washington, d. C., Aug. 1s.-The
ultimatum served on Germany by ia
pan is looked on here in the best in
formed quarter as brilliant stroke Of
diplomacy from the japanese stand
point. PROFESSIONALLY in many quar-
tiers in the country the action OF Japan
will be regarded as ominous with re-
spect to the United States to the flu
ture of the Philippines and future DOM
ination of the Pacific. .... ..
But for the present, IL the views of
the state department are. correct, there
is no reason for the United States be-
ing involved in the situation and its
interests will not be involved directly
by the Japanese occupation of Kiau-
Chau. The state department is dis
posed to regard the present situation as
one between Germany and Japan. ia
pan has given this government assur-
ance that American interests in the far
east will not be endangered
The underlying objects of the Jap
anese diplomacy are numerous and
striking, according to information here.

carry out to the letter her treaty with

CENSORSHIP PLAN
MEETS DIFFICULTY
Wireless Messages Hard To
Intercept Because OF Relay
Possibilities.

washington. Aug. 1s.--President Will
son expects. within the next "a hours,
to find an impartial plan for dealing
with the question Of censoring wireless
and cable messages out of the United
states to the nations involved In the
European war He consulted today
with department of justice officials and
with International law experts on the
subject.
The president told callers today that
the chief difficulty Is that cables can
deliver messages only on this side or
the other side Of the ocean, while the
chief sphere Of the wireless is In mid
Atlantic.
Replying to a suggestion that 1t would
be easy for Great Britain TO send from
the United States to Canada and send
then across the Atlantic, the president
said the practical difficulties Of CEN
sorship to Canada were also unsur-
Enountable.
