port says:
THE Germans have heretofore evi-
IDENTIFY been bending all their energies
to make Tsingtau the most popular
resort in China, and have met with
considerable success in the past. Ihcy
have expended millions in improve
ments of all kinds. During the sum-
mer of 1913. the best two hotels rails
ed their prices. ana there was fall
ing off in the number of visitors, but
on May !. 1914, more than one-ha II
of the hotel rooms were engaged Tor

tensiyelv advertised all over China"

| Shantung railway carried nearly l"H"n
| tons Of freight in the year. Gains in
