London, Aug. lS.--A Paris dispatch
received in London this morning de-
clares authentic information has been
obtained that the Car will at an early
date sign proclamation granting to
the Jews in Russia full civil and 20
litical rights. placing them on the same
footing as the rest OF his subjects.
This information has excited as much
attention here and is regarded fully as
important as the news from the Far
East telling OF Japan's preparations 10
enter the war. The dispatch also an
nounces that the Gar is making ar
rangements to go to the front with his
troops and assume personal command
of Russian military operations in tho
field
The proclamation giving the Jews
unrestricted equality has been preced-
ed by proclamation in which Russian
Poland is guaranteed complete auton-
omy and the right to large measure
of representative government.
These two political reforms an
nounced by the Emperor are said 20
have aroused tremendous national
spirit. Dispatches say that great out
bursts of enthusiasm have greeted the
front.
Huge parades have taken place in
st. Petersburg and in other large cit
les of the empire.
Toxic. Aug. 17-Japan sent an ulti-
matum to Germany Saturday night de-
manding the withdrawal of German
warships from the Orient and the evac-
uation of Kiauchau and giving Ger
many until Saturday. August 23, to
comply with the demand. Otherwise
the ultimatum states that Japan will
take action.
Japan demands that Germany, not
later than Sept. Is, deliver to the Jap
anese authorities. without condition or
consideration the entire leased terri
tory of Kiauchau, with a view to the
eventual restoration of the same to
China.
Treaty provides that whenever, by
attack or action, or any power i'm
perils the peace of eastern Asia, and
either Great Britain or Japan shall be
involved in war on that account,
Great Britain and Japan shall join
forces and fight for peace.
To SAFEGUARD American lntertsts.
American government assured by
Japan that its interests will be safe
guarded. but United States officials
regard ultimatum as one of the grav.
est developments in the war situa.
ton, as it brings the great military
power of the Far East into a range OF
conflict heretofore held within Europe
! The general expectation here is that
the ultimatum will be followed by
war. Takaaki Kato. the Japanese for.
eign minister, simultaneously with the
dispatch OF the ultimatum. conferred
with George w. Guthrie, the Ameri.
can ambass ssador, and made to him a
broad statement calculated to assure
the United States that American in,
terests in the Far East would be safe,
guarded and China's integrity upheld.
The government also notified Count
Won Rex, German ambassador to
Japan, and likewise retarded the time
limit for reply until August 23

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Germanv

Washington, Aug. 20.-Germany's
reply to Japan's ultimatum is awaited
with anxiety in diplomatic quarters.
1t is possible the reply may pass
through American channels of commu-
nication, as that was one of the means
of forwarding Japan's note, owing to
the difficulties of cable communica-
tion. The suggestion is made in Dip
lomatic circles that II Germany with
drew from Kiao-Chow it would present
a new and interesting situation, With
Germany withdrawing. Kiao-Chow
would naturally revert to China and it
would then be incumbent on Japan to
take Kiao-Chow from China in the
same way Germany acquired it.
