The Japanese government has or- gered the beginning of operations on Jand and sea. - Issued Sunday Evening. The Imperial rescript declaring war wpon Germany was issued last eve- ming. It officially inaugurates hostil- “tfes in the Far East as a result “of Germany's failure to reply to, the Jap- | anese ultimatum. 1 ,.The proclamation of the emperor sent a thrill through the country. Ja- pan’s entrance upon the fulfiliment of her obligations to her ally, Great Brit- ain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled today be- fore the buildings occupied by the department of forelgn affairs and the administration of the navy. Last eve- ning there were lantern processions through the streets. The popular manifestations, however, do mnot ap- \proach the enthusiasm which preced- %d the war with Russia. .

No action has been taken relative to Austria and the foreign office has explained that Japan will remain friendly to Austria unless Austria adopts an attitude which it regards as cffensive. Believe in U. S. Neutrality. It is reported here Germany has been trying to transfer the German railroad in Shantung, China, to Amer- fea. ToKio believes, however, that the . 8., pursuing the policy of neutrality outlined by President Wilson, will not accept the offer. President Wilson's announcement of American neutrality greatly pleased the Japanese. The text of the Imperial rescript is as follo “Issued . m.) : % “We, by the grace of Heaven, Em« peror of Japan, seated on the throne, upied by the same dynasty from tiine immemorial, do hereby make the following proclamation to our loyal and brave subjects: //*We hereby declare war against Germany and we command our army navy to carry on hostilities against that empire with all their strength and We also command all our competent Adthorities to make every effort in pursuance of their respective duties, to attain the national ain by all I means within the limits of the law nations. “Since the outbreak of the present in Europe, the calamitous effect which we view with grave concern, on our part have entertained hopes ex- am- to at Toklo, August 23rd, (6 [Movalty although unforeseén cir- | our ally, to open hostilities against that country and Germany is at Kiau- chau, its leased territory In China, busy with warlike preparations, while its armed vessels cruising the seas of Eastern Asla are threatening our com- merce and that of our ally.

Compelled to Declare War. ‘“‘Accordingly our government and that of his Britannic Majesty, after full and frank communication with each other, agree to take such meas- ures as may be necessary for the pro- tection of the general interest con- templated in the agreement of alli- ance, and we, on our part being de- sirous to attain that object by peace- ful means commanded our govern- ment to offer with sincerity advice to | the Imperial German government. By the last day appointed for the purpose, however, our government failed receive an answer accepting their pd- vice. It is wdith profound regret that we, in spite of our ardent devotion to the cause of peace, are thus com- pelled to declare war, especially ut this early period of our reign and while we are still in mourning for our lamented Mother. ‘It is our -earnest wish that by the and valor of our faithful sube Jects, peace may be soon restored and the glory of the empire enhanced.” 100 WANT TO WORK IN STREET GANGS Applications for Employment Pour Into Mayor’s Office—City Meet- ing Wednesday Night.
