TONIGHT.

How many theatres, all showing the
same production, can New York City
support? This is a question What
someone with bent for figures ought
to answer, because up TO date II looks
as though this is really unlimited.
At present there are nine theatres in
the vicinity OF New York City show
ing the wonderful photodrama, "Traf-
fic in Souls" simultaneously. In
other words, the aggregate number OF
people to see this wonderful photo
drama is over 10000 daily This is
the first time in history that II has
been necessary for any production TO
open in this number of theatres, stimuli
taneously In order to supply the de-
mand that Traffic in Souls" has Gre
ated. and never in the history of the
atricals has this been done before.
I'D to date, estimating roughly, the
total number OF people who have seen
Traffic in Souls" is in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, or nearly one-third
of the population of New York. This
photodrama is now being shown in
forty cities throughout the United
States and in nine theatres in New
York, and II is estimated that 100000
people a day are now viewing this
wonderful lesson and portrayal OF the
great evil, the white slave traffic.
With the power to do good that this
picture has it will not take long to
stamp out this great evil, and the vice
crusaders throughout the country have
a wonderful aid in the form of TRAFFIC
in Souls"
Several misleading statements have
been circulated to the effect that the
sensational photodrama, Traffic IN
Souls" was about to be stopped by
the police department OF this city
These statements are far from the
truth. inasmuch as this wonderful
production was passed by the Nation
al Board of Censors and has received
| the favorable endorsement of the lead
ing vice crusaders in New York.
There have been many ipitation'
! of Traffic in Souls" put on the mar
ket, which have not gone to the trou
BILE of making their story moral one
and these limitations are the cause o
Misrepresentation and rumors tina
were circulated in this regard.

epidemic of threshing machine explo-
sions and fires. Scores of such in

JAPAN DECLARESWAR
WILL TAKE AGGRESSIVE ACTION
ON THE LAND AND ON SEA
AGAINST GERMANY.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN TOXIC
Austria May Keep Out of lmbrogiio
by Disarming Cruisers at Using
Tau-Presiden Wilson's Policy
Pleases the Japanese.

Toxic, Aug. 20. The emperor sf
Japan today declared war upon Ger
many.
This action was taken at the expi-
ration of the time limit of Japans ul-
timatum to Germany demanding the
surrender of Kiao Chow.
The Japanese government has or
dered the beginning of operations on
land and sea.
The imperial rescript was issued this
evening. 1t officially inaugurates hos
tilities in the far east as a result of
Germany's failure to reply to the Jap
anese ultimatum.
Cheering crowds assembled today
before the buildings occupied by the
apartment of foreign affairs and the
administration Of the navy. This eve
ming there were lantern professions
through the streets. The popular man
ifestations, however, do not approach
the enthusiasm which preceded the
war with Russia.
Ambassador Gets Passports.
Count Won Rex, the German ambas-
sador, has been handed his passports.
He probably will leave for America,
either on the Minnesota, sailing Au-
gust 81, or the Manchuria, which de-
parts August 29. George w. Guthrie
the American ambassador, will repre-
sent Germany.
The diet has been convoked in spe-
cial session for September 3.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Eiiz-
abeth, which latterly was at Using
Tau, the seaport of Kiao Chow is re-
ported to have sailed. She probably
will go to neutral port and disarm.
1t is believed this action will keep
Austria out of the war in the orient,
although unforeseen circumstances
may force Japan to change this policy
No action yet has been taken relative
to Austria, and the foreign office has
explained that Japan will remain
friendly unless Austria adopts an at
titude which it regards as offensive
Wilson Policy Pleases.
1t is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man railroad in Shantung to Amer
lea. Toxic believes, however, that the
United States, pursuing the policy of
neutrality outlined by President VII
sons announcement of neutrality has
greatly pleased the Japanese.

this battle will develop within three

U. S. ATTITUDE ON JAP
ULTlMATUM TO KAISER
Demand That Germany Restore kiao
Chow Territory Is Taken as Main
tafnino lnteuritv of China

Chow Territory is Taken as Main
tanning Integrity of China.
Washington.-Japan has received
from the United States a formal dec.
laration of policy bearing on the de-
livery by Japan to Germany of the
ultimatum demanding the surrender
by the latter country of the territory
of Kiao Chow.
The American governments atti-
tude was outlined in reply to assur-
ances which Foreign Minister Kato
had given to Ambassador Guthrie, &C
cording TO advices from Toxic. to the
effect that the integrity of China
would be preserved.
While regretting that any differ
ences had arisen between Japan and
Germany, the United States pointed
out that it must refrain from express
ing any opinion on the merits of the
ultimatum, especially since the ulti-
matum might lead to war and it was
the avowed policy of this government
to maintain neutrality in every phase
of the European conflict.
The United States took occasion
however, in a friendly and diplomatic
way. TO place on record its understand
ing of the situation, as follows:
First, that Japans purpose was moi
TO seek territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT ir
China.
Secondly, that Japan had promised
70 restore the territory of Kiao Chow
to China, maintaining the integrity o
that republic, and acting only in &C
cordance with the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, one of whose objects is th'
preservation of the commercial inter
ests of all powers in China and thu
principle of equal opportunity to all.
Thirdly, that in case of serious dis
orders or disturbances in the interio
of China growing out of the unsettled
state of affairs In the far east, Japal
would, is a matter of course, consul
the United States before taking an
steps beyond boundaries of the terri
tory of Kiao Chow"
