German Rights Are Claimed.

The Japanese and Russian protest

American International Corporate for
railroad building had not been officially
reported to the State Department today.

expected to hear from Minister Reinsch,

At present. however. there seems to
be no diplomatic issue to involve this

Contracts for foreign activities in
China almost invariably bring forth
protests by other governments on the
grounds Of violation OF concessions.
Such a contingency was foreseen IN the
present instance, 1t is pointed out. by
the provision that in case the lines
contemplated were protested success

privileges would be granted elsewhe
Very often long negotiations have In
tervened between the Chinese govern

Belgian protest against the British
Pukeau railroad concession, solution
was found by changing the location to

BELIEVE U-53 ON WAY
BACK TO GERMAN PORT
High Government Officials Think
Submarine Carried Out Ad-
nliralty Program.

High government officials believe
that the German submarine U-53 is now
on her way back to Germany and that
another submarine is on the way to
the American coast.
The nature and source Of information
upon which their belief is founded has
not been disclosed. While disclaiming
any information on the subject. many
naval officers have been convinced that
the U-53 carried out fully a definite
program of the German admiralty
which included sudden raid and re-
turn to Germany.
Officials also discredt renorts of Sc
cret base on the American coast
Every report of one traced down so far
has been without shadow of founda-
ton in fact.
This again bears out the views of
naval officers as to the probable in
structions of the German submarine
commander Since he surrendered an
undoubted advantage for surprise at
tack by exhibiting himself in Newport
they have contended that the German
government would not risk the discov-
cry of secret base and the proba bile
effect upon American popular opinion.
