EOREST FIRE
DAYTON, OREGON, AUGUST21,1914
EDITOR VISITS HOG RANCH
Three Million Feet of Lumber in
Logs is Destroyed
Ths forest fire that has been raging
in the woods back of the Carlton Lum­
ber Company's camp is at the present
time under control. Word was receiv­
ed in Carlton during the early part of
the week that if the weather remain­
ed the earn», and the wind did not rise
there would bo no more danger of the
tire spreading.
The fire started from a blown out
shot in a stump where the men had
been doing some blasting, As there
were two more shots in the slump the
men in charge were unable to get to
the fire until it had gained sufficient
headway Pt be beyond control.
The report that camp No. 1 of th«
Carlton Lumber Company had been
burned, and that camp No. 2 win in
danger, is false, So far there has been
no dam ige done to either of the camps
and all of the machinery and equip*
ment is still free of the the. '1 here
has been about three million feet ot
lumber in the logs consumed by the

ULTIMATUM SENT BY
JAPAN TO GERMANY
Demands Withdrawalof German
Warships From Orient and
Evacuation of Kiau-Chau.
Tokio.—Japan sent an ultimatum to
Germany Saturday night at 8 o'clock,
demanding the withdrawal of German
warships from the orient and the eva­
cuation of Kiau-Chau and giving Ger
many until Sunday, August 23, to com
ply with the demand. Otherwise, the
ultimatum states, Japan will take ac­
tion.
The general expectation here Is that
the ultimatum will be followed by war.
Inspired utterances express regret
nt the Inability to maintain neutrality,
but say that Great Britain, the nlly of
Japan, Is compelled to defend herself
against the aggressions of Germany.
.Moreover, it is pointed out that Ger­
many Is making preparations day and
night nt Klan t’hau, where it is storing
provisions, while Its warships are
scouring the seas ot eastern Asia to
the great detriment of commerce, and
that its converted crullers arc seizing
English merchant vessels. 8uch ac­
tions, it Is argued, are directly calcu
lated to. disturb the peace of eastern
Asia and accordingly, after .full ami
frank communication with Great Brit­
ain, Japan has found herself compel­
led to send an ultimatum to Germany.
AGGRESSIVE MOVE BEGUN
French Offensive Movement Started
/flong the Line From Sarrebroug.
Paris.—Official dispatches announce
that the French offensive movement
began in great force along the line
from Sarrebroug, on the Franco-Ger­
man frontier to LunoviUe, in the de­
partment of Muerthe et-Moselle.
"Blamont, 17 miles east of Lune-
ville, Circy, still further east, and
Avrlcourt, occupied by a Bavarian
army corpa, were stormed by our
troops,” the announcement continues.
“The Germans are in full retreat, hav­
ing left many dead, wounded and pris­
oners. The French continue to ad­
vance to upper Vosges, the. Germans
giving way before them. In upper
Alsace we have retaken Thann. Pris­
oners affirm that General von Delm-
ling, commanding the Fifteenth army
corps at Thann, was wounded.

The United States, it became known
after Baron Chinda’s call on Mr. Bry­
an, does not Intend to be drawn in
any way into the controversy, regard
ing it as a matter purely between Ger
many and Japan. The American gov­
ernment considers satisfactory the
promise of Japan of "eventual restora
tion to China” of the territory of
Kiau-Chau.
GERMANS MOVE ON
CAPITAL OF BELGIUM
Invading Uhlans Suffer Great Loss.
Antwerp.—Stories were published
here of the frightful losses the Ger­
man Uhlans, the kaiser’s finest cav­
alry, have sustained since they invad
ed Belgium. Of 5000 of them who i
took part in the battle of Haelen It;
was declared only 1000 escaped alive
and unhurt.
London.—A Reuter dispatch from
Brussels says: "The seat of govern­
ment has been moved to Antwerp.
Measures have been taken for the de-
tense of Brussels because of the ap-
proacb of German cavalry.”
The Belgian ministers of war, n-
nance and foreign affairs and the
French and Russian ministers to Bel-
plum have left Brussels for Antwerp.
Feinting with their right at Diest
and diverting to some extent the at­
tention of the Belgian field army cen­
tered on Louvain, the German were
reported as marching directly on Brus­
sels by way of Huy and Jodoigne. This
raiding force is believed to consist
mainly of cavalry and artillery, in-
eluding the much-feared motor quick-
firers.
Trenches are being thrown up fev­
erishly in the environs of the city,
while exhortations in large, black type
are being placarded right and left,
calling on the inhabitants for their
own sakes not to engage in any hos-
tile acts in the event of German oc-
tupation.
On the line of battle in Belgium,
Jermany and France, despite the re­
peated repulses which they have suf­
fered, the German battalions continue
to move forward for a decisive en­
counter. The invaders are sweeping
along the valley of the Meuse, south
of Namur and have reached Dinant,
where part of a strong French force,
which is established behind that town,
took the offensive and defeated them.
