THE Imperial Japcnesc Government
announces at the same time that in
the event Of it not receiving by noon
on August 23, 1914, an answer from
the Imperial German Government sig
nifying its unconditional acceptance
of the above advice offered by the I'M
perial Japanese Government, Japan
Will be compelled to take such action
as she may deem necessary to meet
the situation"
inspired uttcrances express regret
at the inability to maintain neutral
ity, but say that Great Britain, the ally
OF Japan, is compelled to defend her
self against the aggrcssions of Ger
many Moreover, it is pointed out that
Germany is making preparations day
ana night at Kiau Chau, where it is
storing provisions, while its warships
ere securing the seas of Eastern Asia,
to the rgeat detriment Of commerce;
and that it's converted cruisers are
scizing English merchant vessels. Such
actions, it is urged, are directly calcu-
lated to disturb the peace of Eastern
Asia, and accordingly, after full and
frank communication with Great Brit
ain, Japan has found herself com
PEELED to send an ultimatum to Ger
many.
The Japanese war Office summoned
all newspaper men at l o'clock this
afternoon in order that they might re-
ceive instructions in regard to the
publication OF news in the event of a
state of wal. coming into force.
The text of the Japanese ultimatum
has created profound impression al
though 1t had been predicted that ia
pan was making ready to participate
in the war.
Count Okuma, the premier, and Ta-
kaaN Kato, the foreign minister, ad-
dressed meetings Of merchants, mem
bers of Parliament and others, and

clarcd that Japan has no ambition for

Grave Developments.
Washington, August 1S..-Japan's ul-
timatum to Germany was received by
American officials as one of the grav-

range of conflict heretofore confined
within Europe.

I'VE recognize the Importance Of
providing warchousing facilities and
recommend that this subject be taken
care of as soon as eXpedient.
Just prior TO the adjournment of
the congress n further resolution wos
adopted providing for a general warc-
house committee composed Of ono
member from each State to no an
pointed by the chairman to carefully
take up The warehcus;ng situation and
work out as nearly a uniform system
of handling the 1914 crop as could le
done. It was further resolved that at
the state meetings the question of
solving the immediate needs in each
state Of warehouses should be taken
up. carefully considered and acted nm
on in accordance with the conditions
prevailing IL each state, and if nee
essary the State meeting should take
up with their respective governments
the matter Of invoking legislative ac
ton on the matter at the proper time.
1T is extremely important that com
plete information be obtained imme-
diately as to the warchousing spacc
available in South Carolina for tho
early movement and handling of such
portion OF the crop as II is necessary
to warehouse, and that the state or

room to room he went until he came to one at which rude barred door still stood, and as he put his shoulder against tito push it in again the shriek of warning rang out almost beside him. It was evident that he was being warn-s ed to refrain from desecrating this par ticular room. Or could it be that with in lay the secret to the treasure stores
 At any rate, the very fact. that the strange, invisible guardians of this weird place had some reason for wish ing him not to enter this particular chamber was sufficient to treble Tar zan,s desire to do so, and though the shrieking was repeated continuously ne kept his shoulder to the door until it gave way before his giant strength to swing open upon creaking wooden hinges.
 Within all was black as the tomb There was no window to let in the faintest ray of light and as the corri- dor upon which it opened was itself in semida rkness, even the open door shed no relieving rays within. Feeling be fore him upon the floor with the butt of his spear, Tarzan entered the sty- gian gloom. Suddenly the door behind him closed and at the same time hands cIutched him from every direction out Of the darkness.
 The ape man fought with all the saw age fury of self preservation backed by the herculean strength that was his. But though he felt his blows land and his teeth sink into soft flesh. there seemed always to be new hands to take the place of those that he fought off. At last they dragged him down, and slowly, very slowly, they oyercame him by the mere weight of their mum bers. And then they bound him.
 He had heard no sound except the heavy breathing of his antagonists and the noise of the battle. He knew not what manner of creatures had eaptur- ed him, but that they were human seemed evident from the fact that they E had bound him.
 Presently they lifted hiIn from the floor. and half dragging. half pushing him, they brought him out of the black chamber through another doorway into an inner courtyard of the temple Here he saw his captors. There must have been 100 of them short, stocky men, with great boards that covered their faces and fell upon their hairy breasts. The thick, matted hair upon their heads grew low over their receding brows and hung about their shoulders and their backs Their crooked legs were short and heavy, their arms long and muscular. About their loins they wore the skins of leopards and of lions, and great necklaces of the claws of l these same animals depended upon l their. breasts. Massive circlets Of yfr- gin gold adorned their arms and legs. For weapons they carried heavy, knot

those in the court below took up the refrain of a low, weird chant. Presently those about Tarzan began to dance to the cadence of their solemn song.
 For ten minutes or more they kept I1p their monotonous chant and steps, and then suddenly and in perfect uni son they turned toward their victim with upraised bludgeons and emitting fearful howls the while they contorted their features into the most diabolical expressions, they rushed upon him..
 At the same instant female figure dashed into the midst of the blood thirsty horde, and, with bludgeon similar to their own. except that it was wrought from gold, beat back the ad- vancing men.
 After a moment or two the girl drew a knife from her girGle and, leaning over Tarzan, cut the bonds from his legs. Then as the men stopped their dance and approached she notioned to him to rise. Placing the rope that had been about his legs around his neck, she led him across the courtyard, the men following in twos.
 Through winding corridors she led, farther and farther into the remoter precincts of the temple until they came to a great chamber in the center of which stood an altar. Then it was that Tarzan translated the strange ceremo- ny that had preceded his introduction into tfiis holy of holies.
 He had fallen into the hands of de- scendants of the ancient sun worship ers His seeming rescue by votaxess of the high priestess of the sun had been but part of the mimicry of their heathen cerenony the sun looking down upon him through the opening at the top of the court had claimed him as his own, and the priestess had come from the inner temple to save him from the pol1uting hands of woradangs Ito save him as 8 human offering to their flaming deity Fl

ted bIudgeons, and in the belts that confined their single garments each had 1of1g, wicked looking knife.
 But the feature of them that made the most startling impression upon their prisoner was their white skins neither in color nor feature was there trace of the negroid about them Yet, with their receding foreheads, wicked little close set eyes and yellow fangs. they were far from prepossessfng in appearance.
 During the fight, within the dark chamber and while they had been drag gfng Tarzan to the inner court no word had been spoken, but now several of them exchanged grunting, nonosyl- labic conversation in a language unfa- miliar to the ape-man, and presently they left him lying upon the concrete floor while they trooped on on their short legs into another part Of the tenn pie beyond the court.
 He had lain within the court for several hours before the first rays of sunlight penetrated the vertical shaft Almost simultaneously he heard the pattering of bare feet in the corridors about him, and moment later saw the galleries above him fill with crafty faces as a score or more entered the courtyard with him. For a moment every eye was bent l upon the monday sun. and then in uni saR the people in the galleries ana

 Another marrow passage led through this wall, and at its end Tarzan and his warriors found themselves in broad avenue, OF the opposite side of which crumbling edihces of hewn. granite loomed dark and .forbidding Upon the crumBled debris along the face of the buildings trees had grown, and vines wound in and out of the hollow, staring windows, but the building di- rectly opposite them semed less over grown than the others and in much better state of preservation. It was a massive pile, surmounted by an enor- nous dome At either side of its great entrance stood rows of tall pillars, each capped by huge, grotesdue bird carved from the solid rock of the mon oliths-

my passage clear Of the crowd, seeing
