JAPAN BEGINS BOM-
BARDMENT OF GERMAN
FORT AT TSING-TAU

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
Kaiserin Elizabeth has been at anchor
in the bay of Kaio-Chau II was re-
ported that she has gone to a neutral
port. There is no likelihood of Austria
mixing in the oriental hostility in an
effort to help Germany. The present
war is a chapter in the ANIMALS Of
Japan. 1t is the first time this nation
has gone TO war against a world power
as an ally Of a nation OF the Occident.
The fact that Japan is not fighting for
territory and that the issues of the
war are not well understood by many
Of the people In the interior probably
accounts for the fact that the war
gun" which was fired to announce the
fact that Japan had gone TO war, fail
ed to arouse the intense ENTHUSIASM
which preceded the break with Rus
STA.
Japan is acting with the full ap-
prevail Of England. In fact evidence
might be found to indicate that Eng
land urged Japan on. But, of course,
there is a diplomatic secret.
Surprised at Suspicious.
Newspapers In discussing the war,
together with the cause which led up
TO it and the possible causes express
surprise at American suspicious.
Japan's object in going to war is
summed up briefly N the organs which
are supposed TO speak for the govern
ment. 1t is this:
Japan desires to GUST German in
fiuence from the orient. The govern
ment wants to prevent Germany from
acquiring territory in the orient. and
it seeks to keep TeutOnic enterprise
from the far east, especially China"
Wherever the Japanese influence is
strong Germans are being expelled.
German residents Of Mudken and Port
Arthur are fleeing. Merchant ships
on the southern coast OF Manchuria,
and Korea are crowded with refugees.
German property is being seized and
it is expected that the Japs will occupy
the German railroad in Shantung.
II IS reported that six Americans
are in Using Tau, having refused to
leave when the opportunity was given
them. 1t is expected that either Vice
Admiral Kamiamura or Vice Admiral
Shimamura will direct the naval oper-
ations of Japan.
