England and the War.
Though it is not, so far, officially announced that Great Britain is actively engaged in the war, the eigas and portents are such that she will be so engaged in a very short space of time. It is officially. announced that the British Army will be mobilised at midnight to- aight, and though that in itself is not tantamount to a declaration
of war, it is nevertheless, an indication that we are prepared for any emergency that might
unexpectedly arise. Such an
emergency will arise if the neutrality of Belgium or Holland (which je threatened by Germany at present) is infringed. Britain cannot and will not remain inactive in such circum- etances, nor shall she remain

Belgium and Italy. In arriving at her decision, Italy was undoubtedly moved by the recent incidents in Albania which were so acute as to serious ly threaten the good relations. be tween Austria-Hungary and her Italian ally, but the prime mover in her recent declaration must be the assistance given her by France 1859 when the French troops were no small factor in ex- pelling the Austriansfrom Italy - services which were recognised by the voluntary session to France of Savoy, Nice and Corsics, the people having voted for the change by universal suffrage. Re- membering the help Napoleon III rendered when Austria declared war over Sardinis against the few scattered atatee which sub- sequently became the Kingdom of Itály, it is not unreasonable to euppose that, given the choice, Italy would prefer to throw her lot in with Latins to whom she is indebted rather than with the Teutons whose yoke so much blood was spilt to cast off

Sir Edward Grey's Statement.
Sir Edward Grey's lucid state- ment sets at rest all doubts as to what part England is to play in the War in Europe. The fact cannot be too strongly emphasised that at present England is not at war with Germany or any other Power, Ber forces are now mobilised and she is ready for war, but Sir Edward Grey makes it clear that she will remain merely a spectator of events so long as neither French shipping nor the Northern cosats of France are attacked by Germany and so long as Germany respects the independence of Belgium who has declared her neatrality, These do not seem onerous Or vexatious conditions, and though Germany appears at present indisposed to give a pledge that ber forces will not break into Belgium, we may not unreason ably conclude from her willing Dess to restore the integrity of Belgium after the war, if ahe invades that Kingdom, that the Gorman Government will do Sta utmost to avoid moving troops through Belgia territory now that it is definitely known that this will most certainly bring about the immediate intervention of the British forces.
