JAPANESE CHARGE
ORDERED TO LEAVE;
Baron Chinda, Japanese ambassador
to the United States, transmitted
through the State Department to-day
a message to Mr.. Fonkosha. Japanese
charge d'affars at Berlin, ordering him
to leave the German capital at y. ".
tomorrow n by that hour he had re-
ccivcd no reply from, the German GOV
ernment to the ultima tum. Tho Japa-
nese charge was instructed to leave
the interests of japan in the hands OF
the American embassy.
The next step on the part OF tho
Japanese government, it Was generally
assumed here, would be to attack Kiau-
chau. Al the Japanese embassy 1t was
reiterated that Japan would carry out
to the letter the terms Of her ulti-
matum.
The United States. in the role OF an
Interested, but neutral spectator, was
prepared to transmit amy communica-
tionS from the two governments.
Discussions here to-day turned on
the future of Hiauchau, rs it's early
capture seems assured. Japan is cX-
pected to redeem Its promise to her
ally. Great Britain. and to the United
States to turn this territory over TO
China at a reasonably early date.
TO RETAIN GOOD Will
OF UNITED STATES
The discussion has been raised in
Tokyo as to whether Japan would not
be relieved from the execution OF this
pledge II, through Germany refusal
to meet the terms of the ultimatum.
Japan is put to the expense and trouble
OF taking Kiauchau by force. Intima-
tions received in official circles here.
however. are that many Japanese
statesmen believe the time has como
when efforts must be made to regain
the confidence OF the Chinese people
in Japan. II also Is deemed necessary
for the successful development OF the
larger political plans of Japan In tho
Far East that she should retain the
good Will OF the United States.
1t has been shown that. contrary TO
common belief. Japanese trade with
the United States Is more than double
In 4. fba mt hfr,o A
commerce. Last year Japan sent into
the United States market goods valued
at S9l.633,000. and received American
goods 10 the value OF S57,14l,ooo, while
in the same time Chinese exports to
the United States were $39,75o, 900 and
American exports TO China S21,326,S34
In view OF these consid era tions. it
is generally believed here that tho lap
anese government will follow out its
announced program to the letter. and
restore kiauchau to China as early as
possible.
Haniel Won Haimhausen. the German
charge d'affaires. n State Department
caller just a few minutes before Baron
Chinda arrived. said. that while he
had no definite information, he would
not be surprised II no answer were re-
turned to the ultimatum. placing the
burden OF action Japan.
Secretary Bryan said to day that his
communication to Japan reaff,rmIng
the open door policy OF tho United
States in the Far East had gone for
ward through the American embassy
In Tokyo two days ago.
Senator's of the Foreign Relations
Committee said no action would be
taken upon Senator Gallinger's rcso-
lution to that effort without consult
ing the State Department.
