WaahlarfrOB, Aug-. 31. Tha Unit ad
tetM will kaap hands off la tha far
st situation, It was loarned from
high administration sourcas today.
Toklo, Aug. 21. Japan was
fully prepared today to strike hard
and swiftly against German power
In the orient in the event of a re
jection of the mikado's ultimatum
requiring the surrender of Kiao
Chao.
The government was taking
pains to emphasize its friendship
for the United States. Govern
ment newspapers were instructed
to "play up" the official denial
that the mikado contemplated ter
ritorial acquisitions in Samoa.
Despite the denial of any Japanese
deslKnn on German Samoa, word waa
received that the colonial government
there had transferred its treasury from
Apia tPago I'ago, an American pos
session. No Intimation had been re
ceived concerning the probable nature
of Germany's reply to the Japanese
ultimatum, but It was thought signifi
cant that a brisk packing of luggage
was Jn progress at the German em
bassy here.
The bulk of Germany's naval
strcriKth in oriental watcia, it was
leurnJ, was in the vicinity of the
Murshail Islands, threatening to Inter-i
tupt the trade route between the Unit
ed Status and the far east.
The importation of European mer
chandise into China having practically
ceased, Japanese business Interests
were trying to enlist American co
operation in extending the two coun
tries' trade there.
Receipt of a Chinese note asking
America to act as trustee ror Kiao
Chao province was officially disclaimed
but It was apparent that the adminis
tration knows of China s, desires and
lntonds to remain aloof unless sucn
action Is. geno-ally requested.
President Wilson was not expected
to authorise a flat rejection of China's
proposal, but it was generally believed
lie would set conditions which would
not bo met. If the president considers
the proposition at all It probably will
be necessary ror Japan, Germany and.
China to agree In writing to some plan
for avoiding hostilities. It waa not
believed here that Japan would consent
to any such proposition, even If Ger
many were willing.
A resolution atatlng that America,
would not view, with indifference an.
Interference with the present terri
torial status duo of China or any
change In the present occupation of the
Pacific Islands was Introduced in the
senate today by Senator Gallinger,. He
asked that the resolution be referred to
the committee on "resolutions.

AUSTRIAN ARTILLERY LEAVING FOR SERVIAN FRONTIER
GERMANY'S PLACE IN THE SUN
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There is a- passion for progress in
Germany. It is the home of original
thinkers. There the application Of in
tellectuality to material problems has
amazed the world. German philoso
phers long dominated the field of pure
reason even before Prussian armies
welded together the minor states and
created a nation in a form worthy of
the aspirations of the inhabitants.
Science has been given a new meaning
by Germans and a new field of opera
tion. The German universities have
become beacon lights in human prog
ress. In no department of science
have they failed 'to acquire knowledge
and us It for the uplift of the race.
Out of Germany, too, have come some
of the most powerful arguments and
capable and eloquent advocates of
democracy and liberal theories of gov
ernment. It would be fair to say that
no nation, unless it be the United
States, has contributed so much to the
progress of the world in the last half
century as Germany.
It is a tragedy that the war drums
now summon the energies of so great
a people and martial law deflects their
activities. It is a pity that Germany's
great thinking machines are being
made targets for bullets. There is a
prayer from all the world that, what
ever doom the war may sound, it wtll
not dry the wells whence such a flow
of useful arts has come. Civilization
can survive the loss of a great man;
it staggers when a great people, among
whom art and Industry and culture
have flourished, are humiliated, de
stroyed as a nation, or manacled by
political shackles which hamper their
influence and atrophy their mental
achievement.
Germany's place In the Bun must not
be blotted out; it cannot be. Indeed,
a Germany relieved of militarism, free
to advance in the peaceful arts, would
push its commercial and intellectual
frontiers around tha globe. It has
done so already in spite of armies. If
romance belongs to France, Germany
in material achievements has been the
United States of Europe. Its thinkers
in many ways have dominated modern
thought. One of the chief assets of
the world is at stake in the tltanio
contest.
Friends Intercede
For Convicted Pair
A petition purporting to be signed
by 85 Sellwood women asking that Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Buchanan, who were
convicted a week ago of beating their
9-year-old son unmercifully, be shown
leniency, was offered to Miss Emma
Butler of the Juvenile court this morn
ing. The Buchanans appealed from the
sentence of 10 days' imprisonment im
posed on each by Municipal Judge
Stevenson, but the transcript of the
appeal has not yet reached County
Clerk Coffey's office. The petitioners
were advised to wait until Circuit
Judge Morrow, who Is handling crim
inal cases, returns from vacation, and
left with the Intention of filing the
petition at that time. The Juvenile
court is not a party to the case as it
was brought by the Humane society.

Auch aua Deutschland kamen elnige

dass, welches Verderben aer Krieg

Charging that the city council had
been unfair to his company in not
awarding It contracts for street work
when Its bids had been the lowest. L
N. Day of the Oregon Independent
Paving company appeared before the
city commissioners this morning and
gave some information as to altered
methods of -paving companies to induce
property-owners to petition for their
particular type of pavement. His
charges of unfairness and of strange
coincidences caused several tilts be
tween him and Commissioners Brew
ster and Dieck.
Mr. Day stated that a large major
ity of the petitions specifying soma
certain type of pavement were circu
lated by paving companies interested,
and not by property-owners. He said
that signatures were secured through
promises of rebate and other represen
tations. His plea was that the coun
cil should be the Judge of a class of
pavement to be laid, and not the paving
companies. ,
Explanations Hot Satisfactory.
Day pointed out that on five streets
where his company had submitted the
lowest bid the bids were rejected. He
said that in some instances his prices
were remarkably low. Partial expla
nations of the council's action were
made, but were not satisfactory t0
Other charges were made, and Com
missioner Brewster stated that he re
sented any charge or insinuation that
the council had been "underhanded" In
its actions. Commissioner Dieck also
retorted that he resented the charges.
ana it was only when Mayor Albee in
terposed that harmony was restored.
Mr. Day said the treatment of con
tractors such as his company had re
ceived is not that which would war
rant fair and open treatment in return.
He asked whether It was still neces
sary to get petitions signed by property-owners
before a contract for -work
could be secured as was the practice
in former years.
Wants Council to Decide. v
At this. Mayor Albee asked him if
he did net believe that petitions should
be granted when they were signed by
the majority of property-owners on a
street, and if property-owners should
not be allowed to have what they
wanted to pay for. 1
Mr. Day replied that it was the busi

According to Mayor Albee the plan ,
