TIEIN AM ADVANCE Canada Votes fifty Millions House Laid Aside Political Differences and Spoke With United Voices CHANGES iN MME TARIFF War Tax Chiefly on Coffee, Sugar, Tobacco and Spirits elanada's tirst war budget was pre- sented to Parliament in a half-hour statement by the Minister of I'`inance Thursday. To partly meet a con- dition where revenues will be less than last year by some $36,000,000 and expenditures greater by more than $60,000,000, war taxes on two of the necessaries of lite, sugar and cof- fee, and two of the luxuries, spirits and tobacco, with minor changes affecting some forty items in the tariff schedules, are imposed. The increased tariff duties are ex- pected to yield additional revenue of about $8,200,000 as follows: 5,000,OOU Sugar Spirits Green coffee Tobacco Some of the Changes The changes in excise duties are: Malt 'liquor, increased from ten cents to fifteen cents per gallon. Malt from one And a half to three cents per pound. Spirits from $1.90 to $2.40 per gal- lon. Cigars increase $1 per thousand, and cigarettes 60 cents per thousand. Manufactured tobacco from five ceats to ten cents per pound. In order to meet the action of dis- tillers and brewers who have ex - warehoused their goods, with a view to avoiding expected war taxes, all the excise duties are made retro- active to August 7th, and the same date applies to the import duties on liquors. In addition there are a number of other increases spoken of as "conse- quential changes," the duty being in- creased on the following articles: Cocoa paste, cocoa powder, cocoa and chocolate preparations; Coffee extract; condensed milk; milk foods; biscuits, sweetened; fruits, preserved in brandy and jellies, jams; confec- tionery, preferential; ales, beers and porters; lime and fruit juices; al- cohol; spirits of nitre; medicated wines; malt flour; chemical prepar- ations, including patent medicines and paints and colors ground in spirits. Fifty Millions Voted The vote of $50,000,000 for war and defence purposes was put through the resolution stage in just one minute. The Minister of Finance declared that Canada was prepared to spend her last drop of blood and her last dollar for the defence of the Empire. Then he proceeded to tell what was needed in the way of expenditure, and how he proposed to raise it. Mr. White declared the intention o; the Government to maintain so far as possible the existing program of public works under construction, but added that new works would not be undertaken till the financial situation cleared. Under such a policy he es, timated that the revenue would just about suffice to meet ordinary running expenditure. This left to be other, wise provided for capital, special and investment expenditure a total of probably $30,000,000, together with such special expenditure as might be made for the common defence of ' Canada and the Empire. The special war taxes representing only a fraction of the increase L military and naval expenditure win, fall, the Minister said, on the entire community. "In paying them esch citizen will feel that the amount he pays is adirect contribution to the defence of Canada and the Empire." Both Sides United Party lines were forgotten when the House met for the most momen- tous session in its history, Mr. Donald Sutherland, of South Oxford, who moved, and D. D. Les- 'perance, of Montmagny, who second- ed the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, dwelt upon the duty of the country to care for the families of the men who were about to risk their lives in battle for Canada and the Empire, and upon the wonderful unanimity of sentiment which had united all the states of the Empire and for the time had obliterated fac. tional and political differences in Ire- land, in Great Britain, in Canada and. in every nation under the Union Jack, The Premier, Sir Robert Borden, Voiced the sentiment of the house when he Bald: "As to our duty, all are agreed. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mother Country. With firm hearts we abide the issue." The Premier's Statement Sir 'Robert said in part: "It is not fitting that t should prolong this de- bate. In the awful dawn of the greae est war the world has ever known, in the hour when peril confronts na such as this Empire has not faced for a hundred years, every vain or un neeessary word seems a discord. As to our duty all are Agreed, east and west, and shoulder to shoulder, with Britain and the other British Domin- ions in this quarrel, And that duty we shelf not fail to fulfill as the honor of Canada demands. Not for love of battle, not for lust of conquest, not for greed of possessions, but for the cause of honor, to maintain solemn pledges, to uphold principles of libea ty, to withstand forces that would convect the world into an armed camp, yes, in the very name sof the peace that we Sought at any cost, save that of dishonor, We have en. toren Into this warr and while o gr v e ly conscious of ':e treniondous issues involved and of all the sacrifices Ma, 2,600,000 500,000 200,000 Court Of Revision Notice is givers that a oour't Will be held pursuant to the Ontterio Voters' Lia t Aot by d ► Y his Honor judge of the Court of the County of Huron, at Township Hall, Bluetale on September r '7th,1014, at 1 p.mt i to hear and de - famine oomplalnte of error* std omtn1e8ion0 in the voters' Iist of the Toiwneblp ofTurnberrj' for 2911.

"Our appeal is not to the god of battles, but to the God of jute tice and mercy. We have had our differences : 'd disagreements, but here and now I give the assurance that in what has been done and in what remains to be done we shan. take no exception and offer no critic- ism so long as there is danger at the front. We propose to let the friends and the foes of Britain know that a united Canada stands with the Mother Country, conscious and proud that she wages war not for selfish purposes, but with one mind and, one heart to maintain untarnished the honor and dignity of her name, and to save civilization front the unbridled lust of conquest and power," Parliament prorogued on Saturday after the shortest session in the his- tory of the Dominion, The House in four days put through the tariff changes, passed the war appropriation and made drastic amendments to the banking and currency law:, without a dissenting vole'. The Minister of Militia announced that a second mill- tary contingent might be sent from Canada. JAPAN DECLARES WAR Japan on Sunday night declared war upon Germany. This action was taken at the ex- piration of the time limit of Japan's ultimatum to Germetny demanding the surrender of Kiao-Chau. The Japanese Goverzunent ordered the beginning of operations on land an sea, The British official press bureau made the following announcement: "Orders have been issued by the Austro-Hungarian Government to the cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth, lying in Kiao-Chau harbor, to disarm, and the crew proceed to Tien-Tsin." The blockade of Tseng -Tau, the forti- fied seaport of Iiioa-Chau, has begun. British, French and Russian war- ships are taking part In the move - went. BRUSSELS (APfURED Unfortified Capital of Belgian Offered no Resistance to Germans The Germans are over -running North Belgium, and are moving on to Ostend and Antwerp. The British Consul at Ostend on Friday advised all the English to leave that place, and most of them departed for Folke- stone. The Germans occupied Brus- sels, the capital of Belgium without firing a. shot. cavalrymen took pos- session of the city Thursday, and held it until the German hussars and Uhlans arrived the next day outside the gates, where they were met by the Burgomaster. The German general notified him that Brussels must pay a war levy of $40,000,000 which is equivalent to $55 from every man, woman and child in the city. Tho treasurer of the place, speaking to a British correspondent, said, "No possible coercive methods will give theta even a fraction of that sum." Very little is known of the oper- ations of last week which put the German army between the Belgian forces and their French allies and enabled the Germans to occupy Brus- sels. It is supposed the Germans must have brought up very strong forces behind their cavalry screens, and that a :revere battle must have been fought to compel the Belgians to abandon Brussels and retire on Antwerp. Whether or not the French forces were engaged with the Belgians is not known. Antwerp has been placed In a state of siege, and all foreigners have been asked to leave. King Al- bert and the general staff are in the city, the forts remanned, and the civil guard has been directed to act under orders of the military. Fast Channel steamers have been requisit- ioned to carry non-combatants to places of safety. The defences of the city are considered impregnable. No information is available as to whether the Germans now intend to devote themselves to the task of re- ducing Antwerp or to an endeavor to force their way southward into France, It seems, however, that the determination is to attack. the Bel- gian army of some 150,000 men who are still in or around Antwerp. The Germans already are advancing in the direction of Ghent. They have (mete pied Alost, fifteen miles northwest o: Brussels, and Wetteren, eight miles southeast of Ghent, and apparently intend to overrun the whole of north- ern Belgium to the sea. The following description of the German entry into Brussels was wired to London: "By 7 o'clock in the morning the city was j ractfcally surrounded by German cavalry, whom systematically seized the railway and telegraph offices and posted pickets at the erose roads. When this envelopment was completed a full German army corps marched through Brussels. "The first troops to enter the city were the famous Black Brunswick Hussers, with the well known death's head badge on their busbies. Their horses Were exhausted. Then came a solid phalanx of Gertnen infantry, which took possession of the Brus- sels barracks and heights. Regiment after regiment quietly piled their arms, looking rather weary but de- termined and fit. They behaved in an exemplaryManner." The newspapers in London printed the following despatch, dated Nish, Servfa, Aug. 21: "The general staff announces the complete victory of the Serbs in a four•days' battle neer Losnitza. The lessen oil both sides wereenormous. h en o mou s. T evictors captured great booty and several thousand prisoners." Court Of Revision 4,441.44144,14.

AWES EA .L OACK ASSUME DEFENSIVE irltieh and French Withdraw to Covering Posltlona—•British Hold Ground With Steadfastness The French War Office issued the following statement late Monday might: "The French and British, the plan of attack havieg failed awing to un- foreseen difficulties, have retired on the covering positione. "West of the Meuse the Br:ttsit army on our left was attacked by the Germans, bat behaved admirably, holding its ground with traditional steadfastness. "The French assumed the offensive with two army corps. .An African brigade in the front line, carried away by their eagerness, wore . re- ceived by a murderous fire. They did not give an inch, but, counter-attack- ed by the Prussian guard, they were obliged to retire, only, however, after indicting enorino:ea losses. The Pruta elan guard especially suffered heavily. "East of the Meuse our troops ad- vanced across an extremely difficult country and made a vigorous attack when they emerged from the woods, but were obliged to fall back after e stiff fight south of the River Seine's. "On order of General Jotrre our troops and the British troops, with- drew to the covering positions. Our troops are intact; our cavalry has in no way suffered, and our artillery has affirmed its superiority. Our officers and soldiers are in the best condition, morally and physically. "As a result of the orders which have been issued, the aspect of the struggle will change for a few days, The French army will remain for a time on the defensive, but at the right moment, to be decided on by the Comutander-in-Chief, it will resume a vigorous offensive. "Our losses are heavy; it would be premature to enumerate them. It would be equally so to enumerate those of the Germans, who suffered. so heavily that they were obliged to abandon their counter-attacks and establish themselves in fresh position, in Lorraine. "We delivered four attacks Sunday from our positions north of Natter, inflicting very heavy loss on the enemy. "In regard to tiie general situation. we have the full use of our railroads and retain command of the seas. Our operations have enabled the Russians Co come into action and penetrate the heart of East Prussia." The Official Bureau at London is- sued the following statement Monday evening: "News has been received that the first line of defence has been taken, necessitating the withdrawal of a por- tion of the allied troops from the line of the Sambre to the original position on the French frontier. There is no information regarding British casual- ties. "British forces were engaged all day Sunday and until after dark with the enemy in the neighborhood of Mons, Belgium. They held their ground." The London Times said that Na- mur has been taken by the Germans. The Germans claim to have inflicted a severe defeat upon a French army at Neufchateau on Monday. POPE PIUS DIED OF GRIEF Terrible Conflict Being Waged Has- tened Pontiff's End Pope Pius X. died early last Thurs- day morning. He had been ill for several days, but alarming symptoms did not develop until Wednesday. The Pope's , last illness began al- most coincidentally with the great war in Europe.. Those close to hien believe that grief over the situation brought on the final crisis and so over- whelmed him that he was unable in his eightieth year to withstand stilt another attack of Ms old enemy, gouty catarrh. Once toward the end he said; "In ancient times the Pope by a word might have stayed the slaughter, but now he is impotent." Again the dying Pope, in a moment of lucidity, raid: "Now r begin to think the end is approaching and that the Almighty in his inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the hor• rors Europe is undergoing." One of the aged sisters of the Pontiff died of grief the following day, and by a most peculiar coincidence Father Francis Xavier Werner, head of the Jesuit order and known as the "Black Pope," died almost 'the same hour as Pope Pius. RUSSIANS ADVANCING Germans Driven Back and Austrians Defeated .by the Serbs St. Petersburg announced early Monday morning that after six days of desper*,te fighting along a front of thirty miles the Germans hastily re- treated. The Russians have advanced fifty miles into German territory. The Servian war office confirms the report of a sweeping victory over the Austrians in a three days' battle along the banks of the Save and Drina rivers. The Austrians are reported 'to have lost 20,000 men in killed, 'wounded and prisoners. WIVES LET MEN GO "ol.
