HARD LUCK OE TEITnNs

Hutchinson CKas) News Germans
and Austrians in China are given five
days to get out or be interned.
That sounds all right, when every
thing is considered, at least from this
distance, but just where are these dip
lomats to go when they pack up, bag
and baggage, and pull out Of Chinaland?
/ If there wasn't quarrel they could
go over the line into Russia, but these
nations are not on speaking terms at
the present time.
If the japanese government was
friendly the Germans and Austrians
could go there, and spend some time,
but the Toxic government is also not
playing with the Teutons.
Then there is India, a part Of the
British empire. where they are about as
welcome as Emperor William would be
in Liverpool, and where they can not
go The Philippines are a little farther
down and they can't light there, at least
the Germans could not and the Aus.
trians would not want to do so.
Siam is as mad as a wet hen at the
Germans and there will be no chance
for the Germans and their friends to
come hanging around in that part Of the
earth.
Some French colonies are not far
distant, in the Straits Settlements. but
these are no place for a German or an
Austrian.
And this about takes up all Of the
near neighbors
China gave the aliens five days to get
out. She should have given them a day
or two more, for the only direction they
can go is where it is very wet walking
And this lack Of a place for the Teu
tons TO go only shows what a great
thing this world war really is and how
few nations are left that are not. in
some way, mixed up in it.
