Japan Enters The War

Japan Enters Ihe War
Toxic, Aug. 1880 p. m.-
Japan sent an ultimatum to Ger
many Saturday night at So'clock
demanding the withdrawal of
German warships from the ORR
ent and the evacuation of Kiau
Chau and giving Germany until
Sunday, August %, to comply
with the demand. Otherwise, the
ultlmatum states, Japan will
take action.
Kiau-Chau, from which Japan
has demanded the withdrawal
OF Germany, is a town on the
penlnsular of Shan -Tung, China,
leased with adjoining territory
by Germany in 1898 and soon
afterwards made a protectorate.
lhe German territory has an
area of about 200 square miles.
Germany also controls an ex-
tended waterfront. Using Tau,
the seaport in the territory con.
trolled by Germany is strongly
fortified.
The general expectation here
is that the ultimatum will be
followed by war.
The ultimatum follows:
I'VE consider it highly import
ant and necessary in the present
situation TO take measures to
remove the causes of all disturb
ances of the peace in the Far
East and to safeguard the
general interests as contemplate
ed by the agreement of the
alliance between Japan and
Great Britain.
I'm order to secure a firm and
enduring peace in eastern Asia,
the establishment of which is
the aid of the said agreement the
Japan Imperial Government
believes it to be its duty to give
the advice to the Imperial
German Government to carry
out the following tWo-~Bropo-
Sltions.
First-To withdraw Immedia-
tely from Japanese and Chinese
waters German men-of-war and
armed vessels of all kinds and to
d1sarm at once those which can.
not be so withdrawn.
"Second-To deliver on date
not later than September Is to
the Imperial Japanese authorities
without condition the entire
leased territory cf Kiau- Chau
with a view to the eventual
restoration of the same to
China.
"Third-The Imperial Japanese
Government announces at the
same time that in the event of it
not receiving by noon on Aug
ust 23, 1914, an answer from the
Imperial German Government
slgnifying its unconditional
acceptance of the above advice
offered by the Imperial Japanese
Government Japan will be com,
PEELED to take such action as she
may deem necessary to meet the
situation"

Hold For Twelve And a Half
Cents

Washington, Aug. 14.-The
Southern Cotton congress, after
indorsing various plans for the
relief of the crisis of the cotton
market resulting from the
European war, concluded its
sessions here tonight. The con-
gress authorized various COM,
mittees to cooperate with the
federal and State authorities in
their efforts to enable the cotton
growers to weather the financial
storm and secure a fair price for
the present cotton crop.
After indorsing the work so
far done by the Southern repre-
senatives in congress in the mat
ter of furnishing transportation
for the export trade and provid-
ing currency to finance the crop,
the congress indorsed a bill
introduced in the house by
Representative Wingo of Arkan-
sas, authorizing the issuance of
federal reserve notes on cotton.
Later the report from the
resolutions committee was
adopted outlining a plan to meet
the entire situation. This pro.
vided for the appointment of a
committee of five members to
cooperate with congress, the
treasury department and the fed.
eral reserve board to seek means
of Financing and marketing the
crop, without unnecessary loss
to the farmers"
The report recommended that
all growers hold cotton of the
present crop for the price of
IL IL cents a pound, based on
middling cotton.
1t urged the federal reserve
board and the secretary of the
treasury to place $3OO,OO0,OOO in
the banks of the South on the
basis of the cotton production III
each State. H then proposed
that every farmer should have
the right to 60 to his lank and
secure a loan on notes maturing
in six months but renewable for
six months, secured by his cot
ton on onehalf of the crop he
raised, to 80 per cent. of the val
ue>of the cotton based on the
average price for the last five
years.
These notes, the report recon-
mended, should be made redis-
countable in the federal reserve
banks.
AS originally presented, the
report recommended that the
notes contained a stipulation that
the farmer would raise only half
of a normal crop in 1915, and if
the war was still in progress on
April 1, should raise only one
quarter of his crop, thus holding
down the 1915 production to
prevent a glut, caused by carry
ing over this years surplus
A vigorous discussion resulted
in striking out this provision and
recommended only that the
farmer be urged to cut down
his crop without stipulation in
the proposed notes. The report
recommended that tobacco and
other crops should be handled
IN the same way, in the discre.
tlon of the reserve board.
President E. ]. Watson was
authorized TO appoint a commit
tee to take up the question of
providing warehouses to store
such of the crop as will be held
over until next year.

CUT WEEDS UNDER PENALTY
If Property Owners Fail to Heed Call City Will
Do Work and Assess Cost

In the following message to the
council, Mayor Geo. F. Richard
son outlines the course the adj
ministration intends to follow in
Kidding the city of noxious weed
growths:
THE statute makes it unlaw-
full for noxious weeds to be al
lowed to ripen and seed.
It makes it the duty of the city
marshal to cause to be cut and
DESTROYED all such weeds growing
in the streets and alleys within
the city, and to give notice to all
owners of property within the
city wherein is growing any nox-
ious weeds, requiring such own
ers to destroy all such weeds
within ten days from the notice
served; and in case of refusal or
neglect to comply with such no
tice with the law, then it becomes
the duty Of the marshal under
penalty to cause to be cut and
destroyed all such weeds, and to
charge the expense to the proper
ty. In case the owner does not
pay the bill within thirty days
after it is rendered. the same
shall be payed by the city and
when certified by the mayor and
clerk to the county treasurer shall
be entered by him as a tax against
the property and subject to collec-
ton the same as other taxes.
There are miles Of noxious
weeds within the city in the
streets and alleys, and consider
able help will be required to cut
them all before thew ripen and
seed. The sooner the early ma
turing weeds are cut, the less will
be the expense, because they will
cut easier than after they become
hardened and dried by ripening.
Il advise that the marshal be
authorized to employ sufficient
help to comply with the law for
the destruction of noxious weeds
within the city. Neglected weeds
when ripe and dry will be a seri-
Gus menace for originating and
communicating fires"

LIQUOR BUSINESS
FINE SINCE EU-
GENE is "DRY''
Southern Pacific Shipments Indicate
How Normal Demand is Still Met.

EUGENE.-The Committee OF One
Hundred, together with other prohibi-
tion organizations, boasts that Eugene,
the seat of the University of Oregon,
is one of their "model" dry towns.
And they say "business is fine' there.
Investigation proves that in the uni
versity city at least one form of bust
ness is good = the mail order liquor
business.
From January TO October ! this
year, the Southern Pacific alone has
shipped into dry Eugene from outside
points:
1,342 barrels of beer,
s. cases of liquor,
SO kegs of liquor
q barrels of liquor.
This is enough liquor to stock one
busy saloon for year.
Doubtless similar amounts have been
sent in by the Oregon Electric Rail
way. and by the several express com
panies operating within the city. The
records do not show the amounts in
each keg, case or barrel, but the fig
ures in any event indicate that there
has been vast amount of liquor con
sumed in "dry" Eugene from which
the city has received no license re
turns at all.
The Committee of One Hundred says
"business is fine in dry towns" but
it has failed to specify the kind OF
business Official records at Eugene
the home of the state university, where
hundreds of young men and women &c
from all parts Of the state, speak fol
themselves.

How to practice to become first

how to learn the newest strokes in
swimming-these and a hundred
other topics of the greatest interest
to boys-to girls, too, for that matter
are touched upon in this important

HOOD RIVER DRUG STORES FIND
BUSINESS Is FINE"
Groa1 Jur7 in Dry Town Says Too
Much liquor SC.d-Raps Doctors.

Hood River is one Of the dry
toE.ss that the Committee of One
Eundred hasn't said anything about.
But business is lire" there too, es-
pecially in tie drug stores. The Oc-
to5er grand jury spent some days
looking irto the matter, and reported
on it. In fac; about all the grand
jury did was 10 probe the liquor sit
uation in "dry" Hood River, thus
spending the taxpayers money to
discover if prohibition prohibited.
This is what they found out, as
set forth in their formal report to
the Circuit Court on October 6, 1914.
"Nearly all Of the time of the
grand jury has been taken up with
consideration of alleged violations of
tire local ootion law within this juris-
diction. We have received the report
Of the sheriff of the county as to the
quantity of intoxicating liquor shipped
into this county during the last three
i3onths. BY this report it appears
that q large amount of liquor has
been shipped to private individuals
during the period, and presumably
procured and used legally. 1t fur
ther appears that the quantity re-
ceived by the drug stores during the
period was considerably more than
during the preceding three months,
and too large to be disposed of in
accordance with the section of the To-
cal option law regulating the writing
of prescriptions by physicians, and in
this connection we call the attention
of physicians of Hood River County
to Section 1921 of Lords Oregon
Laws.
"We recommend that the physi-
clans confine themselves more close
ly to the letter Of this section of the
local option law"
The report is signed by Joseph
Frazier, Jr., as foreman.
