Owing to the belief in official circles
that the German government will
avail Itself of the last minute before
replying to the Japanese ultimatum
demanding the evacuntlorf of Kiao
Chow 'and withdrawal of the German
fleet from the Oriont, the exact
moment whon this ultimatum
expires has beooffle a matter of spe
cial interest. In the Japanese note
Germany was given until nooiFAu5uat
23rd to answer. But noon fn
rokto and noon in Berlin of August
23, are separted by many hours
If the answer is made through the
(Tftrmun Kmhouiv TaHA .ho nB?
tin government must address itself
to the Japanese by the devious meth
ad of cable communication passing
through the handB of the enemies,
the British, and must start the mes?ge
from Berlin tomorrow if it is
to reach Toklo by noon Sunday.
On' the- other band if Germany
takes the griftind that the terms of
the ultimatum may be met by g re-.
npoa.se delivered %o the Japanese
Embassy In Berlin the reply mav
be delayed until a few momonts before
noon Sunday, Berlin time.

California commission of immigration rl

who will harvest the season's crop* t.;
throughout the State. Rut one Ihlni s
| it does assert?that conditions will t
be better for this class of toalera this pi
| year than ever in the past. 5:
' The change is the result of the jt
riot on the Durst hop ranch at y
I Wheatland, in August. 1912, In which n
four lives were lost and in connection
with which two^ men are under
sentence today to life imprisonment
in the Folsom penitentiary. Some
quesi'jjn of wages were involved in t]
f this outbreak but in the main the p
Q trouble was due to complaints con- t
i cernlng living conditions on the1 p
: ranch.
The immigration and housing com .?
mission made a thorough lnvestiI.
gallon of thoso conditions dur
i. ing the trial and returned a report
!. so strongly worded that much of it p
was unprintable, more than cor- b
robor&tlng the stories told by the a
workers. Moreover, it was asserted R
^ that a similar situation prevailed on n
many another California ranch and
employers were warned that there p
1 must be an improvement or lnduatrla'
a troubles of the gravest character
