In the matter of food the prisoners
have little TO complain OF. Each man
Is allowed pound and half Of meat
a day and bread In proportion. The
perfect discipline OF these German
soldiers is never better shown than
when the rations are being handed
out. The men line up In orderly
fashion and there is not the slightest
pushing or iostling
Its a marvel said one Of the
guards to me. 1t Is easier to feed
these 5000 prisoners OF war than II
would be to look after so men In u

that they are too polite. That is, they

m THE surrender OF Using Tao
Ia the first positive land defeat
either side has suffered since the
war began. German armies as
well as the forces OF all the allies
have had certain offensives in Eu-
rope checked. but the wide diner
erence between a check and q de-
feat has not been crossed in the
European area OF conflict.
The fall of Using Tao, however,
IL a decisive defeat. II brings
the war in the far east to an end,
with the overthrow OF Germany's
Quasi-sovereignty in the orient.
All that German craftsmanship
has done to develop sphere Of
influence in the protectorate OF
Kiao Chau took refuge behind
the military defens.s of Using
Tao. Now, the price must be
paid by German political and
commercial prestige In the orient.
II does not seem probable Ger
many will recover her former po-
sition among the Chinese within
any reasonable future time.
Certainly there can be no re-
covery on the battlefield; that Is
what makes the capitulation OF
Using Tao the first positive de-
feat Of the war. Germany's only
possibility OF getting back Using
Tao, or an equivalent concession.
Is by trade In the peace confer

worthy engagement for mankind, no

Such an attitude, coupled with -er-
man military discipline and German
genius for organization, has made the
care or these prisoners a real sine
cure. Dumped into the compound
with three or four carloads - tents
and material for field Kitchens and
other pararhernalia, these soldiers
and sailors Of the kaiser soon evolved
a rigid order out OF a tumbling chaos.
Each side OF the square compound
Is about quarter OF mile In length.
The inner wire fence Is OF very fiimsy
construction. but the prisoners have
been told that any man who climbs
over will be instantly shot. The next
fence, about 10 feet further back. Is
made of barbed wire and Is about "
feet high. Surrounding the whole

IL Is possible the restoration Of
the German ante-bellum situation
in China might be brought about
Such negotiations. however. would
be against Japanese interests and
would undoubtedly arouse strong
opposition at Toxic. unless Japan
were adequately compensated.
A recovery by Germany TO this
end is not legitimate inference
from the present military situa-
ton. II Is far more probable to
conclude that German occupation
of Chinese territory has perma-
nently ended. China, however,
has played no part, herself, In
freeing her soil from a European
power. The work has been done
for her by an AngloJapanese-In-
dian force, and that China will
benefit in the result Is not q dem
onstrable proposition at present.
Japan will take over the admin
istration Of Using Tao and the at
tached district OF Kiao Chau. The
entire protectorate has an area
OF about 200 square miles, with 80
villages and a population OF 200.-
900 Chinese and 5000 whites. Ger
many has organized so schools
for natives In the Kiao Chau
area. taught mostly by Christian
missionaries. One OF the serious
problems facing Buddhist-Shin-
to administration of Kiao Chau
is the future status OF these
Christian schools.
