From Orient

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-That
Russia and Japan apparently want
separate peace, and intend to join
Germany after the war and divide a
generous slice of Chinese territory, is
the report brought by Newell Martin,
an international lawyer, and T. G.
Mcdonnell, Manila journalist, who
have just arrived on the Japanese
steamer Chiyomaru.
England and Japan are reported to
be in an acute disagreement over the
movements of the latter in China. The
Japanese are thought to be fostering
the present Chinese revolution to give
Russia, Germany, and Japanese ex
cuse for interference after the war
England's anger over the gradual
loss of control of the Chinese situation
is reflected in bitter Japanese press
comments against the English.
Martins father has been many years
in China in close touch with govern
ment officials.
Officers of the Chiyomaru declare
that the fifteen thousand German pris-
oners, who have been interned in
China since the beginning of the war,
have been smuggled into Australia
within the. past week. The reason for
the wholesale seizure of prisoners is a
mystery. They were removed on Brit
ish cruisers. In China it is rumored
that plots to escape have been dis
covered, and it was feared that a re-
volt against the British would follow
