MANILA MM SAYS RUSSIA A!
JAPAN MAY DEMAND SEPARATE PEACE
Japan is Thought lo fce Fostering the Present Chinese Revolu-j
M tion in Order to Give
Excuse to Interfere After the War
BRITISH COMMONS IS ASKED
Slate Dtparlnunt Admits Ibe Possibility of a
many, as the Outcome of Recent German Concessions Tuiks
Evacuating Several Imperii! Centers in Armenia
(Special to the Evening Review).
San Francisco, Feb. 21. That Russia and Japan ap
parently want separate peace, and intend to join Germany
after the war and divide a generous slice of Chinese terri
tory, was the report cf Newd Martin, international law
yer, and T. G. McDonnell, a Manila journalist, brought
J -
t:ere on the Japanese liner
Japan are reported in acute
movements in China. The Jap ,r,Fe ?re tnought to be fos
tering the present Chinese revolution in order to give Rus
sia, Germany and Japan an excuse for interference after
the war. England's anger over the her gradual loss of con
trol of the Chinese situation is reflected in bitter Japanese
; I'Tess comments against the English. Martin's father has
. been for many years in China and iz close in touch with the
government officials. Cifiers of the Chiyo Maru declared
' 15,000 German prisoners, who had been interned in China
'' since the opening ot the war, had been smuggled into Aus
; . tra'.ia within the past wee!;. The reason for the wholesale
j seizure of the prisoners is a mystery. They were removed
on British cruisers. China reported that plots to escape
; ' had been discovered, and a revolt against the English
might follow. -
