JAPAN'S OBJECTIONS.

From tie Japanese standpoint,
is that it lies directly opposite 10
rea. the great field of Japanese col
onial development. and also just
across the sea from the southerly
Japanese islands.
Explaining the political effect of
Germany's occupation of Kiau Chau
this diplomatic authority on Orient
al affairs said the issue had its ori-
gin in the events of the Japanese
Chinese war. At that time, he said,
Japan had succeeded in taking Port
Arthur from China after memoir
he said Germany took the lead among
group of European powers in de
handing that Japan should not re-
tain the fruits of her victory by
holding Port Arthur.
Yielding to this pressure, Japan
relinquished the prize. Shortly aft
er this German fleet occupied
Kiau Chau claiming it as an indem
nifty for alleged attacks on Ger
man missionaries. Since then kiau
Chau has been steadily developed
until now with its fortress, its him
terland and its outlying sections of
Shan-Tung province, it represents
in the japanese view most form
liable foothold of German influence.
Meantime. Russia is no longer at
Port Arthur, and England has Civ

Wei-HeiWei So, it is pointed out
Germany remains practically alone
among the European positions at the
entrance to the China sea.
China has long sought to have
this territory restored. thus establish

Now when he had contrived to

this card, gesture which said quite
plainly: "All that is finished. The

Whereupon, with a smart jerk of his

who advanced the suggestion which
was adopted-though this was it's re-

than for any actual appeal intrinsic
in the proposition.

And it was impossible to stop the
cycle-so brief was all his warning.
In desperation Alan chose the outside
Of the road; and for the space Of a
single heartbeat thought that he might
possibly make it, but with the next
realized that he would not-seeing the
front wheel swing off over the lip Of
the slope.
At this he acted sharply and upon
sheer instinct. AS the cycle left the
road altogether he risked a broken
knee by releasing his grasp of the
handlebars and Strengthening out his
leg and driving it down forcibly
against the roadbed. The effect of this
was to lift him bodily from the sad
die: the machine shot from beneath
him like some strange projectile
hurled from the bore of great gun:
and Rose crashed against him in the
