Charge Orientals With Failure
to Prevent Violation of Neu-

China rotests
Its Innocence
Urges That 1t Had No Power
to Prevent Japan From
Marching Through Her Ter
ritory on kiao-Chow

Washington, Sept. 16.-Notes that
have been exchanged between Ger
many and China, copies OF WHICH have
been received In Washington, show
that Germany has threANemed 20 make
China pay for her failure to prevent
the Japanese forces from marching
through Chinese territory In their at
tack upon kiao-uaow.
The German note to China, in which
AustTfa concurred. was lodged with
the Chinese foreign Office on Septem-
Der 4. This note declared:
''China's refusal to prevent the Jap
anese troops landing at Langkow con-
stituted a violation OF neutrality.
Therefore. the government OF China
will be held responsible and must COM
pensafe for all the losses that may be
incurred by Germany on account Of
the conduct OF the Japanese forces
The Chinese government, In reply
ing to Germany's note. pointed out
that China did offer objections to the
landing OF Japanese troops on Chinese
soil, but Japan replied that Germany
herself had violated the neutrality OF
China through the extension OF the
Kiao-Chow defenses beyond the terri
tory leased to Germany Japan.
therefore. was unable to entertain the
Chinese protest
Docs Not Satisfy Kaiser.
The Chinese reply to Germany's drst
note was very unsatisfactory to the
kaiser. as Is indicated by the note pre-
scented by Baron Won Maltsan. the
German charge d'affaires to China, on
September IL. This says.
"China failed to notify Germany OF
tho decision about the zone OF opera
tons before troops landed. thus de-
priving Germany OF the opportunity to
make use Of the prescribed zone for
defense.
For these reasons the German gov
eminent reserves the right to take at
the present time and in the future
such action as it sees fit with regard
to the breach OF neutrality on the
part Of China and consequent losses to
the German interests
This last note Of Germany to China
still remains unanswered.

BANKERS PROTEST
AGAINST FEATURE
Of CLAYTON BILL
Think lnterIocking Bank Dnec-
torates Should Not Be Pro-
hibited

Washington, Sept. GA violent
protest from leading bankers Of the
country against the action OF the con-
ference committee OF the senate and
house in retaining in the Clayton bill
the prohibition against interlocking
bank directorates il being voiced to
senators and Representatives. Vice
President Marshall laid before the sen
ate today a telegram from George w.
Reynolds, president OF the Continents
tai and Commercial National bank.
OF Chicago, in which he declared
unwise and will affect banks in TWEEN
ty-eight cities. which have a popula-
ton OF 100000. or more. being lin
tied In its application TO cities OF
that size. Mr.. Reynolds pointed out
that It was not necessary to prohibit
interlocking directOrates between
banks and trust companies, because
they do not compete. He stated that
it was often very convenient and in
the interest Of good banking to have
banks and trust companies operating
under . common Directorate. He
warned the senate that In the pres
ent state OF the country's business 1t
would be very unwiso to indulge in
such legislation.
The opposition directed against the
prohibition aimed at interlocking
bank directors was 50 formula BILE
among the prominent bankers OF the
country that it may cause the con-
ference report to be sent back to
the conferees with instructions to
strike it from the bill.
