Independent War to
Be Waged by China
By associated Press

Peking, Tuesday, Aug. 14.-(De-
layed)-China's declaration of war
on Germany and Austria Hungary
beginning at 10 a. m. to-day and otl-
er documents relating to the conflict
do not mention the association of the
Chinese republic with the entente
powers. They indicate that China's
action will be entirely Independent.
The declaration of war aroused
little excitement in Peking or in other
North China cities, the long discus
sion of the question having discount
ed its effect.
The Netherlands minister to China
to-day took over the Austrian inter-
ests and received the arms of the
Austrian guard. The doors of the
Deutsche Asiatische bank have been
sealed.
Chinese troops at Tieu Tsin took
over the Austrian concessions and
the German Bank and German bar
racks there without incident.
Regulations issued to-day by the
Chinese government permit the de-
parture of Germans and Austriaps
within five days.

This theory was strengthened to-

the breaking of the bottles would
have ignited the powder.

have liked to have averted,
They must now be sent, and 1t is
expected they will be met diplomat
ically, but firmly, The general belief
that the Pope was moved to make
his peace proposals by appeals from
Austria affords basis for the further
belief that Austria is in a desperate
condition, and that this may lead
to developments even more favor
able to the allies than obvious con-
ditions are known to be,
To some extent this serves to coun-
teract the feeling of disappointment
occasioned by the first announcement

The Popes proposal, while accept
ed as sincere and as having been
prompted by humane considerations
only runs absolutely counter to all
the President has said since war
was declared concerning the pur-
poses and the duty of this nation,
and counter to all expressed convic-
tions on the necessity of eliminating
German autocracy as a power in the
world il peace is to be made per-
manent.
In view of these circumstances, the
prevalent opinion is that the Prcsi-
dent can make but one reply to the
communication received from the
Vatican to-day, and that reply
statement that the United States will
continue the war until German mill
tarism has been crushed and the
principles of democracy established
as the dominating force in world
politics.

Suggests an Armistice
Receipt by the State Department
of the note from Pope Benedict was
the sole development in the situation
created by the Pope's peace move.
While the note is to be given the
most careful and the most sympa-
thetic consideration by the President
and his advisers there is not believ-
ed to be the slightest likelihood that
it will change the attitude of this
nation or of it's allies.
The most vigorous prosecution OF
the war to accomplish the purpose
so clearly set forth by the President
In this country and by the British
premier on behalf of the allies, is
generally accepted here as of great
er importance to humanity in general
than could be any immediate suspen-
sion of hostilities that would leave
Germany free to prepare for another
outbreak against civilization.
Comment in official circies is that
what the Pope proposes is an ar
mistice and not a lasting peace.
The re- establishment of condit-
ions as they were before the war
would simply mean that Germany
would be given time to recover from
the effects of the present struggle,
and when recovered would be ready
to renew the strife. possibly upon
more terrific scale than at present
