the pool covered with
la disgusting Bcum of crude oil. Here
for centuries peaceful families of
mosquitoes had lived and flourished
[Tne'^iithiul parent had 'deposited the
;cggS, In due course of timo the young
on silky pinions had gone through
this whole region singing their sweet
song. A great abundance of mos*
quitdes enjoyed, the healthful air
and bright sun shine—blessings on
them! Hut In a day all was changed
by th(. rash hand' of the agent of the
board of health; I must lift my voice
against this barbarism.
Wise mon have always taught us
that the highest product of tbls
mortal life Is character. And what
nobler element of character than
patience! And what a cultivator of
patience Is the mosquito! Behold
this sleeper He hears a familiar
sound, and a sharp slap echoes from
his right cheek, while the mosquito's hum fadoB away In the distance.' He turns to him the other
also, and. slapping that, a hutton on
the cuff of his pajamas strikes his
eye and th0 peaceful hum sounds
again. Then this would-be sleebtr
leaps from his lied and fumbles
among the drugs for bis camphor
pottle. So this little creature, even
at the imminent risk of Us own life,
passes quietly from room to room,
teaching patience.
We area music loving people, and
a few favorite kind of music is the
parlor or chamber sort. Caruso and
Gluck and Homer have delighted
home companies with their dulcet
notes. But the mosquito. exceiB in
all the chamber music—there he has
borne the palm for centuries. And
he is your true democrat. Would
Caruso or Gluck or Homer sing In
the slums or in the kitchen to the
butler, tbe waitress and the cook?
But to all alike comes the song of
the mosquito. Tt would seem bs If
the lower the scene the more his
note prevails, And he favors alike
all' nationalities; Tbe Italian; the
Pole and the Turk all know that siren
soiig and respond to It at once. It
summons all 'humanity to • patience,
tf you prick hlm, does not he bleed?
tf you poison him, does not he die?
And tf you wrong hlm, shall lie not
revenge? The henllh hnard's bnrlinr-
Ism must end!    .   •'

■ NEW YORK; Aug. 2.-Wlth one of
the first tea battles of the war imminent off the Amerioan coast owin*j f*,
th« efforts of the British to bottle up
the German protected cruisers Dresden,
Karlsruhe and Straasburg, the Ger-'
man government fa exhausting every
expedient of modern science to place
Its warships In neutral ports. Wireless
stations are being called upon for their
most effective long range service to
bet word to the vessels in danger and
the radiograms are being supplemented
by messages sent by swift despatch
boats.
The Dresden has been reported to
ie off St. Thomas, Danish- West Indies. It also has been reported to be
lying outside New York harbor ready
to attempt the capture of British merchant vessels.
Great Britain has sent tw0 pf her
more' powerful cruisers on unknown
missions which are expected to spell
disaster to tbe Dresden. The British
cruisers Suffolk and Bristol left Vera
Cruz Friday, their destination not be
inp disclosed. In addition the Essex
and' the Lancaster are at Tampico,
The Berwich left Vera Cruz yesterday,
ostensibly for Canada, but her real
orders are not known.
' The radio station at Cape Hatteras
has been In close touch with the British warships and long messages - in
cipher have been sent to their commanders. This is believed to indicate
that British vessels will seek the Dresden and as they are superior in armament they would be able to overwhelm
her in a battle that would be as brief
as jt would be decisive. The German
wireless station at Sayvillo, La,, sent
a radiogram to the Dresden believed to
contain full instructions for h*>r course
i the present crisis-*, That these instructions'ere for the'Dresden to seek
an American port at top speed ia most

THE WAR.
What should tn the ordinary course
of events he the world's most terrible
war has! been' launched by Germany.
Following her interference with Russia's policy In the Austrian-Servian
embrogllo, Germany has declared war
against that country and has boldly
Invaded France without a formal declaration of war. By her course Germany has transformed what might
have been a minor struggle, one that
could have been adjusted hy diplomatic effort bad the government at
Berlin been so Inclined, Into a contest
of men and money which may change
the map of Europe.
While the situation as ft stands,
with Servia, Russia and France lined
up on one side and Germany and Aus*
trtk-Htihgary on the other, is so seri-
oils aB to be appalling, it unfortunately appears to be but the forerunner
of a much more serious one, in which
Great Britain and practically all the
rest of Europe may be engaged. Germany, not' content with precipitating
the war In which she is now engaged,
haa by her invasion of the duchy of
Luxemburg Invited Great Britain to
join the conflict as an opponent in addition to France and Russia. -No other view can be taken of Germany's
course in tbls.matter, for when her
troops were ordered to cross the Ger*
man border Into Luxemburg she knew
that Great Britain had guaranteed the
neutrality of that duchy, as well as of
Holland and Belgium, in case of war,
and that any breach of that neutrality,
If Great Britain's undertaking 1s good
for anything—and who will say it is
hot-*-could mean only one thing, so
far as the guarantor was concerned,
a resort to arms.
To those of a more ardent temperament It may seem strange that Croat
Britain has not already taken up tin
gauntlet so cavalierly thrown down
by Germany. Downing street Is tak
tng Its time to deliberate, possibly
either still hopeful that a general war
may be averted or because there has
ns yet been no formal declaration of
war. between Germany and France.
To suggest that Great Britain should
shirk her obligations to Fiance In this
matter, if the war proceeds, Ib un*
thinkable. It can be taken for granted that'Great Britain has In some
manner taken formal notice of Germany's, invitation to fight. With the
strict censorship which is being maintained it is not surprising, however,
th'atthe manner in which this has
been done has not become public.
'-■■Following, premier Asqulth's state*
ment in the house of commons prom*
Ised tor today this and other matters
may be known to tbe world. In tbe
meantime there can only be speculation concerning the Luxomburg matter and concerning Great Britain's policy generally,' At the same time it
can -he said that it will surprise a very
large section of the civilized world If
Great Britain is not within perhaps a
few hours, perhaps a day or perhaps
a few days a participant In the titanic
struggle which Germany has bo deliberately precipitated.
CANADA WILL DO HER PART.
There will be general agreement
throughout Canada with the action of
the Dominion government in offering
Great Britain 20,000 troops should she
be drawn into the present European
war. The official reply of the Old
Country government practically means
acceptance If British participation becomes a fact. It is likely that the
assistance of the overseas dominions,
In tbe event of actual trouble, will be
of very material aid to the empire.
So far as the raising of 20,000 troops
Ib concerned this will be an easy thing
to do in Canada. Not only will that
number bQ found ready to volunteer,
if asked, but several times that number of men will be as easily raised.
Canada will do ber part.
S> WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING
Unfair
Thc London police probably have
been strangers to astonishment for at
least a year. They have met the fury
ladles in many activities and they accept the most untoward event as the
commonplace of a day's work. Wondering "what the ladies will do next has
ceased -to have thrills. Speculation.Is
easily answered. Anything. Nevertheless, something very like an emotion
must have started ln the seaso

They have no inhibitions. The policeman, being a man, had his limitations.
He let go of his prisoner and caught

It is quite probable that the auto

horse very soon In rural mail routes.
At present the allowance for carriage
on rural routes is (1,200 a year; the

Germans Reported Repulsed
The German force which came into
France near Cirey, which Is 40 miles
from Nancy, is reported to have been
repulsed "with heavy losses, 'but this
has not 'been  confirmed.
Apparently .the German army is
duplicating the first movement of thf
Franco-Prussian war. It was on Aug
2, 1870, 44 years ago, that the French
and Germans clashed in the first battle- of that war et Saarbrucken.
All telegraphic and telephonic communication between Brussels and
Luxemburg has -been severed. By the

Germans Violate Neutrality
A train load of German soldiers arrived at the station at Luxemburg
during the night. Thc troops seized
the station and the brldgos on tho
Trlevs in order to secure the regular
passage of military trains across the
duchy. After the seizure the soldiers
proceeded to barracks.
The Luxemburg volunteers protested
against this violation of neutrality, but
In reply the Germans asserted that
the railway .belonged to them and that
they had the right to do what they
liked in Luxemburg.
According to a newspaper publish
ed at Liege, 20,000 German troops
crossed the frontier of France thfa
morning near Nancy. They encountered French forces and were repulsed
with heavy losses. This news, however, lacks confirmation. .
A telephone despatch from Brussels
today said lt was reported there that
Germany had declared war on France
and that the French ambassador, Jules
Cambon, had left the German capital.
France   Invaded.
The report could not be confirmed.
The French cmbusBy today issued
the following statement:
"French territory has been invaded
at Cirey and German troops arc marching on the fort at Cirey. This act has
been committed without a declaration
or war. The German ambassador is
at present in Paris,"*
Germany declared today that it was
unable to answer the question by the
British ambassador at Berlin as
whether it is prepared to respect the
neutrality of Belgium.

War Declaration Dramatic.
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
ST.- PETERSBURG, Aug. 2.—The
severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Germany took place
under dramatic circumstances. It was
midnight Friday when Count von
Pourtlaes, German ambassador In
Russia, visited Foreign Minister Saz-
anoff and asked for an urgent interview. As soon as he was received he
formally called upon Russia to cease
Its mobilization in 12 hours. The allotted period of time passed without
an answer.
At 7 o'clock Saturday evening Count
von Pourtlaes again called upon M.
Sazanoff and again asked if Russia
would cease mobilizing Its forces.
To this the Russian statesman replied; ■    I
"Inasmuch as the Russian government has not answered within the
time you specified, lt follows that Russia has declined to agree with your
demand."

without another word. He and the
members of his staff at once departed from St. Petersburg by way of Finland.
According to the Novoe Vromya,
Count von Pourtlaes held In his hand

at leust, but there is still no official
rupture. Baron von Sehoen, the German ambassador, gives no sign of
leaving his post. He visited the
French foreign office yesterday evening In order to try and explain away

declaring war, so as to make Franco
appear tho aggressor in tho eyes of
the world, particularly in the eyes of
Great Britain.
There is the greatest anxiety In
Paris over Great Britain's attitude. On

Sydney Expects  Naval   Fight
(By Dally News Leased Wire.)
SYDNEY, N. S., Aug. 2.—Two Gorman cruisers were sighted today off
St. Pierre, Miq. Thoy aro probaibly
from Mexican or West Indian waters.
It Is surmised that the object of
their presence so near Sydney harbor
is to secure coal for a transatlantic
voyage or that they have been do*
-j* tailed to watch this port and the entrance to the St. Lawrence.
A statement to this effect was made
this evening by Capt. Postin, the officer commanding tho detachment detailed to guard the coble station at
Lloyd covo. He was notified of the
presence- of the warships by cabio
from Newfoundland and requests
shipping bo notified of the fact.
It is conjectured that St. Pierro it.
self may be the objective of the
cruisers, which may bo awaiting word
of a formal declaration of war between
Franco and Germany. The French
cruiser Frlant cannot ho far away.
Admitting    the    report   about   the
Gorman    cruisers   being   correct,
naval fight seems imminent in these
waters.

Strand Becomes Fashionable
Since Lord Lytton 'took his new
house in Buckingham 'street, off the
Strand, one or two interesting society
women, notably Lady Maidstone, want
| abodes in tho samo quarter.- it ls a
wise man who can foretell which district of London ls going to be the fashion next and certainly the airless
Strand is the very last epot one would
have dreamed any individual who
loves health and oxygon would havo
selected. Of course It is the literary
associations that hang about this part
that appeals both to Lord Lytton and
also to Lady Maldstono. Bernard
Shaw lives in Adclphie terrace, Anthony Hopo Hawkins also has a den
there and so has Sir James Barrie.
Somo of her Intimates say that Lady
Maidstone 'is aibout to publish a volume
of sonnets which are said to he exceptionally original and pathetic. She
is awfully fond of the artistic set, especially the literary, and many a budding genius Is discovered at her
parties.
Lady Diana Manners said for several
days after tho famous social cnta-
stropho on the Thames whon Sir Denis
Anson was drowned that the world was
no place for her and that she must de
sort it for an Anglican nunnery. Somo
peoplo believed she meant it and,
strange as it may appear, she really
dld. However, eho is .better, and only
mentions now that wild horses will not
drag her near the Thames as long as
hor name Is Diana,
Sir Ernest Cassel Lonely
At a party tho other night sho was
for a long timo talking to Sir Ernest
Cassol, apparently telling him all about
the disaster. Poor Sir Ernest rarely
goes to parties In theso 'days. He pre
fers to stay with his canaries at Brook
House. It Is pathetic to sec his great
Park Lane residence looking so do*
sorted. HQ has aged In appcurance a
good deal since the death of his
daughter and though his friends keep
on telling him to remarry those who
know hlm best say he never will, He
said to a friend lately that ho considered Miss Page, the American ambassador's daughter, one of tho mosl
Interesting girls he had ever met, liei
conversation was so nmusing,
I hear tho present government hat
approached Andrew Carnegie, indirectly, with a view to presenting him with
a peerage—on tho usual terms, ol
course—tout ho sent the lady—I would
not for the world give her away—right
about face, saying, unless he were
worthy of the honor for honor's sake
no power would Induce him to pay i-
brass farthing for it, "Andrew Carnegie" was titlo enough for him, he
added.
Of all the functions that the Cana*
(linn agents-general and their wives at
present In England have attended, the
reception given in their honor by the
Earl of Dysart at his beautiful and
historic mansion, Ham House, near
Richmond, was voted the most enjoy
atole.
Situated on one of the most charming reaches of tho Thames, and surrounded by fields and avenues of "trees,
the house Is within ten miles ot London, and most of the guests motored
down from town in less than an hour.
Ham House Is one of the private palaces of England and is crammed with
ancient furniture, exquisite tapestries,
ornaments, silver, pictures, etc., which
the visitors were much Interested In
inspecting, the whole houso 'being
thrown open to them. It Is said to
have ipeen one of the houses in which
King Charles 11. took refuge after his
flight from London and the Cabal cab-
Hlnj-M.-in-'t Aie*t in one of its rooms.
1   Since the present earl came Into the
property the whole place has been
put in order and properly maintained,
but had any of the Visitors seen Ham
House say 40 years ago he would have
been considerably surprised. The
earl's father was a man of very free
purse, and when he died the inheritance was in a most impoverished condition. The estate was placed In the
hands of trustees, and onc of them, the
earl's uncle, Algernon Tollemache,
worked energetically to conservo tho
revenue and -bring to the estate some
of Us former splendor. He certainly
allowed no money to be wasted at Ham
House during his tenancy. Crops of
hay were taken off tho fine lawns
every year and most of the house was
closed,
His was a careful stewardship and
resulted In the family fortune being
in a flourishing state whon the present earl succeeded to thc title.
Many Notables There
The many Canadians present wero
full of admiration of the many objects
of interest which the earl so courteously pointed out to them. Over 1,000
guests were invited, including many'
notabilities on this side. Eanl Grey,
looking very bronzed and fit after his
trip to South Africa and Canada; Hon.
G. H. Perley—who, by the way, made
one of his interesting speeches—with
Mrs. and Miss Perley; Richard Reld,

holland of Toronto; Hon. J. H. Turner, agent-general for British Colum-
hia, and Mrs. Turner; John Howard,
agent -■general for Nova Scotia, and
Mrs. Howard; .A. Reid, agent-general
for Alberta, and Mrs. Reld, and the
otlher Canadian representatives and
their Wives. Other Canadians whom
I noticed wero Lady Ashbumham,
formerly Miss Anderson of Frederic-
ton, New Brunswick, who has becom
a general favorite during her few
months' residence here; Professor and
Mrs. Polham Edgar of Toronto university; and Canon Arthur Beaulands,
formerly of Victoria, B. C; W. H,

Mrs. Ross and his daughters, By thi
way, as some of his Canadian guests
reminded him, the Earl of Dysart hi
a relative in Canada in the person of
Ralph Charles Tollemache, who has
lived.In Winnipeg for some years,
Justice Mathers in Ireland
Ono'of the most interesting visitors
from Canada I have conversed with i;
Chief Justice T. G. Mathers of Win
nipeg, He is here with Mrs, Mathers
his son and little daughter, making i
tour of Great Britain and the contln
ent. He is frequently at tho law
courts, where ho is generally invited
on tho bench by thc presiding Judge,
Later on he goes to Ireland, ns many
Canadians are doing, to gain a personal impression of the trouble twlxt
Nationalist and Ulsterman. Thou he
will go to Scotland and afterward lo
France, Italy and Germany. Another
Canadian legal light here Is Sir Charles
Fitzpatrlck, chief Justice of Canada,
who took his seat on the privy council
last week. Lady Fitzpatrick is with
him and they have taken a house near
Windsor.
Alphonse Bernier, K. C. of Levis, is
hero to plead before the privy council.
Mrs. Bernier is with him and they
leave for a short trip to Paris shortly.
Agricultural shows are, of course,
tho hobby of tho Hon. Duncan Marshall, Alberta's minister of agriculture,
and his movements have been dictated
by tho show calendar—yesterday In
Wales, today ln Scotland nnd later in
the Midlands, He leaves this week for
a short visit to the continent, prior to
returning home.
J. O. Bricker of Vancouver leaves
for Venice in a fow days. He will be
accompanied as far as Paris by his
slstor, Mrs. R. F. Ogilvy of Montreal
and her son, who will spend a few
weeks with friends in the French
capital.

GERMANY HAS ADVANTAGE
.  OVER ARMY OF FRANCE
(Western Associated Press Cable.)
PARIS, July 31.—The outcome of
the recent debate fn the senate on
army organization and administration
wus that tho army committee wns Instructed to submit a full report on war
material on tlio reassembling of parliament in October.
The minister of war, in replying to
the charges made by M. Humbert,
admitted thut nil that might have been
done had not been accomplished.
From 1900 to 1005 Germany had spent
£28,000,000 on lier army, as compared
with £11,260,000 in France. From
1900 to 1910 Germany had expended
£37,200,000, while France had spent
£19,000,000. From 1911 to 1913 Ger-
many had spent £23,400,000, France
£16,500,000.
In artillery France had 2,504 guns;
by the end of 1917 she will havo 3,020.
Germany has at present 3,370, and a
distinct superiority ln heavy calibr
weapons. The 75 mm. gun of the
French army was superior to the corresponding weapon In Germany. Ki'-
forts were being made to increase the
stock of shells. Experiments with
heavy artillery were now in progress
and would shortly lead to an Improvement In this respect. Five guns for
use against dirigibles would he had
this year; next year they would number 35,

EMPIRE PRESENTS
UNITED FRONT
(Continued from Pace One.)
for mobilization of such Canadian
forces as may bo re-quired, hut nothing
more cun bc done until there is a
formal declaration of war on the pari
of or against Britain. The mobilization of even a section of the Canadian
militia nt the present time would be
tantamount to a declaration of war.
No one is worrying at the capital
about the question of volunteers.
There will -be volunteers aplenty. Tbe
real problem is as to how they cun be
transported across the Atlantic.
Navy Must Act First
The wur Strategists are praeticully
agreed that nothing effective Is likely
to be dond until Grout Britain hus de
monstratcd (hut lt is still the mistress.
of the soas olther by destroying or
ibirttllng-up the Ocrmah navy. That
feat accomplished, cruisers could he
spared to protect transports currying
troops, as well us vessels loaded with
foodstuffs for the people of Great
Britain.
It is stated thut the imperial uutho*
rltle*s have asked Canada for a. state*
ment of the food supplies and horses
for cavalry and artillery service *whlcb
are available in Canada nt the pres*
ont time, According to the lll!i' offi
ctal announcement there are HOOO.ooi
bushels of wheat available : for export
At the present time and the total "crop
being 'harvested Is estimated to yield
175,000,000 bushels. The matter »f the
desirability of refusing -to allow Austrian Or Germm- reservists now in
Canada to leave tor their homos
take up nrms" ugnlnnt Grent Brllniu
andruer allies-is- not-likely* to'give
much trouble*, 1 for the simple reason
rthat under'the 'present circumstances
as,-tp-the,"transport, thoy would not'be
able to leajvo the country even by the
way df**New York. ■
May Cell Parliament Hurriedly
Should vf3re(".t Britain declare war
W|p)ift:.*the\:*n*J5tt;24 hours it is believed
hero tonight-that the ministers will nt
•once ise.ue a proclamation summoning
•jm)ilament to moot.
ly. is ,,understood that Sir Wilfrid
Laut-I'er Is'prepared to give assurance
,to the -prime minister, if ho hns nol
done, so'already, thut there is no division of'opinion in Canada when the
■fate''of'the""Empire may ibe at stake.
It Is predicted that while - tho world
strife is on domestic controversies will
rest iiy'abeyaneo und both leaders will
albanuoh' their .propound western, trips.

QUEBEC, Aug. 2.—In tiie event Df
Premier "Bdrden's offer of an army
division bf 30,000 to 25,000 men being
accepted Quebec will be the point of
embarkation. Col. Sam Hughes, minister of militia, arrived here by special'train this morning nnd motored
out to Valonrtler, about 20 miles away.
This, he said, has been chosen ns the
mobilization barracks and the probability, is that tiiotlsands of troops mny
be pouring In here before next Sat
ufday;conies.around, according to the
statement'.of the minister.
Vajjcartler has already been selected
as a camp. Some time ago-it was. to
have'been a training ground for artillery. The camp area is about 10
miles square and Col. Hughes con
stders it will be an ideal su/jt. for mob
illzntion owing to Its proximity to
Quebec, the nature of the country nnd

THE   HAT-PIN   MENACE.
■veryone -knows that a hat-pin
J.t, protruding several Inches be-
the brim of a woman's hat. Is
■nirce of danger to anyone in close
Idmity to the wearer of the pin.
■bnbly no one sees the more serious
Itequcnce so frequently as the eye
T'ilallst.   Sam-etimos the Injury con
sists of a mere scratch, which heats
readily and -leaves no permanent defect. On the other, hand every now
and then the scratch becomes Infected, anti serious Impairment of sight,
if not actual loss of the eye, results.
One ~wh'o has seen ' these bad results is for ever alarmed for himself
and others when he sees a protruding
hat pin point In u crowded car or
theatro lobby, or wherever people are
closely crowded together. It ought
not to be necessary to pass laws to
prevent such accidents, but as the
number of such cases does not decrease It would seem t0 be desirable
to make the warning of shorter hatpins obligatory.
There are devices on the market
for covering and protecting the end
of a hat-pin which are effective and
inexpensive. Any Jeweler can shorten
a, long hat-pin in a few minutes and
at a. cost of a few cents, thereby, perhaps, save a fellow being's eye.
A GREAT NOVELIST'S
DECLARATION  OF  LOVE
April 26, 1819, was the first of days
for Victor Hugo, the great French
novelist. It was the day on which he
and his sweetheart Adele declared
their love.   This is how it happened:
She said, "I am sure you have
secrets. Have you • not one Beeret
greater than all?" Victor acknowledged that he had secrets and that
one of them was greater than all the
rest.
"Just like me," cried Adele. "Well,
come now, tell me your greatest
Beeret and I will tell you mine."
"My ^rreat secret," Victor replied,
"Is that I love you."
"And my great secret ls that I love
you," said Adele like an echo.
