will consult this Government before
taking any steps beyond the bound
aries Of Kiaochow.
This last procedure, 1t was pointed out
to Japan, follows in natural sequence
the arrangement consummated at the
time Of the boxer rebellion between
Japan and the United States. whereby
the armed forces of this Government
were allied with those of other nations
in the march on Peking for the safe
guarding Of foreign legations and mis-
sions.
Baron Chinda, the japanese ambas-
sador, has assured the United States of
the sincere intention of Japan to re-
store Kiaochow to China. He Is conf
dent also that in case Of any trouble
in the interior Of China, the Tokyo gov
ernment would be glad to notify the
American Government Of any contem-
plated measures.
The japanese ambassador is in con-
slant communication with his govern
ment at Tokyo. but has learned nothing
as yet of any reply from Germany to
the uldmatum of last Saturday.
The Washington times., 1914-08-22

A formal declaration Of policy bear
ing on Japan's strained relations with
Germany, concerning the surrender by
the latter power of the territory OF
Kiaochow, has been made by the
United States to the Nipponese govern
ment. The attitude Of this Govern
ment has been defined in a formal
note to Tokyo, following assurances on
the part Of Japan that the integrity OF
China shall not be violated.
Tho note from the State Department
to the japanese government is couched
in friendly and diplomatic terms. 1t
sets forth the desire of the United
States to remain neutral concerning
every phase of the European conflict.

The mayor instructed Chief Glea-

Stillson's and others.
They were instructed to find out if
women driven from the underworld
were soliciting in the places men
toned and also whether dope was
being sheIled out in the ladies' re-
firing rooms.
And after investigating they had
to report that they couldn't tell
whether there were any women from
the underworld sitting in the places;
that when they got bunch that
some woman who was acting bois-
ferrous and drinking much was a
scarlet sister they found on investi-
CATION she was an ermine sister with
a Lake Shore drive standing and a

And, of course, the management

They didn't find any dope being

to report there was nothing doing.

scratching, discreetly, but earnestly,

silehce the most cruel torments. Vir-
ginia, would she not die rather than

elsewhere. A reader complained the

did not admit that the establishment
to which he had the honor to belong
should be the object of such an accu-
sation.

observed at the top and in the right
hand corner. OF course, the pole was
only inserted in the pot for the pur
pose of photography.
The peculiar growth of spruce (Pi,
cea excelsa), shown in the accompany.
ing photograph, is one of the numerous
forms of witches brooms, which occur
on many kinds of trees. The most ia.
miliar example of witches broom Is
that which appears on the common
birch, somewhat resembling a crows
nest in outline. Notifications of such
growth are found, however, on most
kinds of trees, sometimes fairly com,
monty, as in hornbeam and cherry; at
other times at infrequent intervals, as
in spruce and pine. They vary a good
deal in habit some forming untidy clus
ters of long, slender branches, as in
the laburnum and lime, and others
growing into globular or cushion-like
compact masses such as the one here
indicated. All are considered to orig
mate through irritation set up in the
nrst place IN one or more dormant
buds; but by the time the growths are
noticeable the source of the original
injury cannot always be determined, a
popularity of such growths being that
once the abnormal condition has start.
ed it goes on indefinitely, although the
original source of bud injury may have
disappeared. 1t is we'll known that the
cause of some such growths is due to
fungus agency, and others to insect
punctures. Thus the large witches
brooms on birch are known to be
caused by the fungus Exoascus turgi.
dus, whereas the small, and much
more harmful, knotty growths on
birch branches are due to irritation set
up by tiny insect, Eriophyes rudis.
AS a rule, large growths, such as the
one shown in the photograph, do little
or no harm to the trees on which they
may chance to exist, but the small
birch growth previously noticed often
kills those on which it occurs.-Coun.
