JAPAN TAKESA HAND
GIVES GERMANY UNTIL AUGUST
% TO GET WARsHIPs AWAY
FROM THE ORIENT.
WILL SAFEGUARD AMERICANS
This Is the First Blow of the War So
Far Struck Toward the Dismem-
berment Of the German
Colonial Possessions.

Toxic, Aug 16.-Japan sent an ulti-
matum to Germany Saturday night at
8 o'clock demanding the withdrawal of
German warships from the orient and
the evacuation of Kiau-Chau, and Civ
ing Germany until Sunday, August %,
to comply with the demand Other
wise, the ultimatum states, Japan will
take action.
The general expectation here is that
the ultimatum will be followed by war
Takaaki Kato, the Japanese foreign
minister, simultaneously with the dis
patch of the ultimatum, consulted with
George W. Guthrie, the American am
bassador, and made to him a broad
statement, calculated to assure the
United States that American interests
in the far east would be safeguarded
and the integrity of China upheld.
Owing to doubts whether communi-
cations with Berlin were assured, Jap
an, in order to assure the arrival Of
the ultimatum forwarded it to Berlin
by six channels, including Washing
ton, London and Stockholm. The gov
eminent also notified Count Won Rex,
German ambassador to Japan, and
likewise retarded the time limit for a
reply until August 23.
AS Washington Sees 1t.
Washington-Japa ultimatum to
Germany was received by American Of
ficials as one of the gravest develop
ments in the war situation, bringing
power of the far east into a range of
conflict heretofore held within Europe.
Japan's action was taken on the
proposal of Great Britain which led to
the determination that the Anglo-Jap'
anese treaty of alliance applied to the
present situation; the two allies, Great
Britain and Japan are therefore co
operating in the action now in prog
ress.
Germany's Colonies in East.
Germany's colonies and dependen

GREAT BATTLE SOON
FRENCH MINISTER OF WAR SENDS
WORD OF CONDITIONS UNDER
WHICH ARMIES WILL FIGHT.
MILLIONS OF MEN ON LINE
Owing TO Extended Lines This Vast
engagement VIII Differ From Bat
ties Of other Times.-Each
Has Advantages.

Paris. Aug. 16.-The conditions un-
der which the great battle between
Germans and the allied forces probably
will he fought are made the subject
OF an official communication issued
by the French minister of war this af-
ternoon BY its development and the
nature of the ground over which the
battle will be waged, the communica-
ton says this waste engagement will
differ profoundly from the battles Of
other times.
by reason of the abandonment of
the attack which the Germans plan
ned against Nancy" says the commu-
nication, "our concentration has been
carried out with regularity and in it's
entirety, and thus the whole of the
French army will battle with the whole
of the German Forces, with the excep-
ton Of those German troops concen-
trated on the eastern frontier of the
empire.
The violation of the neutrality of
Belgium has extended the Belgian and
French lines to the frontier of Hol-
land The next battle, therefore, will
be from Basic to Maastricht, with sew
eral millions of men engaged an each
side
Fighting Front 266 Miles.
ut Is this enormous extension of ef
fectives and of front which will char
acteSize the battle, and 1t will be pro
foundly different from all other bat
ties
when two adversaries engage in
battle along front of from 20 to 81
kilometers (13 to 20 miles, the en-
gagement is characterized by two fea
tures-it is rapid and Immediately de
oisiye. With a front extending ovel
400 kilometers (266 miles 1t is no
likely to be the same.
II would appear impossible, from
all the evidence, that one of the ad
yersaries would be able to gain deci
sive advantage upon this front of 40'
kilometers The operations along s,
great a line would have varying for
tunes.
Advantage About Equal.
I'VE will have an advantage at on
or several points; the Germans vii
have an advantage of other points, an
the line of battle will continue to b
modified until one of the adversarie
succeeds by coordination of move
ments and mass of effort in gainin
some point the superiority of whic
win dislodge the adverse front an
mark the end of the first battle.
These observations have for thei
object the preparation of the publ
for a battle in new form and withor
precedent in history"
The communication adds that new
of definite results need not be expec
ed before Aug. "a.

FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

New York. Oct 23-In an address on the subject tHThe Point of View in Vocational Education.'' made before the Council of School Superintendents of the State of New York at Troy last night, Dr. Arthur D. Dean. chief of the division of vocational schools of the State Department of Education, advocated the organization of school work so that it should harmonize with home project activities. pr. Dean, in making clear the attitude of the state toward vocational training. said: 'Schools have two functions-training ng E for the business of life and for bus mess in life.
 t'Education for agricu1turists as- sumes that the country-bred boys may be Foest taught and thus serve their state best by having their educative process avail itself of subject matter relating to the agricultural environ ment. The rural high schools should be doing business the year round The principal should be a rurals life lead CT, perhaps a teacher of agriculture, but better a man of authority on ru- .raI betterment.
 we must eliminate book agricu1' ture, where we talk g. book. g. black board, and an imaginary saw and re- move pictorial limbs from a pictorial tree. We want the incentive of real orchards that need training and prun- ing. Our children should gain an attitude toward work, a concreteness and denniteness of action, leading to service and training of the alert mind. Our schoolhouses and educative pro- cess should be on the job for fourteen hours a. day. The educatives process l is continuous. There is no exact de- marcation between leaving school and going to work.
 ..The cash girl in the department store, the plumbers helper in the back shop, the boy in the field. the house girl in the kitchen, all are the l clientele to be served by the Unfver- sfty of the State Of New York and its affiliated schools There is a tremen- dous field yet unploughed for the es- 1 tab1ishment of day continuation work schools which will help these workers in our stores, factories, and offices to become useful and efficient citizens ?

IF SKIN lTCHES AND BREAKS OUT
 APPLY SULPHUR
Get ounce of bold-sulphur cream and heal Eczema
 eruptions right up.

For years, common boId-su1phur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous affections, by reason of its parasite destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also anti -pruritic, anttseptic and remarkably healing in irritable and infIammatory conditions of the skin.
 The moment you apply it to an itching or broken out skin the itch ing stops and the healing begins, says a noted dermato1ogist. Just com mon boId-sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt and re- markable results, even in aggravated Eczema that 1t is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians
 While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to sub due the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and 1t is often years later before any erup- ton again appears on the skin.
 Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce of bo1d-sulphur which should be applied to the irritated or tnf1amed parts, like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very vel come, particularly when the erup- ton is accompanied with itching Adv.

ROBERT BRIDGES, THE THE POET LAUREATE,
 SEVENTY. TODAY

Robert Bridges, the poet laureate or England, will pass the three-score- and-ten mark today, having been born in Kent on October 23, 1s44. His ap- pointnent to the post held by Tenny- son, and as the immediate successor of the late Alfred Austin, came as a, surprise to E1nglishn1en, as his poetlcal works were almost unknown among the masses of the people. Kpt1ng and William Waton, the most popular bards of twentieth century England. were not considered "safe.'' pr. Bridges was a physician before he began to WOO the muse. He retired from ac- tive practice of his profession In lSSz, settled on his country estate in York shire and devoted himself to ntera- ture.
 Since the outbreak of the war the poet, laureate has devoted his pen to the task of arousing the martial ar dor of the British people, but he has not succeeded so well as the gifted au- thor of 'Tt's a. Long, Long Way to Ttpperary.'' The following verses are from pr. Bridges poem, "Ye Peace makers. Fight:
 Thou careless awake! Thou peace
 maker, fight! :. Stand, England, for honor, and Goo guard the right.
 Thy mirtn lay aside. thy cavdl and play, 44
 The foe is upon thee and grave is the day.
