LISBON, At the meeting of the Cortes on August 7th, 1914, three days after the outbreak of war between England and Germany, the Prime Minister, Dr. Bernardino Machado, made a declaration of Portu- guese loyalty to the British Alliance and readiness to give effect to it in any way that Britain might desire. His words were echoed with enthusiasm by all the party leaders and received with approval throughout the country. It was perhaps the first occasion since the foundation of the Republic that all parties had found a point upon which to agree. The assist ance thus generously offered was accepted in the same spirit by the British Govern: mont, and the question of the form the proffered aid should take was left for future examination, as there was no desire to impose too heavy a burden upon the country or expose her to a prema ture rupture with Germany. But the

OPPOSITION TO THE WAR.

· KAISER'S AIM, WORLD DOMINATION, We have no interest in the question of frontiers; we have no stake or concern in the matter of the possession of Con- stantinople or the partition of Asia We are as little concerned with some of the incidental issues of the Great War as was Europe with some phases of the Civil War. But we are interested in the preservation of humanity, of civilisation and of law from the assault. which the Germans have made upon them and the menace which a survival of tho German idea would have for them.

A great effort and great sacrifices are being demanded of the na tion, and the nation would like to know exactly what the situation is and how the Government is dealing with it.

A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, At one moment there was a very real danger that the German object, might be attained. At the beginning of last year the hopeless divisions among the Reput

The in- discreet and provocative attitude of the Monarchists themselves revealed this policy before it was ripe, and General de Castro and his Government were swept away by the coup d'Etat of May 14th, 1915. The Democrats, Evolutionists, and Unionists came into power as a National Government under Bonher d'Almeida, with Dr. Costa as his right had man, arid resumed the former war policy; but the German and Monarchist intrigues con- tinued and the general unrest increased.
