APPRECIATES u. S. OFFER
OF MEDIATION
Kaiser Points Out Causes of European
War in Message to President
: Wilson.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Germany
appreciation for the tender of good Of
fees made by the United States was
contained in long message to Presi-
dent Wilson, transmitted through Am.
bassador Gerard.
The contents of the message were
guarded closely, but officials admitted
that there is nothing in it which can
be construed as an indication of
whether the emperor will accept the
offer.
The German emperor in addition
took occasion to point out at some
length the cause of the present war
and argued, it is understood, that at
the very time he was trying to medi-
ate between Austria and Servia the
Russian mobilization began. His state
ment is said to follow the line of pre-
vious official utterances from Berlin.
1t was this message which Emperor
William wrote while sitting with Am
bassador Gerard in the picturesque
palace garden in the midst of his war
maps.
The earnest determination of the
United States government to keep
in European war and it's controver-
sizes was manifested in other ways
than President Wilson's appeal to the
American people, in which he called
on them studiously to refrain from
any expression or act that might re.
! veal the slightest partisanship toward
the nations in conflict.
Vexing Censorship Problem.
For nearly three hours the president
and his cabinet wrestled with the vex
ing cable-Wireless censorship situa
ton, striving to reach a decision
equitable to all concerned. The mat
ter is still under consideration.
Official information came from Der
lin that the Japanese ultimatum has
been delivered to the German govern
ment and it was intimated in the
diplomatic dispatches that war be
tween Japan and Germany is not I'm
likely.
The Japanese minister at Berlin, ap
parently forseeing such an eventual
ity, asked Ambassador Gerard to be
prepared to take over the Japanese
interests in Germany
The Japanese ultimatun demanding
: that Germany evacuate kiaochou and
withdraw her fleet from the Orient
was uppermost in the attention of Of
fetal Washington.
Discussion was general as to how
the interests of the United States
might be affected ultimately and while
there was a careful reticence on al
sides it was obvious that feeling o
relief followed the assurances given a
London that should Japan take actor
against Germany such activity will b.
confined to the China seas and Ger
man territory in Eastern Asia and no
against German insular possessions il
the middle Pacific, where also tn
United States has islands of STRATEGY
importance.
There is no information thus ia
as to what Germany's course will b
on the Japanese ultimatum. But tn
prevailing view in the best posted Of
fetal and diplomatic quarters is tina
Germany cannot and will not acced
to the demands.

Republic Nine To Change

All doubt as TO the authenticity OF
the rumors of change of ownership
of the famous Republic mine have been
SET at rest by a public notice of a
call To stockholders to meet on the 14th
of June next to consider proposition
TO sell the property. The purchaser
is understood TO befhe Cleveland Cliffs
Iron company. Which concern has
lately taken an inventory of the pro-
perty.
The Republic Is one of the famous
old mines of the upper peninsula, not
alone because of its peculiar ore but
because of the fact that in the early
days the price of Republic ore fixed
the price of Lake Superior ore.
The Republic was originally owned
by the people who opened up and de-
veloped the old Msstodon mine. Dur
ing the transitory period in iron min
ing. when finishing companies were
acquiring every raw material pro-
perty that could be picked up, the
Republic passed to the control of the
Cambria Steel company and was group
ed with the Vulcan properties under
the management of Vim. Kelly.
Should the deal go through it will
undoubtedly change the railroad map
of the peninsula somewhat. The
Cleveland Cliffs railroad ends now at
the American mine, about IA miles
from Republic. This short distance
