That the European war broke with such sud denness that it came as a big- surprise even to the people of the nations now Involved, is the statement of Dr. Frank R. Boyden of this city, who is home from an extended stay across the Atlantic. Dr. Boyden had an eventful time of it before he finally made his way to the United States as a steerage passenger. Dr. Boyden left Germany only a few days before war was declared on Russia and France, and when he left be says there was not a warlike tipple. He was In England when that country declared war on, Germany, and 24 hours before the declaration, he says, there was a general feeling that Great Britain would not be drawn into the conflict. At tha first talk of war, Dr. Boy den booked passage on a Hamburg American liner, and when that line suspended operations, secured passage on a Cunard vessel. That sailing, too. was canceled, and the physician found nimseir witn two ucicets ana ye no prospecta of a Journey home.
