DEMANDS WITHDRAWAL OF QER.
MAN WARSHIPS.
GERMANS PUSHING FORWARD
attlt of Liege Again In Progress
German Advance Is Being
Greatly Retarded,
Western Ncwipnpcr Union Nowb Bervlco.
Toklo. Japan sent nn ultlnuttiiin to
Germany Saturday night, demanding
the withdrawal of Gorman warships
from the orient and tlio evacuation of
Klau Clinti and giving Oorniany until
Bun day, August 23, to comply with the
demand. Otherwise tho ultimatum
states, Japan will take action. Tho
general expectation hero Is thnt tho
ultimatum will bo followed by war.
Taltakl Kato, tho Japanese foreign
minister, simultaneously with tho dis
patch of tho ultimatum, conferred
with George W, Guthrie, tho Amorlean
ambassador, and made to him a brond
statement calculated to assure thn
United States that American Interests
in the far east would bo safeguarded
and tbo integrity of China uphold.
London. Pushing forward by mere
weight of numbers, the German ad
vanco across Belgium is Hlowly but
steadily proceeding, and so must come
In contact with tho allied nrmlcs,
which; according to an ofllclal commu
nication from Hrussols, aro in battle
ordor at somo point unnamed. Tho
Belgians, In tho outpost skirmishing,
aro said to have Inflicted severe checks
on the Germnn forces, but on tho whole
tho German wing has kept on its way
and has reached a lltle from the north
of Namur to Haelen, which suggests
that the first big battle will be fought
somowhoro botwecn liouvnln and
Dlcst, whoro tbo allies probably will
try to block tho roads to Brussels and
Antwerp, and prevent the German at
tempt to make north Delglum unten
able. Further south French troops havo
entered Belgium through Charlerol,
going to tho relief of their neighbor
and to aid in any attack directed to
ward Namur, while In the east the
French are reported to havo secured
possession of ridges In the Vosges
mountains and to hold the passes of
LeBonhomme-,and Sainto Marle-An-Mines,
through which Important roadB
pass, and which, It Is assorted, gives
them great strategic advantage.
Liege Fight Again Resumed.
Brussels. The fight for the posses
lot. of the Llogo forts has recom
menced. Tho Germans erected a
bridge at Llxhe for the transport of
troops and hoavy material and It Is
possible that simultaneously nn at
tempt will be made to cross tho river
Meuse In front of Liege, for convoys
have boon sighted proceeding toward
Engls. Tho German advanco Is bolng
greatly retardod by the Liege fortifica
tions, as thoy dominate tho routos
taken by the Germans and nlso the In
tervals between the fortB by tholr
preventing tho passage of nrtillory and
, transport wagons.
The Germans appoar to bo com
mencing a fresh phase of tho war.
Thelr,nttack through central Bolglum
having failed, they aro entrenching
along their Maestrlcht-Llcgo front and
are employing a number of peasants on
tho road south through tho provinces
of Liege and Luxemburg, foreshadow
ing an attempt to force their way to
the south of tho river Ourtho nnd to
wards tho upper Mouso in Franco.
The German cavalry, which spread
itself out over n front extending from
St. Trond to Ilannut, at tho same time
sending detachments in tho direction
of TIrlemont, Hougaerde and Jodlgno,
havo fallen back except at one point
where they are kcoplng in contact
with tho Belgians.
A fight of Importance occurred nenrJ
lanemont, whero a thousand Gorman
cavalry, with quick firing guns mount
ed on horses, attacked a regiment of
Belgian lancers. The latter rotlred ow
ing to inferiority numerically.
London. Rocrults for the army aro
enlisting nt the rato of Bovurnl thou
sand a day. Tho business men aro or
ganising their employes Into n fifth
lino of defense. Tho majority of the
able-bodied men of tho country are
drilling In tholr homo organizations.
Home. The kaiser Is making, a su
preme effort In the( courts of Greece,
Bulgaria and Roumanla to havo those
nations side with Germany and Austria
In tho prosent war. This Is admitted
hi official circles here, whero the nego
tiations of the kaiser's representatives
are being closely followed. That tho
Balkans must inevitably be drawn Into
the war Is considered certain bore. But
it Is unlikely that they will lino up en
tirely for tho kaiser. Greece and Tur
key must Inevitably fight, but tho later
will range itself on the sldo of the
kaiser, whllo Greoco will aid England.
Paris. There has been no undue ex
citement in Paris over tho reported
losses or victories to French arras.
Thoro have boon painful bcoijos, how
ever, around tho ministry of war on
tho newB of engagements. Groat
crowds of relatives of tho soldiers havo
been socking names of thoso killed or
wounded. No lists have been pub
lished. According to late advices tho
Germans mado a determined attempt
to tako the positions occupied by tho
FroncV outside of Muolbauson, but
failed. The Germans did not rc-oator
the towa.
Germans Are Concentrating.
St. Petersburg. Tho regular troops
of tho German army, who hitherto
had been scnttcrod In small detach
ments along the frontier, aro now con
centrating nenr tho Russian border in
brlgade.1, coniposed of two or three
regiments each, all In readiness to
toko tho field.
The positions in tho border villages
havo been occupied by units of cavalry
and infantry of tho Gorman army re
serve No serious encounters havo occurred
yet on the frontlor. but frequent skir
mishes between outposts are reported,
while Gorman military aeroplanes fly
dally In tho direction or Kovno, capi
tal of tho Russian province of the
samo name, which hnn an outlet on
tho Baltic.
Washington. Mining of the North
soa ns part of the plan of tho Euro
pean war not only may closo most of
tho northern European ports to nnvl
Ration but the golden-laden cruiser
Tennessee nnd North Carolina and
neutral passenger vessels bearing
Americans from Europe will bo con

lean government has boon formally ad
vised by the British embassy that In
nsimtcli uo Hominy had been "scatter
Ing nines Indiscriminately," Great
Britain could no longer refrnln from
planting mine1? near her own ports.

enocteu by Belgian, British and French

STANDARD OIL HE
STATE PAY8 9133 FOR SLAUGHTER
OF QLANDERED ANIMALS.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items of Interest Gathered from Re
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.
Western Newspaper Union Kewa Service.
When the Nebraska legislature In
1911, and again in 1013, appropriated
money to pay for glandercd horses
and mules condemned by the statf
veterlnarinn and killed under tils or
ders, It had In mind the protection of
farmers who nre always the heaviest
losers from any live stock dlseaBo.
The legislature did notjtnow that, un
der this statute, John D. Rockefeller's
Standard Oil company would become
a claimant against the state nnd re
colve an allowance of $133 for u mulo
that hns Just been killed In Lincoln
by the state veterinarian. Neither
wns It aware that a storage and trans
fer company at Omaha would ask the
state to pay It 'several hundred dol
lars on account of four horses taken
from its Btnblcs nnd put to death bo
calico they had glanders. The Stand
ard Oil mule was executed by State
Veterinarian Klgln. lit accordance
with the statute, be has mado out a
voucher for $133 to the Rockefeller
concern, which tho state of Nebraska
will pay.
Save the Straw Stacks.
With straw piles from a forty-ncre-tract
worth, according to conservative
estimates, $100 for the fertilizing con
stituents alone, tho agronomy depart
ment of tho Nebraska College of Agri
culture again calls particular atten
tion at this time to tho waste or de
stroying them. According to data
gathered from Nebraska funncrs,
wheat straw may bo put to many uses.
It has been scattered effectively on
the wheat land as a top-dressing to
check blowing In the sandy regions.
Others And It profitable to scatter the
straw on land that Is planted to corn.
As bedding, It absorbs and holds the
liquid excrement, which Is the most
valuable portion of the manure. In
any case, when the straw Is applied to
the land either as a straw or strawy
manure, It may be thoroughly disked
with the surface soil in order that the
best results may be obtained. A few
farmers have scattered the ashes after
burning, but by so doing they have
lost 95 per cent of Its value.
Corporations Paying Under New Law
More than 1,500 corporations of tbi
atato have now paid their fees undei
the 1913 law and the total Income
therefrom exceeds that under the old
law by $22,000. For the blenntum,
therefore, it would amount toJ$50,000
or more, when all the corporations
have come in, according to clerks h
the office of the secretary of state,
than the legislature appropriated lot
the Nebraska City armory and the
sufferers from the March, 1912, trag
edy at the state penitentiary. When
the figures were compiled there were
500 corporations that had not paid.
When their money has been received
It will mean that the total' excess pay
ments over the former law will amount
to $25,000 or more for the year.

Automobilists Must Pay Up.
Automobile owners under the sys
tem evolved by the 1911 legislature

unnual registration payments. The

the collection of the fee up to the
county treasurers. Before It was a
duty of the secretary of state, and
under this scheme It wns impossible
to check up all owners. Despite the
fact that cars most seen In the state
carry numbers running far beyond
the 20,000 or 30.000 mark, tho lower
cumbers are still kept up.
