Kiau Chau. The imperial rescript was
issued last evening. Count Won Rex,
the German ambassador, was given
his passports and will sail for America.
George w. Guthrie, American ambas-
sador, will represent Germany. The
text of the edict declaring war on
Germany is:
ISSUED at Toxic Aug. 23, 6 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, do hereby make the
following proclamation to all our loyal
and brave subjects:
I'VE hereby declare war against
Germany, and we command our ar
my and navy to carry on hostilities
against that empire with their
strength, and we also command all
our competent authorities to make ev-
cry effort. in pursuance of their re-
spective duties, to attain the national
aim by all means within the limits of
the law of nations.
"Since the outbreak of the p, sent
war in Europe, the calamitous effect
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 hostilities against that country,
and Germany is at Kiau-Chau, its leas-
ed territory in China, busy with war
like preparations, while its armed YES
sells cruising the seas of Eastern Asia
are threatening our commerce and that
of our ally. Peace of the Far East
thus is in jeopardy
Oui anu
that of his Britannia majesty, after
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
and we, on our part, being desirous
to attain that object by peaceful
means, command our government to
offer with sincerity an advice to the
imperial German government. By the
last day appointed for the purpose,
however, our government failed to re-
ceive an answer accepting their ad-
vices. 1t is with profound regret that
we, in spite of our ardent 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.
''It 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 enhanced"
