The Daily Colonist, August 2, 1914

News out of Victoria 100 years ago:
- News of "yesterday's" declaration of war against Russia by Germany has made it out to our little Imperial backwater.
- Germany invades Luxembourg
- For the first time the German emperor is referred to as "Kaiser" (on page two).
- Prime Minister Borden expects the British Empire to declare war before the day is out. The Militia Department is being kept open (Aug. 2, 1914 was a Sunday).
- The Colonist announces that it has set up a "full cable service" to receive updates and will begin issuing Monday editions to report on developments in Europe (at this point the Colonist is a morning paper delivered Tuesday through Sunday).
