GERMAN NEWSPAPERS SINCE OPENING OF
 WAR ACTIVITIES
German Official Dispatches Published in German and English; Americans Bitter ly Scored by Far East Ger man Papers.

fl SHANGHAI, Dec. 15.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press) Many German newspapers havebeen estab- lished in China since the beginning of the European war. Most of these are weeklies, some are semi-weekly The War. published at Shanghai is . tri-weekly. These papers publish the full German official dispatches, usual ly in both German and English and also publish much editorial in Eng fish.
 Early in the war these German pa pers confined themselves very large ly to the denunciation of the British but recently Americans in China have come in for much criticism, and prac- are commenting extensively on the at titude of the Americans in the Far east
 In recent issue The War contains the followng article under ;le head ing American Neutrality" We again referto the only way for Ameri- cans to be neutral andtnat is to be in league with everything English, and avoid being seen, with German.
 At the last meeting of Dr. Richards Christian Literature Society we hear that the Americans were present in good numbers, another Angio-Ameri can society. This proves that the | American are neutral We might ask if the German Medical School held meeting. would Americans havt the courage to attend, and would this prove that they were neutral or un neutral?
 "Dr. Richards speech in the inter est of peace hinted very clearly that | the group of powers, of which Ger ! many is one, stands for oppression and Englaad's group stands for de fense of those oppressed. This insi nuation proves also haw neutral this society is, society which once claim ed pr. Ernest Faber and Pastor KTauz
 We would like to ask whether i is the idea of defending the oppressed that has enabled England to own SC much of the earth's soil? And if th, oppressed are to look to England for protection. why does she not at oncG occupy Russia?"
 A leading editorial in The War dis cussing Germany's relations to Rus sia and to England begins: 'There IS particular reason why the Ameri cans do not regard the German. cause favorably. It may be found i; her failure to appreciate gradual de Velopment of the present situation And so the effect is taken for tn cause. Germany's former relation. to England and to Russia are frequent iy misunderstood"
 Americans and the American atti tude towards the war are constant, mentioned, especially, and indirectly hitned at in articles appearing in practically all the German publication, in the Far East. Some of the paper spare American residents of the Ori ent direct criticism, making their at tack in general way on the attitude of the American government.
 4 The German papers are commenting extensively on the failure of the Bel gian government to win any recen recognition from it's allies, and tn, fact that Belgium was not admitted to the European group which joined with Japan in urging China to post pone it's change of government Tn, War says: ''Of late we have bul rarely heard of Belgium, of the Bel the vast military establishment of thf allies, the little strip of country which he still calls his own, his small ban, of faithful followers and he himsel have lost their political identity. Nc special importance attaches to then any more. Belgium seems to havt lost it's attraction which it had at the beginning as a war slogan. It has served the purpose of detracting pee ple's attention from the real issu, and the cause of the war at the be ginning and, as these real issues have gradually beel projected to the fore ground and have become paramount Belgium is now of little consequence to the Entente powers, and at best side issue to be dealt with incidental ly. if occasion arises. The volumin ous war reports of the allies do not mention Belgium's little army any more, although no doubt they have their daily fight just like the rest O. them. The king of England recently | visited France but We have not heard that he remembered his luckles; brother king in Flanders. The Bel gian government remained sileni when lately the other allies proclaim ed anew their intention to stand to gether to the last"
 The same editorial then reviews al length what Germany has done in Bel sium and says that under the direc ton Of Germany officers all tillabl, land has been brought under cultiva ton, and the Belgian industries have been revived with better waS, scale than before the war. Most i'm portant of all,'' the editorial continues
