A GREAT BATTLE
IS JUST AHEAD
With Millions OF Men On
Each Side.
IT WILL DIFFER PROFOUNDLY
From the Battles Of Other
Without Prece.
dent In History.
NEWS OF RESULT WEEK AHEAD

Paris. Aug. 1.-THE conditions
under which the great battle be-
tween the Germans and the allied
forces probably will be fought are
made the subject of an official COM
munication issued by the French
Minister of War this afternoon.
BY its development and the nature
of the ground over which the battle
will be waged, the communication
says, this vast engagement will
differ profoundly from the battles of
other times.
by reason of the abandonment
of the attack which the Germans
planned against Nancy" says the
communication, our concentration
has been carried out with regularity
and in its entirety, and thus the
whole of the French army will bat
tie with the whole of the German
forces, with the exception of those
German troops concentrated on the
Eastern frontier of the empire.
THE violation of the neutrality
of Belgium has extended the Bel
gian and French lines to the frontier
of Holland The next battle, there
fore, will be from Basel to Mas
tricht, with several million of men
on each side.
1T is this enormous extension of
electives and front which will char
acterize the battle, and it will be
profoundly different from all other
battles.
when two adversaries engage in
battle along a front of from 20 to
80 kilometers (13 to 20 miles,, the
engagement is characterized by two
features-it is rapid and immediate
ly decisive. With front extending
over 400 kilometers (266 miles, it
is not likely to be the same.
1T would appear impossible. from
all the evidence. that one of the adj
NeTSdTleS WOulu ne dDle 10 gam ue-
cisive advantage upon this front of
400 kilometers. The operations
along so great line would have
varying fortunes.
''We will have an advantage at
one or several points. the Germans
will have an advantage at other
points, and the line of battle will
continue to be modified until one of
the adversaries succeeds by co-ordi-
nation of movements and masses of
effort i'm gaining some point, the SUI
periority of which will dislOdge the
adverse front and mark the end of
the first battle.
These observations have for their
object the preparation of the public
for battle i'm new form and with
out precedent in history"
The communication adds that
news of definite results need not be
expected for at least eight days, or
longer.

viii Force Action.
UNCLE SAM REMAINS NEUTRAL

Toxic, Aug. l6, 1880 p. m.-Japan
sent an ultimatum to Germany Sat
urday night at o'clock demanding
the withdrawal of German 'warships
from the Orient and the evacuation
of KiauChau, and giving Germany
until Sunday, August 23, to comply
with the demand. Otherwise. the
ultimatum states, Japan will take
action.
The general expectation here is
that the .ultimatum will be followed
by war.
Takaaki Kato, the Japanese For
eign Minister, simultaneously with
the dispatch of the ultimatum, con
ferred with George w. Guthrie. the
American Ambassador, and made to
him broad statement calculated to
assure the United States that Amer
be safeguarded and the integrity of
Chinda upheld.
Owing to doubts whether COM
munications with Berlin were assur-
ed, Japan, in order to insure the ar
rival of the ultimatum, forwarded it
to Berlin by six channels. including
Washington. London and Stockholm.
The Government also notified Count
Won Rex. German Ambassador to
Japan, and likewise retarded the
time limit for reply until August
30.
To, Keep Hands on.
Washington, Aug. 16.A-The Jap
anese Ambassador. Baron Chinda. to
night delivered to Secretary Bryan
the written announcement of Japan
that an ultimatum had been address,
ed to Germany requesting the lat
ter's withdrawal from her field of
activity i'm China. At the same time
he communicated the assurances of
Japan to the United States that the
utmost endeavor would be exet cis-
ed to safeguard the interests of this
country and all Others not i'm ne
diately concerned in he present op.
erations.
The United States, 1t became
known after Baron Chinda's call on
Mr.. Bryan, does not intend to be
drawn in any way into the contro-
versy, regarding ii as matter pure
ly between Germany and Japan. The
American Government considers sat
isfactory the promise OF Japan of
eventual restoration to China" of
the territory of Kaiu-Chau.
Japan's ultimatum to Germany
was received by American officials as
one of the greatest developments in
the war situation, bringing for the
first time the great military Power
of the Far East into range of con-
fiict heretofore held within Europe.
The announcement of the ultimat-
UNI demanding the withdrawal of
the German fleet from the Orient and
the evacuation of Kiau-Chau was
fully confirmed in official and diplo-
matte advices received here. The
American Government has been in
formed of what has been done, and
has received assurance from Japan
that every American interest vii, e
amply safeguarded.

as to what has occurred, and to be

II Is easy to stand off at a distance

everything possible has been done in

A Fish Law That Does Not Protect
