"One serious consequence of the mobilization," said the chancellor, "was the lack of employment despite the fact that the call . to the colors took from 5,000,000 to ; 6,000,000 able bodied men from the Industrial field into the army.

Japan says In effect that it is planning the complete destruction of the German base at Tsing Tau and so is justified in taking possession of the railway which constitutes an insepar able portion of, the German leased ter ritory in China; v; '.'In the first-place, the Japanese ar gument says, the railwayvis German owned," directly controlled" by the Ger man government, based on an imperial charter and has the character of a pub lic property. - . . ' J.n the, second placethe railway can not be regarded as "neutral property and Japan'.s seizure of It does hot con stitute a violation of China's neutral ity. The Chinese "proclamation does not alter the status of the railway. Thirdly, it is said that, the Chinese government insists there has been no connection between Tsihg Tau7 and the railway since the Japanese invested Tsing Tau and so "Germany is unable to utilize the road,' but from a Japan ese military standpoint it would be dangerous to leave ; a section! of the railway in . the rear of the Japanese forces, in 'the hands of the enemy.
