Reported Seizure of Island
of zap by the Japanese Is
Credited by Embassy Here

Seizure by the japanese Pacific SQUAD
ron of the Island of Yap though not
yet confirmed by official advices is ac-
cepted as a fact at the embassy here.
At the embassy this move was said to
be only one development in the general
plan agreed upon by the British and the
Japanese to seize all the German naval
stations in the Pacific.
This Is regarded as necessary in order
to terminate the activities of the Ger
man cruisers which have inflicted seri
Gus GUS injury upon British commerce, al
most equaling the exploits of the IA
nous Confederate cruisers Alabama
and Florida during the civil war.
Declining, in the absence of all the
Iaees; TO express any opinion as to
Wnether the japanese landing on the
Island of Jaluit. one of the Marshall
group in the Pacific ocean. is in vioia
tion of the announcement by the Ian
anese foreign office at the beginning Of
the war that Japanese activities wouId
be conhned to the far east, Secretsrv
Bryan yesterday plainly was exnect,
ing the early arrival Of some official
statement OF the ultimate purpose Of
this act
Greater Concern to Great Britain.
Already Secretary BRYAN has inter.
ested himself in Japanese military
operations against the German CON
cession in Shangtung. probably ami
mated by the appeal from the Chinese
government against violation of Chi
nese integrity. The landing on the
Marshall Islands. however, has mo-,
been made the subject of representa-
tion to the State Department, possibly
for the reason that there is no one in
a position corresponding to that of
China.
In Samoa. it is pointed out by Off
cials, the United States had a very
lively interest in any change in the
sovereignty of the group because of
the proximity OF the German-owned
islands to the American Island of Tu-
tuila.
Because of the reluctance of the Brit
ish-Australian colonies to have the
Japanese approach their continent, the
British government itself is under
stood to have a very explicit under
standing with her ally, Japan, that the
British alone are free to exploit the
important German insular possessions
in Micronesia and in New Guinea.
British View of Japan's Act.
done on the Island of Jaluit is in ac-
cordance with this understanding and
a more or less official statement is ex-
pected that the Marshall Islands, after
the extirpation of the German naval
base there. will either be vacated bv
| the Japanese or turned over to the
British. their future to be decided in
| the conferences which must terminate
| the present war.
Officials at the British embassy ware
| positive in their assurances. that
| Japan's act would in no way develop
| a violation of the memoranda limiting
] the scope Of Japanese military activity.

PEK1NG, October 7, Jas pm.
According to a German news
agency dispatch the Japanese
forces have occupied the Island
of Yap, the most important island
in the Caroline group, Or New
Philippines, in the Pacific ocean.
According to advices received here.
the railroad station at Gilman, in
Shantung province, west Of Kiaochow,
has been occupied by thirty japanese
soldiers. One hundred and fifty more
are expected tomorrow.
German Residents Fleeing.
A dispatch received here by the AS
sociated Press from Gilman says no
trains are running over the Shantung
railroad. The rolling stock has been
collected mostly at Gilman. Germans
from all along the line, including
women and children, have taken refuge
in Gilman.
The Japanese legation here says that
tack on TSingtau. The German garri-
son, the Legation continues, will be
summoned to surrender and opportu-
pity will be given non-combatants to
tome out. The American legation in
Peking has sent instructions to w. R.
Peck, the American consul In Tsing-
tau, to come out when this opportunity
is offered.

ployes of the Shantung railroad previ-
ously held by them.
German Warships Reported Sunk.

lief was expressed at the war Office
today that the German cruiser Cor
moran and two German gunboats had
been sunk in Kiaochow bay.

Shangtung railroad as far west as
Gilman.
The newspapers commenting on the
capture of the Island of Jaluit by
action was necessary to safeguard
Japan's territorial. commercial and
maritime interests. They add that the
seizure was justified also. because of
the seizure and destruction of shipping
by the German cruiser Emden.
The Caroline Islands are east of the
Philippines. The group is very ex-
islands. Yap is about 1000 miles from
the Island of Mindanao, one of the
Philippine group. The Caroline Is
lands were sold by Spain to Germany
in 1899.
