fered by the imperial Japanese gov
eminent, Japan will be compelled to
take such action as she may deem
necessary to meet the situation"
Japan's Reasons for Acting.
Inspired utterances express regret
at the inability to maintain neu-
trality, but say that Great Britain.
the ally of Japan, is compelled to de-
fend herself against the aggressions
of Germ any. Moreover. it is pointed
out that Germany is making prepara-
tions day and night at Kiau-Chau
where it is storing provisions, while
It's warships are securing the seas Of
eastern Asia to the great detriment of
commerce, and that its converted
cruisers are Selling English mer-
chant vessels. Such actions, it is
argued, are directly calculated to dis
turb the JeGce of eastern Asia and
accordingly, after full and frank
c9mmuni "a ION with britain, Japan
has found herself compelled to send
an ultimatum to Germany.
Censorship Is Arranged.
That the Japan war office expects
the terms of the ulUimatum will not
be complied with is indicated by the

left to the imagination
Six corps. three German and three
Austrian, and from $4,000 to 10000
cavalry are probably advancing to
wards Brest-Litovosk BY the time
these arrive there II is difficult to see
how the Russians can have more than
three full corps and 10000 to 10000
cavalry. Austrian troops have ad
vanced along the eastern frontier that
Is just north of Roumania
II seems probable that on the
French frontier at the present time
Germany has nine corps OF the active
army, assisted by one Austrian corps
on the German extreme left, near the
Swiss border, There probably are
nine more corps OF the first reserve
and nine more of the second reserve
also on the French frontier, which
with all their auxiliaries amount TO
we'll over 100000 fighting men.
II appears that IL these million Ger

pretty goodly number of attackers to
get them out Of their intrenchments. If
they ever can do It. Providing Aus

Japan and Great Britain.
"In order to secure a firm and en-

ENCOUNTER.
vANGuARDs IN CONTACT
Battle Near Namur, Belgium, Report
ed by Official Paris Dispatch
French Forces Occupy Strong
Positions in Mountains.

London, Aug. 17.-Despite the re-
ported repulses which they have suf-
fered, the German battalions con-
tinue to move forward for a decis-
i've encounter.
While there has been lulI in the
fighting in northern Belgian, the in
vaders are sweeping along the valley
of the Meuse, south of Namur and
have reached Dinant, where part of
a strong French force, which is es-
tablished behind that town, took the
offensive and defeated them. The
incident shows that the French
crossed the Belgian frontier to join
hands with their allies not a moment
too soon.
Vanguards in Contact.
All along the Alsace-Lorraine from
tier, the advance guards of the two
opposing armies have come into con-
tact. Strong French forces are now
in possession of all the passes of the
Vosges mountains, from the west as
far as those leading down to Colmar

ters of war, the main armies have
not come into contact.
Paris Reports Fighting.
Paris, Aug. 17.-An official com
munication issued by the war office
says:
Belgian and German troops were
reported to be fighting on Sunday
near Dinant, to the south OF Namur,
Belgium. French troops also were
in the vicinity.
cover 500 German soldiers were
taken prisoners by the French when
they occupied a number of mountains
in the vicinity of DEM or Rougemont,
on the border of German Lorraine on
Friday.
The Dutch troops in the Neither
lands provinces of North Brabant
and Limburg are showing discomfort
against the Germans, whom they ac-
cuse of being responsible for the ac-
tual situation. The Dutch officers
are finding difficulty in controlling
their men"
Britain and Austria at War
London, Aug. 14.-Dfplomatic rela.
tons between Great Britain and Aus
tria-Hungary were formally broken off
on Thursday, and state of war was
declared to exist beginning at mid.
night At the same time, the text of
the declaration of war between France
against Austria, which was transmit.
ted on Monday. was made public in
Paris.
The fact that Great Britain deferred
her declaration of war against Aus
tria until now is believed to Indicate
that she meant to utilize the delay to
get her Mediterranean feet ready for
action, and an attack upon the Aus
trian ships as we'll as the Austrian
port of Pola may now be expected any
minute Reports from Italy indicate
that the combined English and French
fleets are ready to engage the Aus
trian. who are said to have taken up
position near Pola.

The Chicago Title & Trust Co., with
assets of $S,000,000, backed by the
most powerful financial and real es-
tate interests of Chicago, was named
by Joseph F. Connery, county re-
corder, in his argument before three
circuit judges today, as using the Bu-
reau of Public Efficiency toward get
ting complete control of the business
of writing real estate abstracts in
Cook county.
Judges Kersten, Seaman and Glib
bons are to decide whether Connery
will be granted the 81 extra men he |
has called for in his department or
whether attention will be paid to the
recommendation of Harris Keller, |
head of the efficiency bureau, that |
Connery can, get along with ten men. |
The judges have refused to accept
the bureaus report and include it in |
the record. 1t has been thrown out |
on the ground that it is not thorough /
nor specific in its facts and criti-
cisms.
A Daily News editorial of Wednes-
day. which practically told the judges
what their decision ought to be, was
criticised by Judge Scanlan, who said
the court had been much concerned |
over this editorial in the Daily News
which attempts to anticipate the
judgment of the court" Seaman in
dicated that it should not happen
again.
One of Connery's main points of
defense was that the Torrens system
of title registration as run by the
county recorders office is blocking
the Chicago Title & Trust Co.'s way
to a monopoly and profits of millions
of dollars. A delegation of real es-
tate men from the Cook County Real
Estate Board, who want to see the
Torrens system put through to. a sue
cess, were in court,

recorders Office will go back to the
very beginning of title, trace it
down and then issue certificate that
will stand in any court of law in the
nation. Whenever that piece of prop
erty is sold and changes hands after
ward it costs only So at the county
Office to make the transaction.
when the TorTens system has run
25 years in this county it will put the
Chicago Title & Trust Co. out of bust
ness, provided the present rate of in
crease in registrations continues.
From 20 transfers in 1899, the, Tor
rens system has grown till this year
there have been 3,S40. The applica-
tons for initial registration have in
creased from 257 to GIG.
81 charge that Harris Keller is
working directly in the interest of the
Chicago Title & Trust Co. and that he
is trying to cripple the county's alb
stract plant and to kill the Torrens
system for the direct benefit of the
Chicago Title & Trust Co., which is
the abstract trust. With the coun-
tvs abstract plant out of the way, the
monopoly of the Chicago Title &
Trust Co. becomes complete. With
out an efficient county abstract plant,
the whole system of TorTens registra-
ton is dead and more business than
ever will go into the hands of the
monopoly"
Connery pointed to the difference
in oh hry hn nd
the outside company. For first GER
tificate, the county charge is So as
against S. by the private company.
For each deed or instrument covered
in an abstract, the county fee is 81
as against $3.50 by the company.
The Chicago Title & Trust Co. is a
merger of all local abstract writing
companies. 1t was organized in 1903.
