China Asks U, s. to
Accept Trusteeship
of KiaO Chow Land

WASHINGTON. Aus 2l.-Most sig
nificHnt Of the days developments in the
European situation here was the inquiry
Of the Chinese government Of the United
states, whether the latter would under
take the trusteeship of tho territory OF
Hiao Chow, transferring il Immediately
from Germany to China
China's inquiry was understood to have
been based on an scquiescnce OF Ger
many in such a plan, hoping thereby to
avert war with japan. While officials
were generally rCticcnt to express any
opinions II was generally believed that
the American government would not &C
Cept the proposal Of China unless both
Japan and Great Britain formally as
scented.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
has scrupulously avoided thus far In
volving the United States in any way in
the situation and there is every indica-
ton that this attitude vii be strictly
maintained.
China's endeavors to obtain the terri
tory of Kiao-Chow and at the same time
preserve neutral relations with Germany.
Japan and Great Britain were manifest
in dispatches from Picking. In any
oventuality. China indicated clearly its
intention Of remaining absolutely neu-
trail.
