NEW BRAND REGISTER.
There are. now practically ten thou
sand fewer live stock brands on rec
ord in the department Of agriculture
and dabOr, thaHrNas the .eas january
1, 1914. It will be remembered that
the last legislature passed a. law re-
quiring that all live stock brands
should be re-recorded January l, or
they would be declared .annulled and
cancelled. This was done for. the rea-
sol that there were thousands Of
brands on the record known to be out
of use, and it was. practically impos-
sible for anyone to- secure suitable
brand on account Of connictions.
The law required the department
of agriculture and labor to notify each
holder of a brand by mail at his last
known pOstOfflce address of the
change, also required an advertise.
ment to be inserted in each county of.
fetal paper in the state setting forth
the conditions. There were thausonds
of the letters returned with the state
ment that the address was unknown.
Out of the thirteen thousand brands
there only 1854 that were re-
recorded and there have since that
time been 813 new brands issued, max
ing a total of 1867 brands now of
record in North Dakota. q ,-4t

At the japanese Embassy yesterday
it was explained with regard to the re-
peated suggestions appearing in the press
that the landing of japanese troops in
Chinese territory contiguous to kiaOChow
was not in point Of fact an invasion OF
neutral territory. The japanese position.
as set forth by diplomatic officers. is
that the presence Of German troops and
the German flag in KiaOChOw is an Of
tense to the Republic Of China. which
nation is not in a position to enforce
the removal Of the Kaiser's forces. and
his work has been undertaken by Japan
as a war measure on her own part. and
as a police measure on the part OF
China
Another point explained was the posi-
Dility Of japanese assistance to Great
Britain in case Turkey declares war
against the allies and the Jehad or Holy
War be preached to all the Moslem
peoples. Sometimes less than half Of the
population Of the British Asia possessions
are Moslem. In the event OF a revolt,
Japan's regulars would be sent to the
assistance Of the British army in India.
