FOREIGN CONCESSIONS
CENIERS Of TROUBLE {
VIOLATION OF cHINA's NEUTRAL
ITY is CHARGE AND COUNT
Err CHARGE

thS AAnOcAhtcO hEcoDst
SHANGHAI. Dec. S1-Foreign con-
cessions in China have been centers
of never-ending trouble since the be-
ginning of the European war. AS the
result of activities of various bellig
erents in these settlements, charges
and counter-charges have been made
concerning the violation of China's
neutrality. China is so enmeshed In
European treaties that it is always
extremely difficult to determine her
actual status with reference to the
European powers Practically every
foreign concession was created under
different conditions, and the CONNER
cial treaties between China and the
various powers are so varied that few
diplomatists can harmonize them.
Newspapers under German control
at the treaty ports are constantly
charging that China is violating her
neutrality by permitting shoes and
other supplies to be shipped from
Shanghai for the use of the Russian
army. They are also voicing protests
against the shipments of supplies for
the French and English armies.
On the other hand, the English and
French press are loud in their denun-
citation of German activities which are
permitted to continue on Chinese soil
under lease to foreign powers.
The latest ground for complaint of
this sort was supplied by the capture
| of the Jananese steamer Iro which a
French cruiser took into Saigon un-
der charge of carrying arms and am
munition for mutinists in India. A
passenger on board this steamer, with
out passport admitted his German ma
tionality, and is reported to be for
mer member of the German consular
service in China. This steamer sailed
from Shanghai, and is alleged to have
carried ammunition cases and arms
which were thrown overheard when
the French cruiser gave chase
| 1t has even been charged that the
German social club in Shanghai is
used as an arsenal for the storage of
supplies to be used in promoting sedi-
tion among the colonies of Germany's
enemies in the far east

form of government for Norfolk
with the affairs Of the city in the
hands of five commissioners-wiil, 1t
is believed by those in close touch
with the situation, be the recommen-
dation of the City Councils commit
tee now considering the matter.
The idea seems to be to recon-
mend the commission form to be
tried first, with all the branches OF
the municipal government run by a
commission, the form to be shifted
later, if deemed advisable, to the city
manager plan Of city government.
Under the latter plan there would
be council or commission to at
tend to the legislative features Of
government, including the election OF
the city manager, while the city man
ager would appoint all the other
city officials, and himself be the ad-
ministrative department OF the city.
The committee will have several
phases of the subject under consld-
Grafton, including the form OF gov
eminent to be recommended. and
whether to proceed under the option
al charter act (by an election), OF
under a special act Of the Legisla-
| ture.
If special act is deemed best it
will be necessary to get an act pas
sed by the Legislature defining the
manner Of applying for the special
act-as to whether it shall be asked
! for by the people, or election by the
people. The manner of applying for
the act is regarded as very vita!
one.
It seems to be an open question
| as to whether the committee viii
