New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-08-19

Toxic, Aug. 18.-The government
is preparing for war. The fleet is
manned ready for action.
The army has been made ready and
several corps are prepared to 60 on
board the transports, which are fully
provisioned and have steam up.
There is no doubt here that the
ultimatum delivered to Germany will
be denied and that immediate hostili-
ties will follow.
The ultimatum, which has been
transmitted to Berlin, demands the
withdrawal of German warships from
the Orient, or if not withdrawn they
be interned for the war, and the
evacuation of Kiaochou.
1t gives Germany until Sunday, Aug.
%, to begin such withdrawal and un:
til Sept. Is to actually comply with
the demand.
After the ultimatum was sent
George w. Guthrie, the American am
bassador, was summoned to the pal
ace by the Japanese foreign minister
Takaaki Kato, and the situation wa,
presented to him.
He was told the action of the Japa
nese government was in the interest
of peace in the Orient.
Trading Vessels in Danger.
The governments position, Guthrie
was informed, was that the presence
of German warships in Far Eastern
waters and the maintenance there o.
a German base is detrimental tt
peace in the Orient, inasmuch as trad
ing vessels are always in danger O
| capture by the Germans.
Guthrie was asked to emphasize tt
his own government that Japan hat
| no territorial designs herself. TIL
| territorial colonies she desires turnet
back to China
The foreign minister gave the mos
profuse assurances of Japan's friend
ship to the United States and decla1
ed that under no circumstances will
anything be permitted that would il
any way offend the government of tn
| United States.
Owing to doubts whether communj
cation with Berlin was assured ia
pan, in order to insure the arrival Q
the ultimatum, forwarded it to Bel
lin by six channels, including Wash
ington, London and Stockholm TIL
government also notified Count vo
Reed, German ambassador to Japa1
and likewise retarded the time limi
for reply until Aug. %.

Some Useful Trees.

From the Brazilian piassata is OBJ
tanned the street broom material eX.
ported to every part of the world where
streets are kept clean. In the bread
fruit the natives obtain an excellent
article of food.
The tree is large attaining a height
of fifty or sixty feet and in the Pacific
the fruit is used as we use bread, the
tree, in fact, being the baker of the
islanders.
If tree produces bread, so called
we should not be surprised to find one
that gives milk. and such one was
discovered by Baron Won Humboldt in
South America. 1t was called the palo
de vaca by the natives, or Cow tree"
and when the bark was pierced. the
sap that looked and tasted like milk
ran out in a clear stream, forming a
delicious and nutritious food.
The tree is variety of evergreen
very common in the higher regions of
Venezuela, and the milk not only looks
ike that of the COW, but tastes like it,
and the discovery was considered SO
valuable that attempts have been made
to transplant it, though without sue
cess.

SERIOUSLY
injured Was Edgar BlOCheF
lin This City
When Automobile Struck A
Motorcycle
The injured Man May Have
Fractured Skull

In a motorcycle and automobile col
lisiOn on South Main street Sunday
evening, Edgar Blocher Of Dayton was
probably seriously injured and Clifford
Blocher of this city was injured, but
not seriously. The accident took place
at the corner of Main and Vine streets
about O'Clock.
The two men were riding on the
motorcycle and we're going north on
Main street. They were on the east
side of the street. An automobile.
owned by Fredericktown man, was
going south on the west side but
turned quickly into East Vine street
and struck the smaller machine, Beth
men on the latter were thrown a dis
tance of several feet and struck the
pavement heavily. Edgar Blocher was
badly injured, but his compaion es-
oapea with only slight cut and
bruises upon his face. The injured
man, was moved Immediately to the
Mt Vernon hospital in Millers' ambu.
lance where physicians were called to
attend him. An examination revealed
that Concussion of the brain had re-
suited and tits believed possible that
there may be slight fracture of the
skull. This, however, has not been
definitely determined upon. A rather
deep scalp wound was inflicted at the
base of the skull.
Although the injured man did not
lose consciousness at any time, he ap.
peared 10 be very drowsy This was
caused by the concussion. Just what
the outcome OF the injuries will be
Is not known, but they will not neces-
sarily result fatally.
Edgar Blocher resides in Dayton
and was mint Vernon visiting with
relatives over Sunday.
The accident happened very quickly
and there was no possible waJ for the
two men to escape, According to
statements made by persons who wit.
messed it, the automobile turned east
on Vine street very near to the corner
curb and did not describe a wide turn
at the corner as is provided for in
the traffic ordinance

Robbins tho Crabs.

In some of the islands of the Malay
archipelago and neighboring countries
the cocoanut husk is obtained in Gu
riOus manner. An enormous crab is
found there that lives on the fruit,
climbing the trees and tearing them
off, either hurling them down or break
ing them by tearing of the husk and
then beating them against the rocks
with its huge claws,
The husk that the crabs take from
the fruit they carry to their holes at
the foot OF the trees and make bed
OF it and. knowing this, the Malays
visit and rob the crabs once or twice
year, using the husk to weave into
mats.
