Germany Takes Pains Not to
Offend the Car,
is CHARY OF JAPAN
EMPEROR AND ENTIRE NATION
ANXIOUS OVER CHINA

Copyright. 1906, by the Associated Press)
Berlin, July The news from China
overwhelms everything here. Ths usu-
ally quiet, self-contained German ma
ton, both high and low. has become
deeply nervous. Every bit Of news
from China is commented upon heatt
edly everywhere. Opinions differ 10
cally among the masses. but the ma
jority believes with the government
that the Chinese situation is most ter
! ious. This results, too, from Emperor
I William and a number of the cabinet
ministers having postponed their sum-
mer vacations because it is expected
/ that before long the weightiest decis-
/ ions must be taken.
His majesty's Chinese reward dis
/ patch IS commented on by the press.
Tie Tagebiatt says:
This manifestation of the solidity
of the interests of all the civilized ma
/ tons shows the broadness of the en-
/ peror's Views and sentiments"
Emperor Goes With Fleet.
Emperor William will. on Monday,
accompany into the North sea the Ger
man ironclad division, bound for China
1t is known in the emoeror's entour-
/ age that his majesty, in his usual i'm
pulsive way. not only gave utterance
to many undiDlomatic thoughts and
opinions of the news of the asSassina-
ton of Baron Won Ketteler, the late
/ German minister at Pekin. but il was
with difficulty that he was restrained
/ from following the dictates of his heart
and forthwith ordering a regular army
corps to be modified and sent TO
China. The more sober views of the
minister of foreign affairs. Count Won
Buelow, prevailed only after several
lengthy conferences.
Among those who were witnesses
of the emDeror's remarks to the ma
rines at Wilhelmshaven previous to
their departure for China, it is known
that his address was much more
strongly worded than officially report
ed, and the newspapers of Wilhelms-
haven and that vicinity publish the
original version, in which was the fol-
lowing;
4 hope to re-establish peace with
the sword and take vengeance in a
manner never before seen by the
world. 1 send you to eradicate the dis
honor done to the fatherland by bar
barians. I shall not rest until the Ger
man colors fly from the Pekin sYall."
Friendly 70 Russia
A number of interesting press ut
terances appear today. The semi-of-
fetal Post has an inspired article, in
which the reasons why Germany can
not counsel Russia TO accept Japanese
Intervention are set forth in detail. The
writer saws: ,--,-z'
The first principle Of German policy
is to do nothing that could be inter
ipreted as an act of partisanship against
Russia All attempts by England to
induce Germany to abandon her neu-
trail position toward the diplomatic ne
gotiations now in progress will fail.
That England is DESTROYS OF Japanese
intervention is comprehensive, in view
of England's weak military position
and her rivalry with Russia. For Ger
many matters are different. The aban-
donment of our traditional friendship
with Russia should be too inadequate
ly retarded by England's platonic ap-
prevail.
Another inspired article in the Neu-
este Nachrichten says:
In Berlin we make German politics
and not English politics. Germany
cannot support a motion to entrust
Japan with a mandate until she occur
ately knows What practical deductions
Japan will draw therefrO4n."
The foreign Office today informed the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that Japan quite recently made a Sug-
gestion 10 the powers asking what
they intended to do. in China. Ger
many answered that that country con-
, side-ed the harmony of the powers in
. action was the chief thing, but the rep
resentatives of the German government
added that they would not raise any
! objection TO japanese mandate, if all

Wild Tale About America.
A Vienna dispatch appeared here to-
: day, in which the claim was made chat
: the person who informed the CORE
Spondent had received information
from a member of the American lega-
ton to the effect that a treaty was TN
existence between the United States
and China, obliging the United States
TO send TO China her officers, in case
the integrity of China is threatened by
any power. Ambassador White, Chen
asked regarding the subject, told the
, Associated Press correspondent that he
was of the opinion that any statement
of this character was certainly false.
No further communica ton between
the embassy and Washington or the
foreign Office upon the subject OF China
had been made recently.
Air Ship is Criticised.
The comment of the experts in the
German newspapers regarding the Ze-
philin airship is rather unfavorable
Eye-witnesses point out that it was
impossible for the aiTship, flying undo,
the most favorable winds and condi-
tons, TO return 10 the starting point
The experts noted the fact that. even
under the favorable conditions existing
: when the landing was effected, the air
