JAPAN MAY TAKE PART
Thought to Be Getting Ready to As
slst Great Britain


An all nif~t cabinet conference and
activity in the navy department has
strengthened the popular belief Mt
Toxic that Japan is about to take an
active part in the war,
Whether Japan will participate In
an attack on the German colony OF
Tsinetau is question about which
Eritish subjects and other foreigners
in China are gravely concerned. II
is believed in Pekin that serious con
versations" are now proceeding be-
tween Toxic and London in order to
determine the future status Of that
place.
In the meantime German cruisers
are said to be searching the Yellow
sea ard causing British. French and
Russian merchant vessels to remain
in the various ports The German
fleet at Tsingtau has already seized
the Russian steamer Riazan, carry
ing British subjects. has driven
hundred merchantmen to the refuge
Of Jananese ports, and has embar-
raised the entire Japanese shipping
in the Orient.
A British fleet proceeding toward
Tsingtau passed Shanghai. II is be-
lieved that German warships are bot
tied up in Tsingtau harbor.
