Mr. Carnegie, to further carry out

a valuable tip" from Japans ultimat-
UNI to Germany, which says: In order
to insure permanent peace, Germany
must withdraw her armed vessels
from Japanese waters, and must then
turn over, Immediately, and without
expense to Japan. the leased provinces
of Kaiu Chau, or Japan will declare
war" The Hague wasn't in it with
a peace demand" like this. Give us
what we want or we will take it from
you, and shoot your block off, besides.
However, that appears to be about the
basis of the peace" negotiations of
all the European countries at this
time, and the subjects of these Kings
and things have been drawn up in

arded and the integrity of China

guarded and the integrity of China
upheld.
Owing to doubt whether communi-
cations with Berlin were assured.
Japan, in order to assure the arrival
of the ultimatum, forwarded it to Ber-
lin by six channels, including Wash
ington, London and Stockholm. The
government also notified Count Won
Rex, German ambassador to Japan,
and likewise retarded the time limit
for reply until August 23. Count
Okumwa, the Japanese premier. faw
days ago invited the peers, the news
paper men and the leading business
,nen of Toxic to come to his office TT
noon and at and 6 o'clock in the
afternoon, respectively, when he made
known to them the terms of the ulti-
matum and announced that he would
give out the negotiations in connec-
tion with the alliance. The ultimatum
follows:
I'VE consider it highly important
and necessary in the present situation
to take measures to remove the causes
of all disturbances of the peace in the
far east and to safeguard the general
interests as contemplated by the agree
ment of alliance between Japan and
Great Britain. In order to secure a
Asia, the establishment of which is the
aim of the said agreement, the imper-
ial Japanese government sincerely be-
lieves it to be it's duty to give the ad-
vice to the imperial German govern
ment to carry out the following two
propositions: First to withdraw i'm
mediately from Japanese and Chinese
waters German men O. war and armed
vessels of all kinds and to disarm at
once those which cannot be so with
drawn.
Second, to deliver on a date not
later than September Is to the i'm
perial Japanese authorities without
condition or compensation, the entire
leased territory of Kiau Chau with a
view to the eventual restoration of the
same to China.
The imperial Japanese government
announces at the same time that in
the event of it not receiving by noon
on August %, 1914, an answer from the
imperial German government signify
ing it's unconditional acceptance of the
above advice offered by the imperial
Japanese government, Japan will be
compelled to take such action as she
may deem necessary to meet the sit
uation.
Inspired utterances express regret at
The Delta independent., 1914-08-21

the inability to maintain neutrality but
say that Great Britain, the ally of
Japan is compelled to defend herself
against the aggressions of Germany.
Moreover it is pointed out that Ger
many is making preparations day and
night at Kiau Chau where it is storing
provisions, while its warships are
securing the seas of eastern Asia to
the great detriment of commerce, and
that its converted cruisers are seizing
English merchant vessels. Such ac-
tions. it is argued, are directly calcu-
lated to disturb the peace of eastern
Asia and accordingly after full and
frank communication with Britain,
Japan has found herself compelled to
send an ultimatum to Germany.

demanding the withdrawal of German

many until Saturday, August % to

the ultimatum states Japan will take
action. The general expectation is
that the ultimatum will be followed
by war. Taaki Kato, the Japanese
foreign minister, simultaneously with

GraveIed Roads.

There has been much agitation dur
ing the past year concerning the sur
facing of our principal roads and as in
many parts of the state we find de-
posits of gravel it seems that this is
the material which may be economi-
cally used A few words concerning
the construction of these roads may
not be out of place.
First of all the construction should
be such that the gravel is confined
and held in position on the road This
is accomplished by so grading the
earth foundation that shoulders are
formed at the sides. The earth form
ing the shoulders should be we'll COM
pact and solid otherwise they will fail
In the function required of them.
Loose earth thrown up from the ditch
at the sides of the road will not an
swer the purpose unless moistened
and rolled with 7 or 10 ton roller.
The whole surface of the earth foun-
dation should be graded to the requir-
ed form and compact with the roller
and the gravel then spread in a layer
about four inches thick. in the center
and 2k inches at the side Enough
sand or loan is then added to make
the gravel bind" well, this is mixed
with the gravel with harrow and the
layer is then sprinkled and rolled un-
til solid Another layer of gravel is
then spread over the first and treated
In the same way. The result is a
graveled surface Is feet wide and six
inches thick at the center and 3k In
ches thick at the sides, and If the
gravel is of good quality this road
with little attention should last for
years.-E B. House. Colorado AgricuI-

The European war is having de-
pressing effect upon business. At
least all kinds of business excepting
the Wholesale and retail of food stuffs.
The American trade is nothing if not
speculative, and the American con-
sumers have been squeezed upon much
smaller pretexts than a drifting war
cloud. The boosting of prices to al
most prohibitory heights is the first
phase of the situation. Later the war,
by actual demand, may create a
higher market for American grains,
hay and other produce. The sugar
factories and the sugar trust will not
pay any more for beets than they con-
tracted to pay, even though the mar
ket price of sugar raised ten fold, and
many of their contracts are for more
than one year. Those people, how
ever, who will have to stand the great
est hardships, are the consumers The
army of laborers, mechanics. ETC.,
have no recourse, other than the slight
increase which may possibly come il
there should arise scarcity of labor.
1t is barely possibel that these things
may change in few weeks more, or
as soon as the greed of merchantmen
can no longer be fed through the de-
pleted channels of stock on hand If
1t does not SO change. and very soon,

Potato Dealers, Attention.

Accept no potatoes that are not guar
anteed to be free from Tuber Moth or
Eel Worms. 1t will be necessary to
condemn and destroy or order out of
the state all potatoes that we find in
Colorado infected with either of the
above mentioned pests, and persons
selling or offering for sale infested po-
tatoes are subject to a heavy fine in
this state. Call on your county horti-
cultural inspector to pass upon all
shipments of potatoes from California
or Texas before accepting them. The
tuber moth makes small worm holes
from one-quarter to three-quarters Of
an inch in length into the tubers.
