Official information came from Berlin
that the Japanese ultimntum had been
delivered 10 the German government,
and it was intimated in the diplomatic
dispatches that war between Japan and
Germany was not unlikely. The Japanese
minister at Berlin, apparently fore
seeing such an evcntuality, asked
Ambassador Gerard to be prepared to
take over japanese interests in Germany.
The President received from Emperor
William a long message, transmitted
through Ambassador Gerard, the con-
tents of which We're guarded closely, but
which 1t was learned. expressed the
grateful appreciation of Germany for the
tender of good offices made by the
United States
The German Emperor, in addition. took
occasion to point out at some length
the causes of the present war and
argued, 1t is und rstood, that at the very
time he was trying to mediate between
Austria and Servia the Russian mobiliza-
ton began. White House officials denied
that the message contained any protest
concerning the attitude OF the American
press toward Germany.
