in holding back the invaders.
An official announcement issued at
Paris warns the people that the tide
of battle may ebb and flow; that
there will be no actions along this
great line, which are bound to be
responded to by just as stirring coun-
teractions by the Germans, and that
the people must wait for the outcome
of the first phase of this great battle,
which probably will last several days,
before it can determine on which side
victory rests.
Japan Enters War of Nations.
Japan has come into the war OF
nations. The emperor of Japan has
declared war on Germany and the
Japanese fleet and land forces are
ready for the struggle around kiao-
Chow. the German protectorate In
China. Late dispatches from Using
Tau say the German preparation is
complete and that the territory viii
be defended to the utmost. Several
German warships are lying in the har-
Dor of Using Tau and the waters have
been mined.
Coincidentally with Japan's dec,

British official news bureau announces
that the Austro- Hungarian govern
