another period of patient waiting upon
important change in the relations between

one or the other of the Mexican factions.
1t has been hinted that during his six
months stay in Mexico Mr.. Lind has ar
rived at certain conclusions that are not
entirely reassuring as to the ability of the
constitutionalist leaders to establish a
stable and satisfactory government, in
the event General Huerta finally releases
his hold upon the reins of power. 1t Is
<believed there that the conference on
board the cruiser Chester related in part
to the conditions that might arise in Mex
leo, following the end of the 'crumblins
process and the elimination of Huerta.
State department officials have been CIV

 Many new features will be added to the Fair this year, that will make a visit to this magnificent display of the resources of the Twin States, a most interesting event. Already we hear of parties being arranged to visit the Fair for most of the days during the week.
 We are glad to hear of so much in- terest being taken in this annual ex- hibition of the resources of Arkan- sas and Oklahoma. It speaks well for the citizenship of the two states, because it is a medium of publicity that they can not get in any other manner. The advertising value of this Fair should appeal to all of us, on account of the publicity of our resources, that otherwise, would cost thousands of dollars. Everybody should take a greater interest in the 1911 Fair than ever before. because Committee of the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco will be at the Fair to secure the best of every thing on exhibition, and preserve it in cold storage and otherwise, to place on exhibition in the Arkansas section Tn San Francisco in 1915.

pondence Rogers Democrat. JAPAN ENTERS WORLD
 BATTLE AGAINST KAISER
Japan Today Declared War on Ger many on Land and Sea. Will Begin Battle at Once. No
 Quarrel with Austria

Tolkio, Aug. 23.-The emperor of Japan today declared war on Ger many. This action was taken at the expiration of the time limit of Ja- pans ultimatum to Germany demand ing the surrender of Kiao Chow.
 The Japanese government has or dered the beginning of operations on land and sea
 The 1 imperial rescript declaring war on Germany was issued this even- ing. It officially inaugurates hosti- lities in the Far East as a result of Germany's failure to reply to the Ja- panese ultimatum.
 The proclamation of the emperor sent a thrill through the country. Japan's entrance upon the fulfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular spirit from one end of the country to the other. Cheering crowds assembled today before public buildings and to- night there were lantern processions through the streets. The popular manifestations, however, do not ap- proach the enthusiasm which proceed ed the war with Russia.
 Count von Rex, the German ambas- sador, has been handed his passports. He probably will leave for America. Geo. w. Guthrie, the American am- bassador, will represent Germany. The Diet has been convoked in special session for September 3.
 No Quarrel With Austria.
 The Austrian crusier, Kaiserin Eli zabeth, which latterly was at Tsing Tau, the seaport of Kiao Chow, is re- ported to have sailed. She perhaps will go to a neutral port and disarm. It is believed this action will keep Austria out of the war in the Orient, although unforeseen circumstances may force Japan to change this poli- cy. No action has been taken rela- tive to Austria, and the Foreign Office has explained that Japan will remain friendly unless Austria adopts an at titude which # regards as offensive.
 It is reported here that Germany has been trying to transfer the Ger man railroad in Shan Tung to Ameri- ca Tokio believes, however that the United States, pursuing the policy of neutrality outlined by President Will son, will not accept. President Will sons announcement of neutrality has greatly pleased the Japanese.
 The texat of the imperial rescript is:
 Issued at Tokio, August 23, p m.
 "We, by the grace of heaven, em- peror of Japan, seated on the throne occupied by the same dynasty from time immemorial, do hereby make the following proclamation to all our loy- al and braveosubjects:
 "We hereby declare war against Germany, and we command our army and navy to carry on hostilties against that empire with their strength, and we aslo command all our competent authorities to make every effort in pursuance for their respective duties, to attain the nation al aim by all means within the limits of the law of nations.
