War Preparations in Great Britain

A despatch from London dated August 24 declares that there is great activity in Great Britain in preparing for war, and the fear is that the war will come from Germany. We are also told that there are an unusually large number of German male visitors going about alone at places where government stores are located, and these are carefully watched, lest they be spies. It is talked in the leading clubs where the diplomats gather, that certain powerful German leaders are determined to force war to check the advance of Socialism in that empire. More than forty per cent, it is said, of the votes most recently cast in Germany were for Social Democrats.
