Tokic.-The emperor of Japan Sun
day declared war on Germany. This
action was taken at the expiration of
the time limit of Japan's ultimatum
to Germany demanding the surrender
OF Kiau Chow.
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
before public buildings and there were
lantern professions through the
streets, The popular manifestations,
however, do not approach the enthu-
siasm which preceded the war with
Russia.
Count Won Rex. the German ambas-
sador, has been handed his passports.
He probably will leave for America.
Geo w Guthrie. the American au'N7s
sador, will represent Germany. he
Diet has been convoked in special ses-
sion for September 8.
1t is reported here that Germany has
been irving to transfer the German
railroad in Shan Tung to America.
Toxic believes, however. that the Uni
ted States, pursuing the policy OF neu-
trality outlined by President Wilson,
will not accept. President Wilson's
announcement Of neutrality has great
ly pleased the Japanese.
The text of the imperial rescript is:
Issued at Toxic, August %, p. m.
I'VE. by the grace of heaven, en-
peror of Japan, seated on the throne
occupied by the same dynasty from
time immemorial, de hereby make the
following proclamation to all our loyal
and brave subjects:
I'VE hereby declare war against
Germany. and we command our army
and navy to carry on hostilities against
that empire with their strength, and
we also command all our competent au-
thorities to make every effort, in pur-
suance for their respective duties, to
attain the national aim by all means
! within the limits of the law of ma
tons.
since the outbreak Of the present
war in Europe. the calamitous effort Of
which we view with grave concern,
we, on our part, have entertained
hopes of preserving the peace Of the
Far East by the maintenance of strict
! neutrality. but the action OF Germany
has compelled Great Britain. our ally.
to open hostiities against that coun.
try. and Germany is at Kiao Chow, its
leased territory in China, busy with
warlike preparations, while its armed
vessels cruising the seas Of Eastern
Asia are threatening our commerce
and that of our ally. Peace Of the
Far East is thus in jeopardy.
Accordingly, our government and
that OF his Brittanic majesty, after a
full and frank communication with
each other, agreed to take such meas.
ures as may be necessary for the pro-
lection of the general interests. con-
templated in the agreement OF alliance

nor receive it, The empire therefore
is unable to defend itself against the
falsehoods propagated by the press or

itself by its deeds. The German peo-

we. in spite of our urgent devotion to
the cause of peace. thus are compelled
to declare war. especially at this early
period of our reign and while we still
are in mourning for our lamented
mother
1T is our earnest wish that by the
loyalty and valor OF our faithful sub.
jects, peace may soon be restored and
the glory of the empire be enhanced"
The newspapers express surprise at
the extent of American suspicious re-
garding Japan's motives in issuing the
ultimatum, but leading writer's express
firm confidence that better under

OF America.

PROPOSITION CARRIED
BY CLOSE MARGIN
Yale Man Gets Light Plant.-There Was
But One Vote In Excess of the
Three-Fifths Required

The special village election held last
Friday 10 decide the question of wheth-
er or not North Brapchs electric light
ing plant should pass from municipal
to private ownership, resulted in the
affirmative by the closest possible mar
gin.
There was total of 90 ballots cast,
of which So were for and 81 against the
proposition. 1t required a three tifths
vote to carry and, rs the figures indi-
cate, the yeas had it by one majority.
The lighting plant has long been a,
perplexing proposition to the village
council. 1t has not paid out of late
years and its equipment has deteriorat
ed, so said, away below the point of
efficiency In excess of its earnings,
S4O0 was paid out of the contingent
fund during the past year to keep up
its running expenses. First the coun
Gil decided to submit the question of
bonding for 1000 to re-equip the plant
with up.to-date machinery, but got
cold feet and did not permit the propo
sitiOn to come to and issue If this had
gone TO successful conclusion the viii
lage would have had bonded indebt.
edness of $4,000 for its lighting plant,
as not single bOud Of The original
issue Of SS,UOO for It's purchase twelve
years ago has been refunded.
The late election was brought about
by proposal made TO the council by
Roswell Green, practical electrician
OF Yale, Mich, TO purchase the plant
at $500. In the face OF losing game
this looked good to the village dads,
and has been accepted as the best way
out of discouraglng situation by those
who have authority 10 say what shall
Se done.
Mr.. Green was here Tuesday aud
said he was ready to make good on bis
offer as soon as the papers were legally
prepared and signed, transferring the
property to him, under the conditions
of his proposal. He agrees to make re-
pairs to the plant to the amount of
$1,000 the first year and will Ill all prob.
ability be in full charge of his purchase
within week.-North Branch Gazette.

Appalling Property Loss Not Hazard
ed-PoVerty, Distress and
Stagnation.

London, Aug. 25.-The Ostend cor
respondent of the Chronicle says that
Belgiums losses so far are estimated
at 10000 killed. No estimate Of the
appalling property loss has been haz-
arded by the officials.
Industry everywhere is at a stand
still, says the correspondent.
Not a single factory or coal pit in
the country has been operated in
three weeks and not single penny
in wages has been received by the
men engaged in the staple activities
of the nation since Aug. 1.
There is nothing but dire poverty,
distress and stagnation even in the
areas untouched by the fighting.
Provision for the feeding, housing
and other care of refugees is being
pushed feverishly. More than 1000
refugees are herded in bathing cabins
along the beach and in various small
public buildings at Ostend.

to Telephone Call to Find His
Worst Fears Were Groundless.

Smithson said a thunderstorm al
ways reminded him of this absurd in
cident In his early married life. He
said it happened when their first baby
was only two months old, so he might
be rardoned if his solicitude exceed
ed his sober judgment. He was at
his office one afternoon when a ter
rifle thunderstorm broke which
crashed enough to frighten anyone,
so when the phone rang and his
wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY asked:
George, dear. can you come home
right away?" he said, Eyes," quickly,
nor paused to question, but frantic
with misgivings, grabbed his hat and
almost ran through town to his home.
Arriving all breathless, he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture of distress.
Rushing up to her he said anxious
ly: why, darling, what's the mat
ter?"
Much to his surprise came this re-
ply: ooh, George, dear, we have

A Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who has been
hunting in the vicinity Of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
a mountaineer who was feeding
Gagged wildcat be had caught the day
before
How much will you take for that
beast?" he asked.
The captor said S. and the money
was paid over.
Now" said the Nimrod, "tie one
end of strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck, and them
open the door of the cage"
This was finally accomplished and
the fierce animal stood straining at it's
tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior OF the
cabin, leveled his rifle across the win
dow sill, took careful aim and blazed
away. The wildcat gave joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest. The
bullet had cut the rope.
