The War and Business. For the time being business in the East is completely disorganis ed by the war, but there is no cocasion as yet for the extreme pessimism expressed by many basinaka men. The sharp riso which took place in exobange yesterday is an indication of what may be expected if the British Navy continues to fulfil her role of Mistress of the Besa. Mr. Lloyd George has declared that British trade will be main tained at all hazards, which implies that the British Navy will waste no time in driving all mensees to trade from the high Bess. As regards the Far East, the dislocation of sea traffic is expected to be of short duration. The run upon the Bapka, made mostly by nervous natives, is e most foolish proceeding.

The War.

Mr. Asquith's statement in the House of Commons maken it absolutely clear that Great Britain has - joined in the conflict solely because of the fact that Belgium'a neutrality has not been observedy by Germany. It is in eresting to note that Germany bases her not of invasion of Belgian territory on l'absolutely unimpeachablo in- formation" of France'a intention to attack her through "Belgian territory. This may or may not be the case what is certain ia that France had given an as607- Auce to Britain and Belgium that she would not do so, an ebe intended to repect Belgium's neutrality. Germany'e violation means, of ouurse, that she, bag now the allied forces of Belgium, Franco and Great Britain to face in Belgium besides those of thej Busaians on her own frantier. T will be unquestionably a terrific struggle, for Germany's fighting machine is one of very high elliciency, and, numerically, probably stronger than the forces wmbined against her in Belgium We must, therefore, be 10 hour of disasters to, trininpha of, our nf. bur
