Washington, Aug. 21.-Japan has re-
ceived from the United States for
mai declaration of policy bearing on
the delivery by Japan to Germany of
the ultimatum demanding the surren-
der by the latter country of the ter
ritory of Kiao- Chow.
The American governments attitude
was outlined in reply to assurances by
Foreign Minister Kato that the integ-
rlty OF China would be preserved.
The United States pointed out that
1t must refrain from expressing anv
opinion on the merits of the ultimatum
especially since the ultimatum light
lead TO war, and it was the avowed
policy of this government to maintain
absolute neutrality in every phase OF
the European conflict.
The United States took occasion
however. in friendly and diplomatic
way to place on record its understand :
ing OF the situation as follows:
First, that Japan's purpose was not
TO SEEK territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
China.
Second, that Japan has promised TIC
restore the territory Of Kiao- Chow to
China, maintaining the integrity Of
that republic and acting only in ac.
cordance with the Anglo-Japanese al.
lance.
Third, that In case of serious disor-
ders or disturbances in the interior
of China. growing out of the unsettled
state OF affairs in the Far East, JAP

RELIEF READY TO

ments in Gold to All
Americans

Washington, Aug. 21.-Arrange-
ments were virtually completed today
by the National Board of Relief to
{ transfer to Americans in England the
/. total of all funds deposited to their
credit at the state and treasury de-
partments. Negotiations by cable led
to an announcement tonight that the
Bank of England will make payments
in gold to Americans with proper Gre
dentials and these will be drawn
against deposits made in their branch
In Canada.
To date about $4,000 has been
deposited in the government depart
ments for Americans abroad.
One pleasing feature of the situa-
tien, the board members said tonight;
was the fact that the French gov
eminent has notified the state DEF
partment that it will arrange to move
all Americans now in Switzerland to
French seaports. 1t is estimated that
there are about 10000 Americans in
Switzerland.
Secretary McAdoo decided today to
deposit $500 with the assistant Unit
ed States treasurer at New York to
aid destitute Americans who reach
that port from Europe. The secretary
said that criticism of the way in which
the relief work is being carried on
was due to Interruptions to the cable
service. Reports that reach the board
indicate that there are about 2OoU
Americans in Italy, but that the Italo-
American transatlantic service prob
ably would be resumed immediately.
Americans in Germany are now able
to get into Holland and thence TO
England.

THE POPE'S LAST
CONVERSATIONS
ARE PUBLISHED
"Neyer Have | Seen a More Sc
rene DEATH" Says the
Pontiff's Physician

Rome, Aug. H.-The Corriere d'Italia
today publishes an interview concerning
the last hours of the Popes illness in
which the Pontiff's physician sets down
some of his conversations with his pa
tient and dwells upon the effect on his
end of the war news from northern Eu-
rope.
Dr. Marchiafava declares that the
gravity of the Holy Fathers illness be-
gan on Wednesday, Aug. 49, On that day
he was depressed, his pulse was rapid
and his temperature rose to 1902 degrees.
There was rapid treplition of the lung,
but mentally he was alert.
He said to me- DR.. Marehiafava con-
tinues: doctor, today 1 will get up
and go to work On my vehement re-
monstrance he remained in bed. At half
past ten the collapse occurred. Oxygen
was administered and the patient was
cupped He revived, his vgor returned
and the afternoon of Wednesday he SEEM
ed better. His hands were as white as
those OF a child. but they were warm. He
began to speak again, saying to me,
| Doctor won't you give me some coffee
and milk? Why don't you come near
me?'
These words deceived some of those
present into hope, but soon the prostra-
tion returned. l asked him how he felt
and he answered me: Better. doctor,
thank YOU
"Instead of becoming better he grew
rapidly worse until evening, when his
temperature rose to 1o4 degrees. The al
buminaria increased and the other symp-
toms all were grave, while the nephritic
complication indicated that the patient
could live only few hours.
Before midnight his consciousness had
almost entirely disappeared. Aware that
the end was approaching, I put the cruel
fix in his hands. He muttered a few
words, repeating them slowly. He kissed
ardently the little ivory crucifx. Once
more he turned his glance around the
room and then expired. Never have !
seen more serene DEATH
