Washington. - The Japanese en-
bassy announced here Saturday night
that no answer had been received in
Toxic relative to the ultimatum is
sued week ago by Japan to the
Kaiser.
A high Japanese diplomat said that
the next heard on the question would
be the booming of big guns outside
of Kiao Chow.
The time limit to answer the re-
quest. demanding that the Chinese ter
ritory of Kiao Chow, held by Germany,
be Internationally surrendered and
German cruisers now in far eastern
waters be disarmed, expired at 10
O'Clock Saturday night eastern time,
or noon Sunday, Toxic time.
As that hour approached, state de-
partment and diplomatic officials here
were watching for a possible reply
from Germany to be transmitted to
Toxic through American channels.
1t is now regarded as certain that
no formal declaration of war will be
made. 1t is known that the Emperor
he did not expect the Kaiser to COM
ply with his demands The Japanese
fleet and army are ready for action.
Baron Chinda, japanese ambassador
to the United States, transmitted
through the State Department Satur-
day message to Mr.. Fonikosha, the
Japanese charge d'affaires at Berlin,
ordering him to leave the German cap
ital at n. m. Sunday If by that hour
he had received no reply from the
German government to the ultimatum.
The Japanese charge was instructed
to leave the interests of Japan in the
hands of the American embassy at
Berlin.
The next step on the part of the
Japanese government, it was generally
assumed here, would be an attack on
kiao Chow.
At the Japanese embassy it was re-
iterated that Japan would carry out
to the letter the terms of her ulti-
matum. The United States, in the
rGle Of an interested but neutral spec
tator. was prepared to transmit any
communications

CROCERS WITHDRAW
REMOVAL DEMAND
Reconsider Attempt to Obtain
Dismissal of Commissioner
Helme

Acting on the belief that they may
have been too hasty In asking the re.
moval, OF State Dairy and Food Com.
missioner James He;me. the Detroit
Retail Grocers. Tuesday. sent tele.
gram to Gov. Ferris recalling the re.
quest.
At the same time Mr.. Helme was
invited to address their organization
at q meeting Monday night, at which
time he will be asked to give HIS
views on the seizure OF short-weight
measures and other alters that have
aroused the ire Of the grocers. They
also wish to understand why Helme
kept In his employ inspectors whom
the grocers declared 10 be incompe-
tent and who were discharged after
arrest for graft"
II IL believed Mr.. Helme will &C.
cept the invitation and will be able to
show that he has acted In the interest
OF the state and has made the best
possible Of dificult situation.
Having his attention called TO the
movement Of the Retail Grocers' as
sociation. asking the removal Of Mr..
Helme. Edward Frensdorf, OF Hud.
son. had this to say:
"Mr. Helme and live In the same
county and have been neighbors and
friends for great many years, and
never have heard Of his honesty
and integrity being questioned, and |
do not think that any fair-minded
man can charge Mr.. Helme with lack
OF interest In his department or abil-
ity to all the position as well as any
man In Michigan. What seems to be
political expsdiency on the part of
the administration, has thrown the
patronage OF Wayne county into a
most disreputable hand.
mr.. Helme has said that he had
nothing to do with the selection of
the three crooks that were given po-
sitions In his department from
Wayne county. and know him well
enough TO assure the public Their
appointment was the work OF the
league and In q fair
sample OF the kind OF men they see
At to recognize. as they rely upon
men of this class for the political
prestige that they now hold.
IF the Retail Grocers' association
and other good citizens wish to ac-
complish anything towards Kidding
the public OF such crooks as these
three inspectors have confessed them
selves to me, they should do all In
their power to put the vote-Swap-
pers' league out of political existence.
mr.. Helme may suffer in the eyes
OF the public because these hold-up
men were caught Ia his department
but we who have known Mr.. Helme
these many years. will not permit
this incident to cast any reflection
upon him personally or lessen our
confidence In his honesty and pur-
pose" a.
