a THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21. 1914 JAPANESE OUTLINE THEIR GRIEVANCES German Base in Chinese Ter ritory Declared to Menace Security of East. TRADE HELD DEMORALIZED foreign Office Gives Out Formal Statement of Reasons for Ulti matum History of Acqui sition Is Reviewed. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Interfer ence by German cruisers with the ship ping of Japan's ally. Great Britain, with the seizure of Japanese goods in German bottoms and the consequent grave dislocation of Japanese trade, are the principal reasons set forward by Japan in explanation of the ulti matum delivered to Germany last Sun day. Cable dispatches have contained a. brief outline of the Japanese griev ances, but it was not until today that the full text of the statement issued by the Japanese foreign office bearing upon this subject became available. This document said: "From the beginning of hostilities between England and Germany, the latter has been bending all her ener gies to strengthening all the fortifica tions at Kiau-Chau, even to the extent of enforcing labor upon them by the Chinese coolies. Trade In Pacific Demoralized. "The German squadrons station ed in the Far Bast have been making IncesBant appearances In China waters, making Kiau-Chau their base and In co-operation with German con verted cruisers threatening and inter fering with British shipping and com merce, thereby placing in jeopardy to a considerable extent the commercial interests in general of Great Britain. "In the meantime, the above action on the part of Germany has not failed to greatly demoralize the trade inter ests of Japan by obstructing and dis turbing her shipping routes and com merce. In fact the whole Eastern com mercial world has been thrown into a state of utmost uneasiness. Some of the Japanese import and export cargoes on board the German merchant vessels have been requisitioned. Bane Regarded as Menace. "It is clear that unless Germany has a strong base at Kiau-Chau the condi tions such as above outlined could never have been produced. It is this possession of Kiau-Chau that is solely responsible for it all: It is the strong est weapon in the hands of Germany so far as the Far East is concerned. "The history of the seizure of the place by Germany and her conduct pre ceding and after her intervention, in conjunction with Russia and France, after the Chino-Japanese war, show that It is absolutely necessary to elim inate .such possession completely if Japan is to restore immediately com plete peace in the Far East in accord ance with the terms of the Anglo Japanese treaty. "If Japan is to look far enough into the future and provide measures strong enough to insure abiding peace in Eastern Asia, she must realize that a strong military base in the hands of a hostile militant power, right in the heart of the country, cannot In itself fail to be a menacing power." matter what action Japan may take as a result of her ultimatum, the Chi nese Renublic will preserve an abso lutely passive attitude. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Official here were silent today with reference to the inquiry of the Chinese govern ment as to whether the United States would undertake the transfer of Kiau Chau from Germany to China. China Sounds America. It was predicted in official circles, however, that the United States would not assent to the proposal unless It had previously been assured that such a course would be accepted by both Japan and Great Britain. It was believed here that China's Inquiry was made to sound the United States Government on behalf of Ger many. SEAMEN FACE POVERTY CRIPPLED SHIPPING LEAVES LARGE NUMBER IDLE.

But China has informed the United States that no Ever Since August 3 Ranks of Jobless Sallora Are Increasing on New York Waterfront. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Crippling of commerce by. the European war leaves thousands of seamen and longshoremen idle about the New York and Hoboken docks today. According to the Rev Edward M. Deems, assistant superin tendent of the Seamen's Church Insti tute, at 25 South street, the situation among sailors is growing worse every day. "Ever since August 3," said Dr. Deems, "our dormitory has averaged 80 per cent full, which is very much higher than the average for July and the usual Summer average. At pres ent, all the men are paying for their rooms as they have recently been paid off. but it is doubtful if all of them will be able to tide over the depres sion In shipping." He then pointed out that the condi tion of the longshoremen was much worse, because they live from hand to mouth at all times, and, therefore, are the first to feel any reduction in ship ping. "As for the general situation around the docks here," he continued, "there are three tendencies which are already very prominent. First is the probable transfer to the American flag of American-owned ships. The Interna tional Merchant Marine and many other companies may adopt this course. "In the second place, there is the elimination of the so-called 'mixed crews and the straigntening-out oi nationalities. As soon as a ship reaches port, her captain immediately pays off any members of his crew who are not of the same nationality as the regis tration of the boat. This is done to prevent friction among the crew and other complications. "I have watched the steady accumu lation of sailors here. Look out be yond the Battery, and you will see the Immediate reason. There are already t least 20 or 30 tramps and freight ers anchored out mere, witn oniy a donkey-engine man and a sailor or two, instead of a full crew. Every day duple of ships join that dead fleet. and the crowd of jobless sailors out side here is larger by a few scores." KAISER SPURS HIS TROOPS Glorious Deeds of German Sword Recalled by Emperor. LONDON, Aug. 20. A wireless mes sage from Berlin tells of the German Emperor's farewell address to the First Regiment of Foot GuardB. They had assembled, the Emperor said, to pray that German arms might be blessed, so that they should be able to keep flying the flag of the father land over the envy of its enemies, even if this entailed the sacrificing of the last drop of German blood. The sword, which he had allowed to remain In its sheath decade after de cade, and which he now drew, must decide MEXICO CITY GIVES SELF TO GARRANZA Populace Cheers Lustily When Rebel Chieftain and His Forces Enter Capital. PARADE LINE SIX MILES Ovation Given Supreme Ruler of Revolution as He Rides on Superb Steed Through Streets and Takes Keys of City. MEXICO CITY. Aug. 20. General Venustiano Carranza. the supreme chief of the Mexican revolution, and from to day provisional president of the re public, entered the capital at noon. Crowds on the streets gave him an enthusiastic reception. It is estimated that more than 150, 000 persons crowded the line of march of the new president and his followers which extended from the village of Atzapotzalco to the national palace, a distance of six miles. There was not the slightest disorder as General Car ranza and his staff passed through the cheering crowds which showered them with flowers and confetti and from which came cries of "Long live Carran za; long live the constitutional govern ment." Troops Form Early. At dawn today the troops began forming at close intervals in a double line along the entire distance over which the victorious leader was to pass. Back of the troops were ranged the sightseers, and on every roof of the balcony were spectators. It was near noon when General Car ranza, mounted on a superb horse and accompanied by his staff and the gen erals of the northwest, the central and the northwest division of the army, left Atzcapotzalco, escorted by a squadron of cavalry and the fourth Sonora bat talion of infantry, which acted as the guard of honor. On reaching the city limits the column was met by the May or and the City Council of the capital, who delivered the keys of the city to General Carranza. Cannon Roar Welcome. After this ceremony the cavalcade proceeded to the historic Chapultepec castle, where two batteries of artillery fired a salute in honor of the new chief executive. Here the parade turned down the Pazo de la Reforma avenue, which was designed by the un fortunate Empress Carlotta and which leads from the castle to the national palace. Along this section or the line or march were grouped hundreds of school children dressed in white, each carry ing a bouquet and a Mexican flag. As Carranza passed they sang a hymn written for the occasion, entitled 'Union and Liberty." When the procession reached the National Theater it halted that the chief executive might receive at the hands of a delegation of workmen the flag which President Madero dropped at that very spot on the fateful February 9, 1K13. the date of the Huer-ta-Diaz uprising. Cairaiua Cheered Heartily. Passing down the Avenida San Fran cisco, the crowds gave the new Presi dent an ovation. This avenue leads to the historic Plaza de la Constitution, the Cathedral and the National and Municipal palaces, forming Its sides. Here an immense throng had been eathered since early in the morning and cheered General Carranza as he passed through the main entrance of the National Palace. A few moments after he entered he apepared on the balcony under the liberty bell and addressed the crowd, promising a new era of real constltu- Final Cleanup of Our Boys' Medium Weight Suits Suits Selling at $9.00 to $10.50 At $6.45 And $11.00 to $14.50 Suits At $7.45 In Sizes for Boys From 6 to 18 Years In this sale you will find suits of worsteds, homespuns. new English novelties, in blue mixtures, grays, tans, browns and black and white checks.

Every ship that sails out of New York for Eng lish ports these days sails light, though England is begging for food. The liner Celtic left today with 5000 tons of foodstuffs in her hold when she might have carried 16,000 tons. The Kroonland left the other day with 4500 and room for 8000 more. The Adriatic. St. Paul, New York. Philadelphia and others of the 13 ships of the Interna tional Mercantile Marine which have departed for England since the war started have ridden high In the water byecause of their lightness of cargo. Other lines tell the same story. Paradoxically the storage warehouses In and around New York are choked with supplies for which England Is of fering fancy prices. Credits Not Established. The reason why none of this food Is going to England, officials of the trans-Atlantic lines assert, is that American shippers have no assurances that their drafts will be honored in England promptly and are unwilling to send their products abroad with notn intr more tangible than a hope that they will receive prompt payment for their goods. Tons and tons or mer chandise, these officials say, are held In check against the time when arrange ments will be made to enable purchas ers to pay promptly in gold for Ameri can supplies. Although in need of foodstuffs Eng land is well supplied with wheat, al most oversupplled, according to esti mates of the International Mercantile Marine. This, they say, is due to the diversion to British ports of largo car goes in bottoms bound to Continental ports at the outbreak of the war. Sugar la Allien Needed. Consequently little grain Is going to Great Britain, the largest single ship ment recently being 2S00 tons on the Kroonland. Sugar Is the one article Great Britain needs badly. For the first time in many years English mer chants are Importing direct from New York. The bulk of England's sugar came, before the war, from Germany and Central Europe. Nearly 1500 tons were on the Celtic sailing today and 1350 tons were aboard the Kroonland. Other vessels in addition have carried large consignments. Nearly all this sugar is taken from the domestic markets. WOMEN'S PLANS APPROVED President Likes Idea of Peace Pa rade and Xo Speaking. NEW YORK., Aug. 20.
