APPROVED BY JAPAN Uncie Sam Asked te Take Care of Nippon’s inierests in Germany. Washington, Aug, 24.—Vi | Chinda, the Japanese ambassador here, Sunday formally notified the United States that Japan had de- clared war on Germany. The Amer- ican government immediately scount was “Germany. Assurances recently given by the British government to States® that Jupan’s activity would be confined to the China seas and east- ern -Asia, were repeated by Viscount Chinda. Approved By Japan. The position of the United States of three days ago, has met with the approval 'of Japan. In that communication the United States “noted with satisfaction” that Japan pormised to maintain the in- tegrity of China and eventually re- store Kiauchau to China, that Japan sought no additional terfitory and had pledged herself in pursuance of the Anglo-Japanese alliance to the main- tenance of the principles of the “open door” in China and equal opportunity for the commercial interests of all powers. Not Unexpected. Japan’'s declaration of war was not unexpected by administration officials. Germany’s failure to reply to the Jap- anese ultimatum also was not sur- prising, intimations that such a course would be pursued having been given by the German charge d’'affaires, Han- iel Von Haimhausen. The latter was at the state department today shortiy after Ambassador Chinda left, and learned informally from Counsellor Lansing that a declaration of war had been deposited here. Mr. Von Haim- hausen made no comment. It is gen- erally understood, however, that Ger- many refrained from making any re ply first, because of the aggressive na- ture of the ultimatum; and second,: because Germany preferred that Jap- an take the initiative, a circumstance which often has much weight in the final reckoning in the peace confer- ences at the'close of the war. ‘When Ambassador Chinda called at the state department Secretary Bry- an had gone to the country for a day’s rest. Counsellor Lansing re- ceived the imperial rescript setting forth Japan’s reasons for declaring war, and talked briefly with the ambassador, completing arrange- ments for the care of Japan's inter- ests in Germany. The American gov- ernment did not undertake to com- municate the' rescript to Germany, & copy having been sent by other chan- nels. Sole Interest of U. S. The sole interest of the United States in the far eastern situation is that of a neutral ' observer. Aside from informal verbal exchanges be- tween Viscount Chinda and Secretary Bryan in Washington and between American Ambassador - Guthrie and the foreign. office in Tokio, there is nothing ‘of record so far to commit the Japanese to the limited field of hos- tilities laid down in the British note of last week. The impression prevails here among diplomats, however, that Viscount Chinda, taken in connection with the statement of Count Okumra, the Jap- anese premier, is quite sufficient to bind the Japanese government to 6 a strict performance of its obligations in regard to the return to Kiauchau to China and to the British the. limita- tion of the fleld of hostilities. Ambas- sador Chinda said nothing in today’s conference regarding the status of the railroads in Shantung province di- rectly or indirectly controlled by = the Germans. At the Japanese embassy it was said that the Japanese army probably would content itself with the selzure of the railroad running in- land to Tsi-Nan, about 200 miles in length, because this was German in every respect. It was not expected that any attempt would be mads ‘o take possession of the svstem of railways lving between Tien-fsin and Nankin, because although these were financed by Germans they were nominally Chinese railroads. of- ficials here do not believe the Ger- mans will attempt to turn these roads over to Americans or Chinese, as such a transaction would scarcely be recog- nized after a declaration of war. , May Renounce Allegiance. Japan’s declaration of war was the chief development of the day here, though despatches’ indicating the preparation in Italy for a mobiliza- tion caused some discussion. = Many officials here believe tha: Italy 1s preparing to enter the conflict on the side of Great Britain, renouncing her allegiance with Germany and Austria. This view, howeyer, is gacered only from meagre despatches which indi- cate a strong pressure on Italy to maintain her neutrality. The return of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, and Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador, was taken to indicate that the em:- bassies and legations here which had been deserted for the summer would be re-opened soon. The British ambassador would not discuss the war situation, saying so much had developed since he left London that he would await further official advices. He spent the day with Col. Ville Barclay, counsellor and charge d’affaires, wn) has borne the brunt of the work here during the absence of the ambassador. The ambassador spoke iIn terms of praise of the work of the American relief committee in London. i | | { asked to care for Japan’s interests in | | the United ; MRS.

London, 12:00 Noon.—According to the best information obtainable here the dis- pesition of the German forces in Bel- gium is broadly as follows: The right fank, occupying the entire Terrain immediately south of Antwerp, is moving southwest in the direction of | Lille, in the department of Nord, and | Maubeuge, fifty miles southeast of Lile, in the department of Nord, and | a third is occupied with the reduction of the Namur forts, which consist | of nine defenses of steel and concrete surrounding the city. It is estimated that these three columns together comprise nearly a quarter of a mil- lion men. The main northern German army is advancing slowly with its front ex- tending from Givet, France, to Die- | denhofen, in Lorraine. The French defenses from La Fere to Reims are thought to be the objective of this army, which is believed to number 300,000 men, The main body to the south is di- recting its efforts upon the Verdun- Nancy line of defenses, and now occu- pies Strassburg.
