Germany Fails to Reply
to Japan's uItimatum
Through Medium Of u. S.

Declaration Of war between Japan
and Germany 10 hourly expected by
diplomats here.
The German government had made no
reply through the State Department to
the ultimatum of Japan, demanding the
surrender of Kiaochow. when the time
limit had expired at 10 o'clock last
night.
The German embassy here had re-
ceived no notification that q reply had
been transmitted through any other
channel.

the State Department a message to Mr.
Fonikosha, Japanese charge d'a1airs at
Berlin. ordering him to leave the German
capital at am. today II by that hour
he had received no reply from the Ger
man government to the ultimatum. The
Japanese charge was Instructed to leave
the interests of Japan In the hands OF
the American embassy at Berlin.
The next step on the part Of the JAP
anese government, it was generally as
sumed here, would be an attack on Kiao-
chow. A declaration from Toxic Of a
state of war against Germany would not
be unexpected.
In German as well as Japanese circles
here the belief was that Japan would
make the first move. At the japanese
embassy it was reiterated that Japan
would carry out to the letter the terms
of her ultimatum.
The United States, in the role of an in
terested but neutral spectator. was pre-
pared to transmit any communications
from the two governments
Japan's Assurances Credited.
Secretary Bryan announced that the
position of the United States toward the
ultimatum had been made clear in a note
sent two days ago to the Japanese gov.

of policy places on record the expectation
of the United States that in any event
