The state department has been ap-
pealed to by the Mexican consul here and
by Cow W. P. Hunt for special permits
sion to bring the wounded to the Arizona

PSkin, Oct. THAT Japan intends

line from Tsingtau to Tsinan, which
was received today. Japan takes the
position, despite China's protest. that
80 long as the railroad is German
owned fits seizure does not constitute
a violation of neutrality.
The Japanese contention in answer
to the assertion that since Tsingtau
has been invested there has been no
connection between Tsingtau and the
railway, is that II would be dangerous
to leave a section of the railway in the
rear Of the Japanese forces in the
hands of the enemy. Japan also de-
clares that instances are not lacking
to prove that the Chinese government
is unable to restrain the Germans
from utilizing the railway for warlike
purposes.
The Chinese government has replied
to the latest Japanese note. 1t de-
clared again that 1t considered the
Japanese occupation of weishsien, in
