Chinese Commerce Little Affected.

Julean H. Arnold, the newly appoint
ed American commercial attache, has
returned to Picking after a tour of the
principal business centers of China
Contrary to his expectations, he found
the war had not seriously affected
Chinese commerce.; in fact many lines
of business have been greatly benefit
ted as result of the war.
The price of antimony. of which
China produces a fair quantity, has
risen four fold, and cow hides are now
selling for over twice as much as they
brought prior to the war. Most of the
purchases are being made by the Jap
anese, who are now manufacturing
arms, ammunition, leather and general
equipment for the Russian army.
Trade in the British Colony of Hong
Kong has suffered severely owing to
the fact that from 20 to 80 per cent of
all business done at the port was
through German firms. Canton, being
the nearest Chinese port, has conse-
quently suffered also. Nevertheless,
there is great confidence among bust
ness men there.
In Hankow and Shanghai there has
been very good business showing.

Japanese Become outlaws.

According to Japanese reports from
Tsingtau, a number of japanese have
become outlaws and 3oined with bril-
gand bands of Chinese who are operat-
ing in the Province of Shantung. jap
anese troops are hunting them down.
After the occupation of Tsiugtau by
the Japanese army, large numbers of
Japanese crossed over from their own
country to the newly occupied dis
tricts. So extensive was the immigra-
ton that. according to Consular re-
ports, even rickshaw coolies came over
to Tsingtau in order to compete with
the Chinese coolies at this preftless
occupation.
The number of japanese who came
to Tsingtau has been roughly esti-
mated at ten thousand, apart from SOL
diers and officials. They came with
the hope of making money readily, and
many of them were undoubtedly dis
appointed, because many of the Ger

Visit to Internment Camp.

The Rev. A. A. Pfanstiahl of Chi
cago, who is in Holland giving Sc
ries of lectures on the United States,
sends the following account of his visit
othe internment camp at Groningen,
Holland, where the men of the British
Naval Brigade have been interned
since their retreat from Antwerp over
the Dutch border
THE men are fortunate in being
placed in Groningen. It is an old uni
versity town: and soldiers can profit
by the privileges of the university
classrooms, which are open to them
without charge.
1.-The camp is thoroughly organized.
Large barracks, low wooden buildings,
have been erected on an open plain
There is a large recreation hall, pro-
Vided with writing tables and equip
ment, games, and a well-stocked read
ing room. Lectures are given at fire.
Guent intervals. At one end of the
hall a room is screened off, and here
Church of England services are held,
conducted by the Rev. H. H. Coryton
and an assistant stationed in the camp
Services are also held for men of other
religious denominations.
Nearby, in other buildings, there
are shops of all kinds, where the men
can employ themselves usefully at
carpentry. wood carving, tailoring,
shoemaking, hairdressing, tent and net
making, or knitting and weaving. Many
of the goods made here are sent to
England
"a small daily newspaper is edited
and printed in the camp, and there is
a libarary of over 1000 volumes. The
camp has its own postoff1ce, where
parcels and letters are received and
dispatched free of postage. The men
all wear wooden shoes, to which the
Dutch quickly accustomed them.
The camp is in charge of a Dutch
commandant, with whom l had a long
conversation. They are a remarkably
representative crowd, he told me
Here you have university graduates
and men of wealth and influence
alongside miners, sailors, fishing lads
and factory hands. All this is strange
and interesting to us Hollanders, who
are strictly democratic in theory, yet
in practice take a much stricter &C
count of class distinctions than do
these Englishmen. But 1 have been
noticing the effect, and find that the
mingling of the classes is helpful: it
certainly has a profound influence on
the characters of the men, and they
learn to understand and respect one
another.

TRANsYLVANIA's PASSAGE.

Even though there were fears man
ifested for the safety of the Transyl-
vanfa, British ship carrying Amer
lean passengers, in view of the attack
upon the Lusftania, the arrival of the
ship unframed in a Scottish port does
not necessarily mean that there has
been any abandonment of the German
submarine policy that was in
operation when a ship belonging
to the same company was sunk
1t is, of course, a cause for rejoicing
that no attempt was made to torpedo
it, but it did not follow the usual
line of travel and there is no telling
what might have happened to it if it
had held to the beaten path and act
ually gone to its original destination
Liverpool.
To have treated the Pennsylvania
the same as the Lusitania would have
been a most unfortunate affair at this
particular time while the previous
case hangs in the balance, and yet
while it may have been anticipated by
Germany that a new course would be
taken it cannot be interpreted at this
time as any modification of Germany's
practice.
A submarine feet of considerable
size would De required to keep Vig1-
liant eye out for all the British ports
and watch all the British shipping.
Rather is this case to be looked upon
as one of the many vessels which got
by, the same as many others have and
as many others will, whatever the
policy. It would be a most happy fact
if it could be viewed as the abandon
ment of the violation of international
law, but better assurance as to that
will come when a British Nship has
been stopped, visited and the passen-
gers and crew given the proper OPP
portunity to leave before disposition

Likewise many of the better class
Chinese, being in dread of the Japan
csc, also departed. Trade and com
merce in consequence fell off badly,
and many of the Japanese immigrants
did not find ready occupation for which
they had hoped. This is probably the
reason that some of them entered the
more lucrative occupation of bring

BY the rules Of the war game f0rmu-
lated by the general board In conjunc-
ton with the war college the blues
were required TO intercept and bring
to battle a stronger enemy force-to de-
feat his feet and destroy his trans
ports. The area In which this enemy
was TO be found extended from East
port, Me-. to Cape Hatteras and sea
ward TO a distance OF 100 miles.
The red fleet represented a force su-
perior TO the Atlantic fleet. Although
neutrality would forbid that that SUI
periority In strength be compared with
the superiority of the German fleet,
that is about the situation which this
wal game presented to all practical in
tents and purposes.
On May 10 the reds began to APP
proach the American coast from some
unknown point In the middle OF the At
lantic ocean. It's task was to defeat
or elude the Atlantic fleet which was
defending the coast and establish a
base where troops could be landed at
any point between the Maine border
and Hatteras.

The game was one of the most impor-
tant ever enacted, and the details were
carried out TO the minutest point. The
sending OF the wireless messages In
code and the censorship OF the stations
resembled real warfare.
Nor was the game without accidents
that were real as well as disasters that
were imaginary. Five of the twelve

Admiral Fletcher had taken his fleet

counter and Engage the enemy feet at
some point off the New England coast.
1t was thought that Cape Cod was the

But IL will be recalled that the Ger
man cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich and
Kronprinz Wilhelm were both able to
reach into the Virginia capes despite
the strict guard maintained off that
port by British cruisers. The Virginia
coast north of Cape Hatteras permits
of running close inshore, and in thick
