TOICIO, Aug. SI. Jnpnn la quietly
preparing for tho oventunlltles, fol
lowing Uio expiration next Sunday of
hor uHltuntutn to Germany, demand
ing tho withdraw nl of German war
ships from tho orient and tho evacua
tion of Kino-Chow.
Tho strictest prohibition has been
plncod on tho publication of any In
formation concerning the movomonts
of Japan ships and troops. All cor
respondence la censored and the news
papers arc closely watched.
Tlic activities at the German em
bassy where personal effects arc be
ing packed for shipment, are the.only
Indication of what tho answer ot
Germany will be. Meanwhile, not
withstanding the most eonsatlonal re
ports of the treatment of Japanese In
Germany there Is no evidence of anti
German feeling here. On the c on
trary, the authorities have given not
ice that nil Germans remaining li
Japan must bo treated courteously.
Tho war and navy departments
are proarlng for a move on Klao
Chow whore, contrary to current rc
Krts, the fortifications are really for
midable. Since tho outbreak of tho
Kuropean war thousands of Chinese
coolies have been employed In
strengthening these defenses. It Is
licllovcll hero that tho taking of Kino
Chow will not be an easy task.
Tho Japanese newspapers and lead
lug Japanese express surprleo at the
American press that express sinister
motives by Japan In sending an ulti
matum to Germany.
Prime Minister Okutna and Foreign
Minister Okata havo made repeated
nnd categorical denials that Japan
has designs on Samoa and the Philip
pines or any other territory.
Itnron Kiychi ShibiHtiwn, president

of Uio snmo nrgngnization and pres

SAN FHANCIKCO. Cal., Aug. 21.
- The United Slates torpedo-boat

her mission will be to see thai Iho
Iramp steamer Mazatlan, uw under
the .Mexican flag, hut owned by the
German shipping fitm of Frederick
Jebsen & k'o., does not put to hci
with 500 tons of sacked coal, which
she still has on board.
Tho Mazatlan made informal ap
plication for clearance papers yes
terdny and wus refused. F.vidence
taken before Collector Ihivis showed
that the coal was (ho property of the
Gentian government and had been
loaded aboard the' Mazatlan by di
rection of Dr. Simon Heimer, surgeon
of tho German cruiser Leipzig, for
transfer to the Leipzig at sea.
Today the Mazatlan again applied
for clearance pavcrs, this time on
verbal assurances that the ownership
of tho coal hud changed hands. It
is now supimscd to ho the property of
F. G. Brue, said (o he a Mexican
commission merchant, nnd ostensibly

action is taken to protect Jim fish,
II. M. LtirnsleH. nn Asloiin, Ore,
fishciuian testified today, before the
Federal Industrial Kclallons com
mission.
"The Columhhi liver Is Iho only
stream in tho country du which pro
tccl'ryo Inws are carried out on do
slruclixc lines,' ho declared. "Un
less radical change's arc uuidn soon
(ho fishing industry wilt ho mined,
"Fishing below tidewater ai)d wild
stationary appliances lire tho two
principal abuses (hat should bo cor
rected, Tho annual yield of salmon
from Iho stream should bo about
11011,000 pounds. The present ield Is
about 300,000 pounds, If proper
protection were thrown around the
fish the yield would double iu five
years. Il would ho a good thing to
prohibit fishing iu the stream foe a
time, aq once was done in Alaskan
wnters, until more fis can bo bred,"
Mr. Lorustcit said the lavs were
opsrate.l against, the fishermen for
(he benefit of trappers, seinoYs mid
others with big interests nloug the

"Certainly (his situation is world v
of the most searching investigation,"
Chairman Walsh said. "I shall ask
that it be looked into cnrcfullv."
