The task has been a stupendous one, and for four years the vigil has been kept day and night to keep the enemy within his own territorial waters. England entered the war in behalf of the liberties of the world and in defense of the veaKer nations. There was no trouble between England Eng-land and Germany. The fact has been stated that Germany tried to keep Britian out of the war, as Germany Ger-many knew well the strength of the British navy, and what she would have to combat. Next Sunday has been designated as British day in Utah, according to the proclamation of Governor Bamberger Bam-berger issued last Saturday.
