who have carefully examined the re-

convinced that the march to Berlin

abandoned and a direct, tremendous

Must Retain Belgium" Leader Tells
New Fatherland Party.

Amsterdam, Nov. Fat meeting
of the new Fatherland party in
Munich, Admiral Won Tirpitz. former
minister of marine, made a violent
annexationist speech. He said the
question whether Germany or Great
Britain became the protector Of
Belgium would be the decisive issue
of the war.
"A mistaken solution OF the Bel
gian question would stunt our exports
and the reserve capital of our indus
try, and degrade us to being the bond
slave of Anglo-Americanism said
the Admiral. "Our military security
lies in Belgium. 1t is the only way OF
obtaining compensation for our enor-
nous economic losses"
The admiral added that it was
mistake to believe the submarine
would prove sufficient protection
against Great Britain, as some ef-
feetive counter weapon was bound TO
be discovered.
He declared Germany must have

The success or failure of these lead

the question whether they will for
get old quarrels and jealousies.

CHINA OBJECTS
TO JAPANESE
PACT With U. S.
Formal Protest Made to the
State Department
by DR.. Koo.

China yesterday lodged formal pro-
test with the State Deparmtnt against
the action of this government in con-
GLIDING the Lansing-Ishii agreement.
The protest. as cabled from Pc
king. was presented by DR.. V. X.
Wellington Koo, the Chinese Minis
ter. 1t is understood to be based
principally upon the action Of the
United States and Japan in conclud-
ing an agreement which vitality af-
fects China without consulting the
Chinese government.
The popular view in China, accord
ing to dispatches received here. was
that even In ordinary circumstances
China was entitled to notification OF
what was going on in the foreign
Office at Washington and Tokyo, since
she was so vitality affected.
Officials Are Silent.
China, 1t was pointed out, Is play
ing a much larger part in the war
than is generally realized In the West
ern world. Her man power-her
hundreds of millions-are what she is
offering in lieu OF the gold she does
not possess. Already she is supply
ing thousands of coolies for factory
labor in entente nations. releasing men
there for service at the front, and,
in addition. she is sending large num-
bers Of men for service in the
trenches, these men to be trained with
the French and British armies.
The German influence is still felt
in sections of the Chinese press. al
thought most of the Germans have
departed or have been interned,
and 1t is believed here there was pos
sible inspiration for some of the
criticism aimed at the Lansing-Ishii
agreement.
The Chinese legation refused to dis
cuss the protest. "It has been the
policy OF the legation 10 make no
comment on the situation, 1t was
stated Anything that is said will
have to be said by the State Depart
ment."
Secretary Lansing previously had
handed copy of the agreement, to-
gether with a statement of its pur-
poses and intent, to Minister Koo. A
similar copy had been cabled to Min
lister Reinsch at Peking.
No response has yet been received
from Mr.. Reinsch. His dispatches
have been few in the last week. and
have not contained, so far as is
known, any reference to the report
ed disapproval Of the agreement.
