THEIR GRIEVANCES
German Base in Chinese Ter

Security of East.
TRADE HELD DEMORALIZED
foreign Office Gives Out Formal
Statement of Reasons for Ulti
matum History of Acqui
sition Is Reviewed.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Interfer
ence by German cruisers with the ship
ping of Japan's ally. Great Britain,
with the seizure of Japanese goods in
German bottoms and the consequent
grave dislocation of Japanese trade,
are the principal reasons set forward
by Japan in explanation of the ulti
matum delivered to Germany last Sun
day. Cable dispatches have contained
a. brief outline of the Japanese griev
ances, but it was not until today that
the full text of the statement issued by
the Japanese foreign office bearing
upon this subject became available.
This document said:
"From the beginning of hostilities
between England and Germany, the
latter has been bending all her ener
gies to strengthening all the fortifica
tions at Kiau-Chau, even to the extent
of enforcing labor upon them by the
Chinese coolies.
Trade In Pacific Demoralized.
"The German squadrons station
ed in the Far Bast have been
making IncesBant appearances In China
waters, making Kiau-Chau their base
and In co-operation with German con
verted cruisers threatening and inter
fering with British shipping and com
merce, thereby placing in jeopardy to
a considerable extent the commercial
interests in general of Great Britain.
"In the meantime, the above action
on the part of Germany has not failed
to greatly demoralize the trade inter
ests of Japan by obstructing and dis
turbing her shipping routes and com
merce. In fact the whole Eastern com
mercial world has been thrown into a
state of utmost uneasiness. Some of
the Japanese import and export cargoes
on board the German merchant vessels
have been requisitioned.
Bane Regarded as Menace.
"It is clear that unless Germany has
a strong base at Kiau-Chau the condi
tions such as above outlined could
never have been produced. It is this
possession of Kiau-Chau that is solely
responsible for it all: It is the strong
est weapon in the hands of Germany so
far as the Far East is concerned.
"The history of the seizure of the
place by Germany and her conduct pre
ceding and after her intervention, in
conjunction with Russia and France,
after the Chino-Japanese war, show
that It is absolutely necessary to elim
inate .such possession completely if
Japan is to restore immediately com
plete peace in the Far East in accord
ance with the terms of the Anglo
Japanese treaty.
"If Japan is to look far enough into
the future and provide measures strong
enough to insure abiding peace in
Eastern Asia, she must realize that a
strong military base in the hands of a
hostile militant power, right in the
heart of the country, cannot In itself
fail to be a menacing power."
matter what action Japan may take
as a result of her ultimatum, the Chi
nese Renublic will preserve an abso
lutely passive attitude.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Official
here were silent today with reference
to the inquiry of the Chinese govern
ment as to whether the United States
would undertake the transfer of Kiau
Chau from Germany to China.
China Sounds America.
It was predicted in official circles,
however, that the United States would
not assent to the proposal unless It
had previously been assured that such
a course would be accepted by both
Japan and Great Britain.
It was believed here that China's
Inquiry was made to sound the United
States Government on behalf of Ger
many.

PEK1N, Aug. 20. In the belief that
those classes from whom the Boxers
sprang might succeed In forming small
groups which would take advantage of
the war to attempt once more to expel
foreigners from China, the government
today instructed the provincial author
ities to afford foreigners all necessary
protection.

warned against exciting the people by
articles on the war, while discussions
on the war are forbidden in public
places.
Further measures have been taken
against the revolutionists, who have
begun to renew their activities in sev

Ever Since August 3 Ranks of Jobless
Sallora Are Increasing on
New York Waterfront.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Crippling of
commerce by. the European war leaves
thousands of seamen and longshoremen
idle about the New York and Hoboken
docks today. According to the Rev
Edward M. Deems, assistant superin
tendent of the Seamen's Church Insti
tute, at 25 South street, the situation
among sailors is growing worse every
day.
"Ever since August 3," said Dr.
Deems, "our dormitory has averaged
80 per cent full, which is very much
higher than the average for July and
the usual Summer average. At pres
ent, all the men are paying for their
rooms as they have recently been paid
off. but it is doubtful if all of them
will be able to tide over the depres
sion In shipping."
He then pointed out that the condi
tion of the longshoremen was much
worse, because they live from hand to
mouth at all times, and, therefore, are
the first to feel any reduction in ship
ping.
"As for the general situation around
the docks here," he continued, "there
are three tendencies which are already
very prominent. First is the probable
transfer to the American flag of
American-owned ships. The Interna
tional Merchant Marine and many other
companies may adopt this course.
"In the second place, there is the
elimination of the so-called 'mixed
crews and the straigntening-out oi
nationalities. As soon as a ship reaches
port, her captain immediately pays off
any members of his crew who are not
of the same nationality as the regis
tration of the boat. This is done to
prevent friction among the crew and
other complications.
"I have watched the steady accumu
lation of sailors here. Look out be
yond the Battery, and you will see the
Immediate reason. There are already
t least 20 or 30 tramps and freight
ers anchored out mere, witn oniy a
donkey-engine man and a sailor or
two, instead of a full crew. Every day
duple of ships join that dead fleet.
and the crowd of jobless sailors out
side here is larger by a few scores."
KAISER SPURS HIS TROOPS
Glorious Deeds of German Sword
Recalled by Emperor.
LONDON, Aug. 20. A wireless mes
sage from Berlin tells of the German
Emperor's farewell address to the
First Regiment of Foot GuardB.
They had assembled, the Emperor
said, to pray that German arms might
be blessed, so that they should be able
to keep flying the flag of the father
land over the envy of its enemies, even
if this entailed the sacrificing of the
last drop of German blood.

remain In its sheath decade after de

MEXICO CITY GIVES
SELF TO GARRANZA
Populace Cheers Lustily When
Rebel Chieftain and His
Forces Enter Capital.
PARADE LINE SIX MILES
Ovation Given Supreme Ruler of
Revolution as He Rides on
Superb Steed Through Streets
and Takes Keys of City.
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 20. General
Venustiano Carranza. the supreme chief
of the Mexican revolution, and from to
day provisional president of the re
public, entered the capital at noon.
Crowds on the streets gave him an
enthusiastic reception.
It is estimated that more than 150,
000 persons crowded the line of march
of the new president and his followers
which extended from the village of
Atzapotzalco to the national palace, a
distance of six miles. There was not
the slightest disorder as General Car
ranza and his staff passed through the
cheering crowds which showered them
with flowers and confetti and from
which came cries of "Long live Carran
za; long live the constitutional govern
ment."
Troops Form Early.
At dawn today the troops began
forming at close intervals in a double
line along the entire distance over
which the victorious leader was to
pass. Back of the troops were ranged
the sightseers, and on every roof of
the balcony were spectators.
It was near noon when General Car
ranza, mounted on a superb horse and
accompanied by his staff and the gen
erals of the northwest, the central and
the northwest division of the army, left
Atzcapotzalco, escorted by a squadron
of cavalry and the fourth Sonora bat
talion of infantry, which acted as the
guard of honor. On reaching the city
limits the column was met by the May
or and the City Council of the capital,
who delivered the keys of the city to
General Carranza.
Cannon Roar Welcome.
After this ceremony the cavalcade
proceeded to the historic Chapultepec
castle, where two batteries of artillery
fired a salute in honor of the new
chief executive. Here the parade
turned down the Pazo de la Reforma
avenue, which was designed by the un
fortunate Empress Carlotta and which
leads from the castle to the national
palace.
Along this section or the line or
march were grouped hundreds of school
children dressed in white, each carry
ing a bouquet and a Mexican flag. As
Carranza passed they sang a hymn
written for the occasion, entitled
'Union and Liberty."
When the procession reached the
National Theater it halted that the
chief executive might receive at the
hands of a delegation of workmen the
flag which President Madero dropped
at that very spot on the fateful
February 9, 1K13. the date of the Huer-ta-Diaz
uprising.
Cairaiua Cheered Heartily.
Passing down the Avenida San Fran
cisco, the crowds gave the new Presi
dent an ovation. This avenue leads to
the historic Plaza de la Constitution,
the Cathedral and the National and
Municipal palaces, forming Its sides.
Here an immense throng had been
eathered since early in the morning
and cheered General Carranza as he
passed through the main entrance of
the National Palace.
A few moments after he entered he
apepared on the balcony under the
liberty bell and addressed the crowd,
promising a new era of real constltu-

NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Every ship
that sails out of New York for Eng
lish ports these days sails light, though
England is begging for food.
The liner Celtic left today with 5000
tons of foodstuffs in her hold when
she might have carried 16,000 tons. The
Kroonland left the other day with 4500
and room for 8000 more. The Adriatic.
St. Paul, New York. Philadelphia and
others of the 13 ships of the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine which have
departed for England since the war
started have ridden high In the water
byecause of their lightness of cargo.
Other lines tell the same story.
Paradoxically the storage warehouses
In and around New York are choked
with supplies for which England Is of
fering fancy prices.
Credits Not Established.
The reason why none of this food Is
going to England, officials of the
trans-Atlantic lines assert, is that
American shippers have no assurances
that their drafts will be honored in
England promptly and are unwilling to
send their products abroad with notn
intr more tangible than a hope that
they will receive prompt payment for
their goods. Tons and tons or mer
chandise, these officials say, are held In
check against the time when arrange
ments will be made to enable purchas
ers to pay promptly in gold for Ameri
can supplies.
Although in need of foodstuffs Eng
land is well supplied with wheat, al
most oversupplled, according to esti
mates of the International Mercantile
Marine. This, they say, is due to the
diversion to British ports of largo car
goes in bottoms bound to Continental
ports at the outbreak of the war.
Sugar la Allien Needed.
Consequently little grain Is going to
Great Britain, the largest single ship
ment recently being 2S00 tons on the
Kroonland. Sugar Is the one article
Great Britain needs badly. For the
first time in many years English mer
chants are Importing direct from New
York. The bulk of England's sugar
came, before the war, from Germany
and Central Europe. Nearly 1500 tons
were on the Celtic sailing today and
1350 tons were aboard the Kroonland.
Other vessels in addition have carried
large consignments.
Nearly all this sugar is taken from
the domestic markets.
