"Chicago may be able to learn some

great modern city problem all the
world can profitably go to school with
Chicago in the role Of teacher. In the

That is the opinion OF Richard Il

that in no city in the world has there
been such IL comprehensive and ng-

Japan's Demands.

Japan's demand-the withdrawal OF
German warships from her port in
the Orient and the abandonment OF
Kiau Chau-fulfills her part in her
alliance with Great Britain and was
made on the proposals of the Eng
lish government, according to author
itative sources in Washington. How
ever, it is designed to bring to an end
German rule in territory which ia
pan conteslas threatens Chinas in
tegrity and peace in the far East
Since the German fleet sailed into
Kiau Chau harbor 16 years ago and
claimed the territory as indemnity
for alleged attacks on German mis-
sionaries, Japan's avoWed intention
has been to restore it to her Oriental
neighbor. The Anglo-Japanese alll-
ance was said TO have brought about
Japan's decisive step in that direction.
Recent exchanges between officials
of the Japanese and British govern
ments were said to have resulted III
Great Britain's taking the attitude
that her special interests" in the far
East as mentioned in the treaty were
menaced by the operations Of Ger
man warships in Oriental waters and
by the general situation involved in
Germany's military strength in Kiau
Chau. Japan was said to have lost
no time in accepting the British view
point.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Japan's

today all developments growing out

History OF the Grab,

Washington Aug. 1I.-Germany's
acquisition of Kiau Chan. the evacua-
ton of which Japan has demanded,
followed closely upon the acquisition
Of areas of interest and spheres of
influence in China to other powers.
Until 1899 no foreign power aside
from the Portuguese and English, had
been allowed to hold possessions on
or near the coast of China. Japan
acquired Formosa by treaty in ina;
year. Russia secured a concession for
the Manchurian railway and France
obtained a rectifcation of the from
tier of Tong King.
Germany's seizure of Kiau Chau, in
retaliation for the murder of German
missionaries by Chinese, followed in
November. 1897, and in March the
port with adjacent territory was
leased by China to Germany for 80
years. The district was declared "A
protectorate of the German empire
on April 2, 1898. and its admlnistra-
ton was entrusted to the navy de-
partment with a naval officer as gov
crnor.
In November, 1897. Russia obtained
a 25-year lease of Port Arthur and
Talienwan with 500 square miles OF
territory and secured naval base
and an ice-free port. In the follow
ing year in May further concessions
gave Russia virtual control of Man
churia and a little later Russian in
fluence was extended into Mongolia
The Japanese war, however.
limited Russia's activities there and
resulted in Japan's acquisition OF
Port Arthur. In order to preserve
the ba lance of power, Great Britain
en- April ., 1898. leased Wei-Hal-Wc!
on the same terms as those IN the
Russian lease of Port Arthur.
Enter Great Britain.
In February, 1898, Great Britain
had established its influence without
claiming exclusive privileges in Yang
followed by similar privileges for
France, which, on April -, 1898, leas
ed the port of Kwang Chau Wan, on
the southern coast, for SO years. On
June 8 Following, Great Britain leased
for 80 years a considerable square
mile extension of territory on the
mainland opposite Hong Kong and
about the same time Japan secured
non alienation pledges concerning
the province of Fukien. Italy de-
manded lease Of San Nun bay, hut
did not press it because OF particular
opposition as eXpl essed at home to
a policy of EXPANSION.
All these territorial negotiations led
up to the celebrated international
A"open door" declaration. While Eng
land had long urged the policy Of
equality of opportunity for all nations
in Chinese trade, the United States
accomplished the first broad recogn!~
ton of that principle. AS r. salt
of negotiations by John Hay, then
American secretary of state. Great
Britain, Germany. France. Italy. Rus
STA and Japan early in 1900 acquiesc-
ed in guaranteeing the treaty rights
of the United States, and that the
most favored nation clause treaty
rights of other nations in China
should remain unimpaired in the ter
ritory except military or naval Sta
tons acquired or leased by each pow
er, and goods of the treaty powers
should be continued to be admitted
there on terms equal with those of
the nation really in possession.
