Toyho, Aug. 1G.-Japan sent an ul-
timatum to Germany Saturday night,
demanding withdrawal OF German
warships from the Orient and the
evacuation of Kiau Chau and giving
Germany until Sunday. August 23. to
comply with the demand. Otherwise,
the ultimatum states, Japan will take
action.
The general expectation here is that
the utimatum 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
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 doubts whether commu-
nicatiOn with Berlin were assured
Japan to insure the arrival Of the ulti
matum forwarded to Berlin by six
channels, including Washington, Lon
don and Stockholm. The government
also notified Count Won Rex, German
ambassador to Japan, and likewise
retarded the time limit for a reply
until August %.
