 German troops will pass through Brussels today and OH following days and are obliged by circumstances to de- mand from the city lodging, food and supplies. All these matters will be reg ularly arranged through the municipal authorities.
 "I expect the population to conform itself without resistence to these neces- sities of war and particularly to com init no act of aggression against the safety of the troops, and promptly to furnish the supplies demanded. In this case I gave every guarantee for the preservation of the city and the safety of the inhabitants. lf however, there should be. as unfortunately there has been elsewhere. any act of aggression against the soldiers the burning of buildings or explosions of any kind. shall be compelled to take the severest measures"

are lying Tn the harbor of Tsing- Tau and the waters have been mined.
 Coincidentally with Japan's declara- tion of war against Germany, the Brit ish official news bureau announces that the Hungarian govern ment has ordered the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth, now at Tsing- Tau, to disarm and has instructed the crew to proceed to Tien Tsin.
 This apparently eliminates Austria from the conflict in the far east.
 Reports are current that Emperor Francis Joseph Is seriously i'll. These reports have been denied, but they are being reiterated.
 While the Liege forts are said to be holding out. an official statement from the French government tells of the blowing up of Fort Chaudefontaine by the Belgian commander after 1t had been razed by German guns.
 official Russian dispatches claim victory for the Russian forces over three German corps. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Russian army, describes Russian vic tories in east Prussia.

Peace of the far east Is thus in jeopardy.
 Accordingly, our government, and that of his Brittanic Majesty, after full and frank communication with each other, agreed to take such measures as may be necessary for the protec- ton of the general interests, contem- plated in the agreement of alliance, and we on our part being desirous to attain that object by peaceful means comma nded our government to offer with sincerity an advice 10 the im- perial German government. By the last day appointed for the purpose, however, our government failed to receive an answer accepting their ad- vices. It is with profound regret that we, in spite of our ardent devotion to the cause of peace, are thus compelled to declare war especially at this early period of our reign and while we are in mourning for our lamented mother.

CELEBRATE MASSES .0F REQUIEM IN ROME Thousands Pay Tribute Be- fore Altar of Confession

Rome. August 23-Requiem masses were
 celebrated in St. Peter's and in all Cath
 ollie churches in Rome today. Thousands
 visited St. Peters to pay tribute before the altar of confession. under which the
 body of Pope Plus rests.
 The third meeting of the congregation of cardinals was held today to discuss the question of the conclave for the elec- ton of new pope. The coming con elave will resemble that in 1878 which elected Pope Leo. Europe then had been disturbed by the Russo-Turkish war and the treaty of San Stefanl was signed on the day Pope Leo was crowned. Again the nations are at war and it Is believed the present conclave will favor
 the election of political pope as did the 1878 conclave.
 The elimination of cardinals, that
 the most probable candidates for the
 papacy might be listed has been under
 consideration It Is believed hardly pos
 sible that d foreign pops will be chosen
 This removes 19 cardinals from the can
 didacy. and 1t also is considered unlikely
 that the .pontiff will be chosen from
 among cardinals more than 70 years old,
 thus eliminating 9 more, Finally there are five cardinal deacons. who accord ing to tradition. never could be elected.
 Thus the choice would lie among It. some of whom are believed to be obvious ly out of the question. leaving Cardinals Ferraci. Ferrata, Meffi, Gaspari Popili.

American Government Is Asked to Care for Japan Interests in Germany
 During Conflict JAPAN APPROVES
 ATTITUDE OF THE
 UNITED STATES Island Country Promises to Maintain Integrity of China and Eventually to Restore kiauchau to
 China--President Wilson
 to Issue Proclamation

Washington. August .3.--Niscount chinda. Japanesc ambassador here to- day formally notified the United states that Japan had declared wnr on Ger many. The American goscrnment was asked to care for Japan's interests in Germany.
 Viscount Chindn repeated assurnnces recently given by the British govern ment that Japan's activity would he confined to the China seas and eastern Asia.
 The position of the United States, set forth in Secretary Bryan's note of three days ago. has met with Japan's approval. In that communication the United States noted with satisfaetion'' that Japan promised to maintain the integrity of China and eventually restore l>iauchau to China; that Japan sought no additional territory and had pledged herself to main- tain the principle of the "open door in China and equal opportunity for the com mprcial interests of all powers.

UNITED STATES MERELY NEUTRAL OBSERVER

The sole interest of the United States now in the far eastern situation is that of a neutral observer
 Aside from informal verbal exchanges between Vircount Chinda and Secretary Bryan and between American Ambassador Guthrie and the foreign office in Tokio, there Is nothing of record to commit the Japanese to the limited field of hostilities laid down in the British note of last week.
 The impression prevails here among dip omats however, that the statement of Viscount Chinda, taken in connection with the speech In the Japanese Diet last week of Count Okuma, the Japanese premier will bind the Japanese govern ment to the return of Kiauchau tos China and of the limitation of the field Of hostiites.
 The declaration of war by Japan was the chief development of the day here. though dispatches indicating the prepara- tions in Italy for mobilization caused discussion. Many officials here do not conceal their belief that Italy is pre-
