GERMANS ANXIOUS

LONDON, May 24.-The German Gov

terdam correspondent Of the Dolly Tcie-
graph formed from recent events In Ger
many. The only thing the German Gov
eminent is looking for he says. u some
alteration In the terms which IL can in
tArpret to the German people as a conces-
SION in order to say that the treaty no
longer retains the form which made II
Unacceptable"
''The Germans will, in short. unless q
quite unexpected internal upheaval &C.
ours, end by accepting the unaccepta-
BILE. the correspondent continues. The
stronger they have become in language
the more vague In substance becomes the
speeches of Ebert. Scheidemann and
other members OF the Government They
all stop short at saying what In the al
tentative policy to a refusal to sign. and
another noticeable symptom 10 that they
have lately taken to emphasizing that
the allied terms are not SO much unac-
ceptabie and 'unfuffllable'
AT the bottom the whole campaign
is really designed, first, to strengthe,
the hands of the delegates in their et-
forts to obtain copcessions and, second
ly. to prepare the public for tho accept
lance of the hard conditions 1t Is
clear, too, that the protest movement
which the Government itself started has
become tho cause of embarrassment
rather than Of assistance to its
authors. Nothing Is more welcome to
them at the moment than the counter
demonstrations in favor Of accepting the

IL understood that the forthcoming re-
turn OF Viscount Ishii, the Japanese
Ambassador to Washington, Is con-
nected with a misunderstanding con-
corning the appointment of a financial
adviser to China.
The Japanese Government appointed
Baron Sakatani financial adviser to the
Pekin Government Before taking this
step. however. the Washington Govern
ment was sounded on the question.
yiscount Ishii, II appears. reported to
Tckio that Washington had no objection
to the appointment. Later, DR.. Reinsch.
the American Minister to China, entered
a protest to the naming of Baron Saka-
tani
This led to inquiries at Washington
and Il transpired that a misunderstand-
ing had occurred and that the American
Government had not approved the ap-
pointment-
viscount Ishii, who had the contrary
impression. was much embarrassed and
requested a leave OF absence. The en-
tire question may be explained as due
to language difficulty.
Viscount Ishii is regarded here as a
very able diplomat and efforts will be
made to induce him to remain In the
service as Japan's representative at
Washington.
