Information reaches me from an army source that the Britannic land forces are mobilizing to the last man including territorials and that an expeditionary force will be sent to the Continent. Immense crowds are marching the streets to-night in the region of the War Office and the Parliament buildings. The prevailing opinion is that the British Government will be in the war very quickly.
