tons which the world will have 70 con-

tween now and the formulation Of
those new policies and certiiication OF
principles which must inevitably follow
the Cessation of hostilities. Therefore,
u IS interesting 10 consider in broad
and general way some Of the larger
facts as TO which there is more or less
concrete evidence concerning China's
position as neutral during the war
As early as July 10, 1914, there we're
indications that the great conflict
would disturb the peace Of the Far
East. On that date Peking received adj
vices from Tsngtao, dated July ~. that
three German cruisers had gone into
dock for repairs. Without hesitation,
without an hours unnecessary delay.
the Chinese government communicated
with the diplomatic corps with the OBJ
Ject OF coming TO an understanding so
as to prevent any conflict between bel
ligerents on Chinese territory or in
Chinese waters, and also TO define
Chlna'S position as a strictly neutral
power. OF course, with the whole world
out OF joint, the house of cards which
the foreign powers had built up in
China swayed and shook II was very
evident that the least breath Of wind
would cause il TO topple over Undis-
mayed by this situation, the Chinese
President issued a decree announcing

with the powers at The Hague in 1907.
II warned the civil and military gov
errors and their subordnates that they
would be held to a strict accountability
for the maintenance Of neutrality. This
decree was promulgated throughout the
provinces on August S. On August 10
was issued Japan's ultimatum to Ger

triton. And in this general summing
up much earnest consideration mist
necessarily be given TO the position IN
which the international upheaval
placed China. in whose case strict
neutrality was and is as the very
breath Of national life itself.
Il is important 10 consider how the
war has affected China's position in
ternally and externally. The extract
which have quoted from the Shanghai
correspondence Of The Associated Press
summarizes briefly, and. | believe
fairly, the superficial situation. The
correspondent gives some interesting
details Of recent alleged unneutral
acts. among which may be enumerated
the following:
Newspapers under German control ri
the treaty ports charge that China has
violated her neutrality by permitting
shoes and other military supplies 20
be shipped through Shanghai for the
use Of the Russian army. They also
voice protests against the shipments
Of supplies for the French and English
armies. The English and French press
in the treaty ports denoUnce German
activities, which are alleged TO be per
mitted TO continue on Chinese soil
under lease to foreign powers. II IS
charged that the German social club
in Shanghai has been used as an "ar-
senal" for the storage of supplies 10
be employed in promoting sedition
among the colonies of Germany's
enemies in the Far East. II is alleged
that on the Shameen Island at Canton
the foreign reservation much Of the
British concession has passed into the
hands of German owners. The British
desire 10 expel these Germans. A Ger
man officer in the employ of the gov
eminent of China is charged with being
the head of the German press bureau
which is embarrassing the Asiatic In
terests Of the Allies.
Chinese Pride Outraged.
But the fact remains that the war
found China supposedly protected from
unneutral annoyance or interference,
because of the meshes and mazes of in
ternational compacts limiting her indi-
vidusl action Where, save in Peking,
is there a capital within which foreign

hung. Local boards were created Tor
the provinces. particularly where there
was likelihood of friction between ma
tionals and belligerents. On Septem-
Der the "North China" the senior

fed to China's active efforts 10 play
fair between all belligerents:
president Yuan and his ministers are
working night and day in the office oil

up his duty as adviser TO this Office.
In view of the fact that the alleged
leaning of the Chinese government
toward Germany has been stressed oy
some writers, this last sentence, PAL 81
ticularly coming from British news
psper, is noteworthy. The japanese
authorities, following the issuance ot
the ultimatum. acted with that CELEBRITY
and attention to detail which is char
acteristic Of the japanese military ma
chinery. Without waiting for the eN-
piration of the ultimatum, the Toxic
government formally applied TO PekinG

The Case OF Tsingtao.

Gcrmsny's intention to use Tslngtao
as a base from which TO embarrass and
threaten British shipping in the Far
East was al that time suggested,
though not. certain. Germany's right
to carry on her war from Tsingtao
was questioned. and a proposal was re-
ported 10 the effect that difficulties
might be avoided IL Germany would
consent TO transfer temporarily TO
United States control the administra-
tion Of affairs at Tsingtao and within
the leased territory of kiao-chsu. But
in the minds OF her enemies Germany
had already fortified Tsingtao. II was
a base of major Importance which Eng
land and her allies could not possibly
overlook. The spectacular operations
Of the Emden and other incidents of
the war in Oriental waters proved con-
clusively that, political and other con-
sideratlons TO one side. Germany was
not inclined to sacrifice any possible
military advantage which might inurc
from her possession OF Tsingtao
over which China still claimed SOW
creignty. Communication with Berlin
being cut Oft. on August l6 attention
was directed to the question as TO
whether. in view Of the fact that the
ultimatum mad been presented by
Japan TO Germany. China would be
