measures which would not be so- complicated as to prove cumber- sore. The Committee has agreed upon the searching of all passen- gers, and the luggage they are allowed access to during the voyage, at the wharf before embarking, and, be an additional precaution, recommends that the orow also be searabed, and that, if necessary, a further search of steamers when lying in the stream be effected.

The European Crisis.

Actual fighting does not appear to have taken place yet, though in yesterday's telegrama it was stated that Austria had begun a blockade of the Montenegrin port of Antivari and to-day's telegrams mention the concentration of Servian troops on her own fron tiera. It is clear that little is required to let slip the doge of war, and it once, war is sot in motion it is quite probable that the dreaded European upheaval will be inevitable. One of the latest telegrams to reach us says that the Powers are actively communicating with a view to averting the war beyond the area primarily concerned. That in itself is bad enough, bat it is a consummation devoutly to be wished when one contemplates the awful,bavoo that will result if a widespread European war breaks.out.

Since writing the above, tele- grama have come to hand in which

it is stated that the Austrians and Servians are active- ly engaged in the vicinity of Belgrade and that German troops are moving in response to a Russian advance towards Wir ballen.

Daily Press.

The Black Outlook.

The immediate outlook is s black as it can be. The fact that Mr. Asquith, who is usually an optimist, informed the House of Commons that the situation is one of extreme gravity, and that he could only usefully say that the Government was not relaxing its efforts to do everything in ita power to oircumscribe the area of possible conflict, is in short an intimation that only by e miracle can Russia, Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain escape being drawn into the war which Austria has now commenced against Servia. The precautions which are being taken by all the Powers against such a dread eventuality add to the elements of the danger. But while the di lomate continue to discuss means of circumscribing the area of possible bonflict, we may continue to hope that Russia will be over- awed by a consideration of the enormous gravity of the cat aclysm in Europe which would inovŁably follow upon her mili. tary intervention in the oɔnflict.
