Peace of Asia in PERIL

Peace of Asia in Peril.
rectly calculated to disturb the peace
of eastern Asia, and accordingly. after
full and frank communication with
Britain. Japan has found herself com
PEELED to send an ultimatum to Ger
many.
The Japanese war office summoned
all newspaper men at l o'clock Sun
day afternoon in order that they might
receive instructions in regard to the
publication of news in the event of a
state of war coming into force.
The newspaper Jill Shimpo, which
is usually we'll informed, in an extra
gives some additional details of the
Japanese ultimatum to Germany. 1t
was forwarded Saturday night, accord
ing to the Jill and, besides demanding
the turning over of Kiao-chau to ia
pan pending it's return to China, asked
that the Germany warships in far
eastern waters be disarmed and the
forts in Kiao-chau dismantled. Ger
many is also requested to withdraw all
her warships from the China sea.
Creates Great Impression.
The text of the Japanese ultimatum
has created a profound impression, al
though 1t had been predicted that
Japan was making ready to participate
in the war.
Count Okuma and Minister Kato ad-
dressed meetings of merchants, mem
bers of parliament and others, and
counseled calm attitude. They
declared that Japan had no ambition
for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
In reply to a question propounded
by a merchant, the foreign minister
unequivocally denied reports that the
United States had interfered in any
way in the situation. and. he added,
the United States was not likely to.
Later, he said. the American govern
ment would be fully informed as to
the Japanese position.
Japan's UItimatum to Germany.
I'VE 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 Asia, the es-
of which is the aim of the
said agreement, the imperial Japanese
government sincerely believes it to be
its duty to give the advice to the i'm
perial German government to carry
out the following two propositions:
"First-To withdraw Immediately |
from Japanese and Chinese waters |
German men-of-war and armed vessels !
Of all kinds and to disarm at once |
hose which cannot be so Withdrawn. |
"Second-To deliver on date not |
ater than Sept 10 to imperial Japan
ese authorities, without condition or
the entire leased terri
-ory of Kiaochau, with a view to the
eventual restoration of the same TO
China.
THE imperial Japanese government
announces at the same time that, In
he event of il not receiving by noon
IN Aug. %, 1914, an answer from the
government signifying its I'M
acceptance of the above
.dvice offered by the imperial Japan
,se government, Japan will be COM
'elled to take such action as she may
.eem necessary to meet the situation"

change of letters has taken place be-
tween the American ConsulGeneral
and the Lord of Dresden, according to
Dresden newspapers received here
Consul General of the United States,
Dresden:
1T has come to our knowledge that
not few members of the American
colony in Dresden have entered the
service of the Red Cross. At our rec
ent general meeting we passed a reso-
luton expressing to these members
of the American colony the special
thanks of the council of the city of
Dresden for their high-minded atti-
tude.
I'VE request the highly esteemed
consul general to kindly forward our
resolution to the members of the col
ony concerned, and We grasp this op-
portunity to assure you that the city
Authorities will also do everything in
order to render the stay of the Ameri-
can colony in Dresden during the war
as comfortable as possible"
The American Consul General sent
the following reply:
Dear Mr.. Lord Mayor:
81 had the honor to receive your
communication containing the infor-
nation that the council of Dresden
learned that various members of the
American colony were engaged in max
ing things for the Red Cross society
and that at meeting of the city coun-
Gil it was resolved to express to the
American colony in Dresden the citys
thanks for it's interest in this charitable
work. You had the kindness to re-
quest me to convey to the members of
the colony this resolution of the coun-
ell of Dresden
81 shall not fail to inform my com
patriots of your kind letter and will
also take the liberty of sending a copy
of the resolution to the State Depart
ment at Washington.
Il take this opportunity to express
to you, my dear Mr.. Lord Mayor, and
through you to the other members of
the council of the city of Dersden,
my sincerest appreciation of the ex-
traordinary courtesies which the city
authorities and the inhabitants OF
Dresden have shown to the Americans
here. Not only have they been treated
with the greatest friendliness but |
have also heard from British and
French subjects who are soiournins
here, of the more than magnanimous
treatment which has been accorded
them, and which they will neS or forget.
Many hotels and boarding houses have
permitted a great number of them to
remain without paying, after having
promised to settle the matter on Their
return home.
81 remain, my dear Mr. Lord Mayor
and members of the City Council, with
best respects, Yours truly,
"Lee Allen Bergholz."
