FROM MONDAYS DAILY
Tokio, Aug. IT—The Japan
ese government has sent an
- nitiinatim to Germany demand
nig that she withdraw all her
battleships from the Orient and
.evacuate Kiao-ohou within the
' next week. In ease thi* is not
Mono Japan will declare war
next Sunday. Angus* 53. There
no expectation on the part of
!ihe government here that Ger
many will comply with the re
ipiesl, and preparations to take
the offensive with the full war
■ force of the country, both army
and »avy, are now under way.
This i< taken to indicate that
Japan has decided that the
time has com© for her to inter
-:'ere. and the price with Eng
land, apparently. js Germany *
possessions in the Orient.
Notice of Japan's intention was
sent to Berlin via Sweden and
also served on Germany's rep
resentative at Takio. Botli
Engiand and Germany have
been making strong bids of late
for the friendship of Japan, and
apparently England has made
the best offer, for with Eng
land friendly, Japan will be able
to hold whatever she may got
possession of, while on the
other hand, Germany’s support
would be more of a detriment
than a benefit to Japan at this
time.
Paris. Aug. IT—It is estimated
that not less than fiv© millions
of men are now gathered and
confronting each other in Bel
gium and on the German
French frontier. Being afraid
to risk a general engagement
with the allied forces of Eng
land. Belgium and Prance, the
'Germans turned south at Na
mur and are now in the valley
of the Mens© above that place,
their advance having been
checked by a series of sharp
engagements in ‘he neighbor
hood of Dinant, in which the
Belgian ,nd French force* were
generally victorious, and the
latter hold all the passe* in the
Vosgas mountains, thus pre
venting German rienforcemenfs
reaching thir army at Din
ant. France is rushing forward
iroops to a.-sist those now con
fronting the German army, and
it is believed the Briti-h forces
.at Namur with whatever Bel
gium can mass will attack the
Germans from the rear, while
the French will as um the of
fensive on their front. Thus
will be seen there ig every
probability that a general en
gagement will take place with
in a day or two, as the allies
must strike at once before the
Germans can bring up additin
ai troops.
Rome. Aug. IT—A naval bat
tle between French and Aus
trian warship* i* reported from
the Adriatic. Fishing vessels
running for cover report the
Ggh'.b ut fail to state the num
ber of vessels engaged,
Falmouth, Aug. IT—The
American cruisers Tennessee
and North Carolina arrived at

YESTERDAY'S WAR NEWS
Vienna, Aug. IT—'The Auslri-,
>n government ha* asked per
mi'-ion of Italy to march foilr
army corp* through Northern
Italy on their wa*,- to attack
France, and the Italian govern
ment ha* refused to grant the
permission.
Rome, Aug. 16—The Italian
government notified the Aus
trian government that, under j
no consideration would it allow
Austria’^ army to cro** their
territory, arid stated that any
violation of the neutrality Hal'
ha* declared won),] result in a
declaration of war by Italy o i
Austria if the latter country
persisted. It is understood that
Austria ha* four or five fu|l j
■ rrny corps re idy on the border^
to start the campaign. Italy has
almost that many within strik
ing distance and the probabili
ties are a battle will be fought
within a day or two if Austria
follows the program she has
outlined.
Brussels, Aug. iO—For the
time being at least, tins city
seems to be free from fur.'he.’
attack by the Gorman troops.
Saturday a murderous artillery
lire was poured into the Bel
gian fortifications for hours
and then the Kaiser’s troops
attempted to carry them at the
point of the bayonet, but were,
driven hack in disorder. These
tactics were tried against the
entire Belgian line which had
been raised to stop the German
advance, and the failure of the
German troops to carry it, re
sulted in a change in the Ger
man plans, and the greater
number of their troops with
drew, and passing Namur arc
now in the upper valley of the
Meuse, where it is reported a
general engagement is being
fought between them and the
French. The German and Bel
gian aeroplanes did good work
scouting in the fight and pre
vented any surprises by either
side A German aeroplane was
winged by the Belgian sharp
shooters and brought down in
side their lines.
Namur, Aug. ill—Five non
: combatants were killed in flic
j center of this c ity yesterday
when German aviators dropped
[bombs from aeroplanes. The
[theory that aeroplanes are an
!actual menace except as scouts
is being pretty well exploded in
the present war. They have
been able to do very little dam
age, and this attack shows
| they are unable to inflict any
material damage to substantial
j buildings, while a rifle bullet
will put them out of business.
Berlin, Aug. 10—Germany
ha5 formally notified France
and Belgium that hereafter all
civilians who interfere in the
least with the German advance
will be shot.
