shielding Criminals Through Fear

The murder Of RAFF. the poultry
dealer, which at first threatened to
present great difficulties 10 the police
through the fears of all who might
throw light upon II, has taken a more
promising turn. The dead mans son
and others have furnished theory of
the case which. however startling
seems TO At the facts. Various hints
which. II not evidence, are AT least
guides to investigation have come in
from various directions, and ii now
looks as II the crime might be properly
punished.
In all such eases tho most serious
obstruction to the police is tn" foolish
terror which prevents the friends OF
the yictlms--in non-fatnl cases, the vie
tins themselves from telling every.
thing they know. This Is true Of the
blackmall bomb cases. the child stealing
cases, murders for vengeance, horse
poisoning and many arson cases In
which the Detective Bureau never gets
even fair start although the identity
OF the criminals Is known as a moral
certainty to scores OF people.
Nothing can be more foolish or
wicked than this form of pandering to
crime. Good citizenship requires that
all possible aid he given 10 the authOri
ties even nj personal risk. But as II
mntter Of fact the more complete the
help given the police the less is tho
danger. Rlackmall and nsSl Ssination

JAPAN DEMANDS THAT
GERMANY LEAVE ASIA

Toxic, Japan.-Japan sent an ulti-
matum to Germany, demanding the
withdrawal of German warships from
the Orient and the evacuation of Kiau-
Chau, and giving Germany until Sun
day, Aug. 20, to comply with the de-
mand. Otherwise, the ultimatum
states, Japan will take action.
The general expectation here is that
the ultimatum will be followed by
war.
Takaaki Kato, the Japanese foreign
minister simultaneously with the dis
patch Of the ultimatum conferred with
George w. Guthrie, the American am
bassador and made to him a broad
statement calculated to assure the
United States that American interests
In the far east would be safeguarded
and the integrity of China upheld.
Owing to the doubts whether COM
munications with Berlin were assured,
Japan, to Insure the arrival of the ulti-
matum, forwS "ded 1t to Berlin by six
channels, including Washington, Lon
don and Stockholm. The govern
ment also notified Count Won Rex,
German ambassador to Japan, and
likewise retarded the time limit for
reply until Aug. %.

TERMS YF ULTIMATUM;
DATE OF FULFiLLMENT

Count Okuma, the Japanese pre-
mier, invited the peers the newspaper
men and the leading business men of
at and O'Clock In the afternoon,
respectively, when he made known
to them the terms of the ultimtaum
and announced he would give out the
negotiations in connection with the
alliance.
The ultimatum follows:
We consider it highly important
and necessary in the present situation
to take measures to remove the causes
of all disturbances of the peace in
the far east and to safeguard the gen.
eral interests as contemplated by the
agreement of alliance between Japan
and Great Britain.
In order to secure a firm and en-
during peace in Eastern Aasia, the
establishment of which is the aim of
the said agreement, the imperial Jap
anese government sincerely believes
it to be its duty to give the advice to
imperial German government to carry
out the following two propositions:
First-To withdraw Immediately
from Japanese and Chinese waters
German men-of-war and armed ves-
sells of all kinds, and to disarm at
once those which cannot be with
drawn.
Second-To deliver on a date not
later than Sept Is to the imperial
Japanese authorities, without condi-
tion or compensation, the entire ter
ritory of Kiau-Chau, with a view to
the eventual restoration of the same
to China. :.
The imperial Japanese government
announces at the same time that, in
the event of it not receiving by noon
on Aug. %. 1914, an answer from the
imperial German government signify
ing its unconditional acceptance of
the above advice ordered by the i'm.
perial Japanese government, Japan
will be compelled to take such action
as she may deem necessary to meet
the situation.

FRENCH REPORT GERMAN
ROUT: ALLIES ADVANCE

Paris.-The following official state
ment was issued:
"a forward movement has devel-
oped all along the front from Recni-
court Rixingen), in Lorraine, II miles
southwest of Saarebourg, to Sainte
Marie-Aux-Mines. We carried the lat
ter and advanced into the region Of
Saint Blaise.
1.-THE French troops. who occupied
Donan, continued to advance, their
progress being especially rapid in the
Schirmeck Valley.
1--WE have taken 1000 prisoners in
addition to the 500 captured Friday.
Large quantities of equipment were
abandoned by the Germans; we have
captured this also. We pushed as far
as Lorquin Height, capturing con-
voy belonging to a cavalry division,
consisting of 10 automobiles and lor-
ries.
"The Germans attacked Dinant.
Their force consisted of guard di-
vision and the first cavalry division,
supported by several battalions Of in
fantry and machine-gun companies.
When these forces appeared on the
left bank, the French attacked with
great vigor and dash. The Germans
soon gave way and recrossed the
Meuse in great disorder. Many, who
failed to reach the bridge, slipped
down the steep bank, fell into the
swift river and were drowned.
