ships and the Restoration to
China of German Colony of
Klau-Chau
Tokio.—Japan sent an ultimatum to
Germany at 5 p. m„ Sunday, demand-
ing the witdrawal of warships from
the Orient and the evacuation of Kiau
Chau and giving Germany until Sun-
day, August 23, to comply with the
demand. Otherwise, the ultimatum
states, Japan will take action.
The general expectation here is that
the ultimatum will be followed by war.
Takaaki Kato, Japanese foreign
minister, simultaneously with the dis-
patch of the ultimatum, conferred
with George W. Guthrie, American
'ambassador, and made to him a broad
setatement calculated to assure the
United States that American interests
in the Far East would be safeguarded
and the integrity of China upheld.
Owing to doubts whether communi-
cations with Berlin were insured, Ja-
pan, to insure the arrival of the ulti-
matum, forwarded it to Berlin by six
channels, including Washington, Lon-
dou, and Stockholm. The government

carry out the following two proposi-
tions:
“First—To withdraw immediately
from Japanese ami Chinese waters
German men of war and armed ves-
sels of all kinds and to disarm at
once those which cannot be so with-
drawn.
“Second—To deliver on a date not
later than September 15, to the impe-
rial Japanese authorities without con-
dition or compensation, $he entire
leased territory of Kiau Chau with a
view to the eventual restoration of the
same to China.
“The imperial Japanese government
announces at tlie same time that in
the event of it not receiving by noon
on August 23, 1914, an answer from
the imperial German government sig-
nifying its unconditional acceptance
of the above advice offered by the im-
perial Japanese government, Japan
will be compelled to take such action
as she may deem necessary to meet
the situation."

One of the wittiest occupants of the
Judicial bench In England is Judge
Rentoul. the North-country irishman,
■who presides at the famous court,
known as Old Bailey. The judge
has just been telling another good
story against himself. Once he went
on a political mission to Wales, to
tell the voters what to do He spoke
first, and in English All the subse-
quent speakers, however, used Welsh
as the medium of their thoughts. As
,a matter of policy he applauded
strongly whenever there was a clap
among the audience, although he
-sould not understand a single word
that was said "I learned afterward*,"
said Judge Rentoul. "that every time I
applauded a speaker It was when he
bad paid a strong personal compli-
ment, either to myself or to my
speech.”

At Liege the Germans pre still
