JAPS DECLARE
WAR ON GERMANY
Forces Are Ordered TO Attack
Fortress al KiauChau
FLEET REACHES THERE SUNDAY
German Commander Refuses TO Sur.
render and Japanese Begin Smelling
Fortifcatlons With Great Guns.

Japan has begun war on Germany
with an order to the Japanese army
and navy to capture Kiauchau Ger
manys Chinese possession, immedi'
ately. The Japanese expeditionary
force reached Kiauchau Sunday and
began operations Immediately.
After summons to surrender that
was met by refusal the lombard
ment of the seaport of Tsingtau was
begun.
Official news of the situation of tho
Japanese fleet and transports is lack
ing but because of the preparations
that have been in progress since Japan
sent her ultimatum to the kaisers
government last Sunday II is believed
that everything was ready for the at
tack on Kiauchau when the time limit
Of the ultimatum expired and that the
attack already has been begun.
The Japanese eXpeditlonary forces
sent to KiauChau are under the com
mand of Vice Admiral Kamimura.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Eliza
beth, which latterly was at Tsingtau,
the seaport of Kiauchau is reported
to have sailed. She perhaps will go
to a neutral port and disarm. 1t Is
believed this action will keep Austria
out of the war in the Orient.
No action has yet been taken rela.
tive to Austria and the foreign Of
fee has explained that Japan will re.
main friendly to Austria unless
Austria adopts an attitude which 1t
regards as offensive.
1t is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man railroad in Shantung, China, TO
America. Toxic believes, however
that the United States, pursuing the
policy of neutrality outlined by Presl.
dent Wilson, will not accept the offer.
President Wilson's announcement OF
American neutrality has greatly
pleased the Japanese.

Prompt and effective action by the

foreign trade.
"There is nothing either unsound or
unpromising in the domestic trade and
crop situation, all the disturbances
now experienced in the market being
due to the interruption of foreign ex'
change transactions caused by the
European war. With the reopening of
our foreign trade on liberal scale
there should be return to full normal
prosperity in American business.

 The strikers began surrendering their arms yesterday and continued it all day, As soon as they realized that the mine owners were complying in good faith with the orders of the mil ltary officers. they offered no further objection to the plans of the govern ment.
 The army will not permit the open ing of the mines until the country is completely dlsarmed and peace is ab- solutely established. All strikebreak- CTS who have come into the country lately have been deported, and others are leaving. The mine owners, are dis charging the guards who have become useless to them, and are giving them transportation to their homes.

 The play is founded on the disposi- tion of some American girls, daughters of wealthy parents. to seek. titled hus- bands fa Europe and of some impoy- erished holders of patented names to sell their titles in the highest market.
