Entrance of France Into War
By President Poincare and Premier Viviani.
Proclamation Issued to the People of France by President Poincare, Paris, Aug. 1.

At this hour most of the nations have mobilized their forces.
Some countries, even though protected by neutrality, have thought it right to take this step as a precaution.
