BRITAIN'S OBLIGATIONS
FAMOUS JOURNALIST'S VIEWS.
(Received Aucust 4:h, 12.15 a.m.) "LONDON, August 3. Sir Valentine Chirol, until recently Director of tho Foreign Department of "The Times,'' says in a letter to "The Timos" that at this supreme juncture thero is ono consideration to which wo are bound to give full weight. The-en-tente has above all caused the (revival within the last ton years of Germany's aggressive hostility towards Frar.ee. So long as Geraan diplomiicy could play off France against England, Germany was content. Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson, formerly Finance Member of the Council of India, says Russia has deliberately undertaken war in defence of Servi-i, whose quarrel is not her own. Thus France is morally relieved of her obligation to assist her. Ho declares that intervention is not worth the life of a single British Grenadier. Britain's interests arc too worldwide? to be jeopardised by a remote European quarrel.
