council will also be brought in at the next meeting.
 Nothing definite towards purchasing a motorcycle has been done. Alder man Franey, chairman of the Police committee, said that he had been in communication with several dealers, but none would take city scrip in.pay- ment for the vehicle. The council was given some encouragement, how ever, when Alderman Well said that if the scrip was cut into SEQ denomi- nations he would dispose of it so the cycle could be purchased. This was assured him and he and Alderman lfraney will make an effort to sell the scrip this week and purchase the motorcycle.

The chief of police was also instruct ed to hire a man to act as poundsman and place him on a salary and to abol- ish the fee system which is now being operated in this department. There are at present two COW catchers and they will be substituted by one. ! Mayor Bloom reported that the fence which is to enclose the south end of Bellwood cemetery has been purchased. He was also instructed to advertise lots for sale at the ceme- tery in the new addition recently talk en in.
 The city engineer was instructed to serve sidewalk notices on residents | living on Plum streets between Sixth and Ninth avenues and property own CTS on Twelfth avenue between Laur- el and Elm streets.
 The matter of openinng Oak street 1 from Sixth to Thirteenth was argued at length and steps will be taken in the near future to this end.

The contrast of fabrics as we'll as of plain and fancy effect $ is a good one. The plain color is a yellowish brown while the plaid shows threads of brown and yellow with touches of green. A smarter effect could be ob- tained by con- bining any fancy material with a plain one, cotton or linen quite as well as silk, and some very charming effects can be ob- tained from fancy ratine and eul- broidered crapes. There are many beautiful plaid effects to be found in the linen ratines and just his com binatlon could be reproduced in that material.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Although
there was no formal expression from
administration officials, it became
known that President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan are opposed TO
floating any loans in the united
States for the benefit Of any bellig-
erent powers in Europe.
Both the president and MI. Bryan
studied the situation arising out OF
the inquiry of j. P. Morgan q Co.
as to what would be the attitude OF
the administration in case certain
banking interests which had ap-
preached them should try to float .
loan for the French government.
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
subject, referring inquirers to the
bankers for information. Later when
statement issued by the Morgan
company was shown Mr.. Bryan, ne

cific. A
Washington, Aug. 16.-Cable re-
ports received here from agents OF
the United States government In
Toxic state that declaration of
war by Japan against Germany IL
expected, possibly within the next
twenty-four hours.
The exact nature of these reports
cannot be learned, but they are
given credence in official circles.
They did not come to the state de-
partment. 1t appears that the state
departments representatives have
not confirmed this information, al
though that department is under
stood to be making every effort to
obtain definite official information
of the intentions of the Japanese
government.
1t is reported that japan has pre-
pared her fleet and has concentrate
ed an expeditionary force Of fifty
thousand men for this service. From
this information 1t is assumed that
the japanese contemplate an as
sault upon the German naval base
at Using Tau. The concentration Of
troops is believed to forecast a Jap
anese occupation OF the German
leased territory in China, with its
annexation by japan as a logical
result.
News Of Japan's aggressive inten-
lions in China did not come as a
surprise to officials here. For years
the chief pressure from the Japanese
public against the government has
been to force a more aggressive at
titude toward China. The Japanese
government has been urged to seize
every opportunity to increase Jap
ans territorial holdings and prestige
in China.
