THE EUROPEAN WAR NO BATTLE YET! FIGHTING IMMINENT. AWFUL EXCITEMENT. RUSSIA SIDES WITH PRUSSIA! ENGLAND NEUTRAL!! AUSTRIA NOT ARMING. BERLIN, Wednesday. No battle has been fought yet. However, all thoughtful men feel that the land may be drenched with blood before the Summer is over. There is an awful excitement here over the rumour that two companies of Prussian troops have concentrated on the border. German confidence remains unshaken!! There is news to the effect that Russia espouses the cause of Prussia and will bring 4,000,000 men to the field. England proclaims strict neutrality. The report that Austria is arming needs confirmation. ......................... Third Day THE EUROPEAN WAR |
