THE WAR SITUATION
MONDAY
While the German forces are push-
ing forward through the valley of the
Meuse and still more extensive
operations are in progress along the
Alsace-Lorraine frontier where the
French and German armies are in
contact. Japan has sent an ultimatum
to Germany, demanding the with-
drawal of the German warships from
the Orient and the evacuation of
Kian•Chau a German protectorate in
China.
This territory comprises an area of
200 square miles additional in the bay.
Teing-Tau, the seat of the governor
of the territory, is the port where the
German warships mobilized at the
outbreak of hostilities.
Japan's ultimatum gives Germany
until August 28 to comply with the
demands. Owing to the cable inter-
ruption, however, Japan has not
been able to deliver the ultimatum to
Germany and it is announced from
Washington that the U. S. will under-
take this task.
Peking reports that three British
regiments have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness to go aboard
transports and it is presumed that
they will co-operate with the Japanese
land forces, if force of arms is re-
sorted to.
In Tokio the Japanese ultimatum
has created a deep impression and the
Japanese Premier and foreign
minister have counselled the Japanese
to maintain a calm attitude.
Late dispatches report an offensive
movement by the French from Lune-
ville to Searebonrg but this iscon-

Japan may take against Germany
will not extend beyond the China seas
except for the protection of Japanese
shipping.
The British war council has decided
to exclude correspondents from the
forces in the field, and it is announced
that the French war department in-
tends to take the same action and
that probably war correspondents in
Belgium will be ordered out of that
state.
The German Emperor and the
Grown Prince and two other imperial
princes, are now ab the great fortress
of Mainz. The emperors departure

A British expeditionary force,
numbering more than 100,000, has
made a safe landing at French and
Belgium ports and is doubtless well
on its way to form a junction with its
allies.
A significant statement is issued by
the British official press bureau to the
effect that desultory fighting has oc-
curred between the British patrolling
squadrons and flotillas and German
reconnoitering cruisers. "A certain
liveliness is apparent in the Southern
area of the North sea," the statement
adds.
There are rumors of a naval ens
gagement about 100 miles off Har-

that the French troops have occupied
all the region in Lorraine, 82 miles
inside the German frontier.
Au American corps has been
organized in Paris and several Ameri-
can aviators have offered the Govern-
ment their aeroplanes. There is
some question as to whether this,
offer will be accepted, because of
possible international complication.
The former French Minister of
Finance, Paul Dourer, who has re-
turned from the front in Belgium
says that three Zeppelins have been
destroyed by gun fire and one wreck-
ed by dropping into the forest.
In order to set at rest reports of .

FINE DAY AT THE IANE
Notwithstanding the threatening
appearance of the weather Thursday
morning of last week between 700 and
800 were aboard the specialtr'ain when
it arrived at Kincardine, representa-
tives being present from almost all
the stations between. Palmerston and
Ripley inclusive. The train was
made up of 11 coaches and a baggage
car, pulled by two engines and was
in charge of Conductor Moorehead,
brakesmen Everett and Stewart and
Engineers Moorehead and Mcdanish
With the exception of a shower of rain
near 6 p. m. the day, was choice. Old
Neptune was not in any too good
humor and little was done in boating
or taking the "annual bath."
The many baskets were soon sought
for after arrival at the Lakeside park
as most people were hungry as the
proverbial hawk. Through the kind-
ness of Kincardine officials the dray
met train and conveyed baskets to
the pavilion, while an abundance of
hot water was at hand for tea purpos-
es. Everybody had a good time.
As a means of entertainment the
merry-go-round proved a strong
card to both old and young and the
proprietor had a busy day. In the
Base ball park Lucknow and Brussels
juniors played a game at 2 p, m. in
which the Sepoys utterly routed the
lads from the carpet town. Score
book was said to be lost. Kincardine
and Palmerston teams pub on a match
that was well contested Home team
won by a score of 11 to 5. One of the
Palmerston nine was injured by a
collision with the fence while: attempt- -
ing to catch a ball, otherwise the re-
sults might bave been closer. ,
No accident marred the pleasure of
the day, although a Wingham youth
got bis good clothes damped by falling
into the barber from a rowboat but '
was speedily rescued.
Shortly after 7 p. m. the train pull-
ed out from -toe lakeside town with
cheers from the Excursionists for
Kincardine, answered by many of the
citizens who were on hand to see us '
off.
Kincardine is a lovely spot at which.
to enjoy an outing, Has a splendid
beach, easy of access, a pretty town
with fine homes and nicely kept
lawns, streets, delightful town park
with flower plots, oanuon, . benches,
fountain, &c., the wonder is that 11
visitors to every one are not found
there. The cottage population is
ggrowing, however and if the town got
busy with a few more improvements
and ab the same time would see that
a much lower rate were given by the
G. T. R. a strong inducement would
be offered outsiders to holiday at
Kincardine,
