BT JOHN CALLAN O'LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. (Special.)
mat bermany is determined to. make
China pay dearly for her failure to pre
vent Japanese forces from marching
mrougn umnese territory to attack
Kal-Chau is shown by official informs'
tion received by the State Department.
It was -no more possible for China
to resist Japan than it was for Luxem
burg to arrest the movement of the
Germans. Moreover. Janan had this ex
cellent ground for her action. In nre-
parlng for the defense of Tslnsr-tau.
the German commander selzart mrVi
additional . Chinese territory as he re
quired for defensive purposes. This
was done before Japan sent her ulti
matum to the Kaiser for the evacua
tion of the entire Kiau-Chau ' conces
sion. Japan Avoids Lasses.
The effect of the German comman
der action was to make it impossible
for the Japanese forces to land with
out tremendous losses within tha ter
ritory leased by China to Germany. To
prevent these losses, the Jananese
deemed it advisable to debark their
troops on Chinese soil and march over
land, to Kalu-Chau.
Germany, the official notes of which
to China have come Into the possession
of your correspondent, has ' threatened
we pekln government and to Indicate
that she will exact compensation when
In a position to do si. That is to say,
if Kalu-Chau should be taken from her,
when peace has been restored he will
insist on the transfer to the German
government of other Chinese territory.
China's Integrity Involved.
Such procedure will be of the high
est interest to the United States. It
will be a violation of the principle of
the integrity of China, and of the fur
ther principle of the open door; since
the acquisition of territory means ar
exclusive market for the. acquiring na
tion. More than this: If Germany demands
Chinese territory and backs up her de
mands, the action will lead to one of.
iwo imng5 r-a, resumption of the war
or the partition of China. Either would
be most objectionable to tha United
States.
The threat of Germany is In contrast
with the policy of Japan, The assur
ances of the latter are that Kiau
Chau will be restored to China.. That
Japan will keepher word is not doubted
hero, because It is to her Interest to
establish a close rapproachement with
the Chinese people and nothing will do
this more quickly than the restoration
of the territory seized by Germany as
a penalty for the murder of two Ger
man subjects by a Chinese mob.
Germans Give Formal Notice.
The first German note, in which the
Austro-Hungarian government con
curred, was lodged with the Chinese
Foreign Office on September 4. This
note declared:
"China's refusal to prevent the Jap
anese troops landing at Lung-Kow con.
stltutes a violation of neutrality.

oept s. xesterday was
Sedan day, the German Fourth of July
tne lia .anniversary of the fall of
Sedan, of tha capture of Napoleon III
and 104,000 of his troops, and of the
destruction of the second empire. .
t mreo-quartera of a million
vxerroans tne guesses are various
gathered in the Unter den Linden from
the Brandenburger Thor to the iinpe
rial . palace, a distance of one mile.
Unter den Linden Is one of the widest
streets in the world, but it was filled
completely, save for a narrow lane in
the middle, kept open by the police
u mo inuuws along the way
were filled, too.
The crowd was waiting to see the
captured cannon 21 of them, French
and - Belgian taken at Namur.
Eighteen were three-inch (approxi
mately) field pieces and three were
machine guns.
. Captore-d Guns Arrive Late.
The guns came ln an hour and a half
late, but the crowd was good natured
and always denser. There was no sing
ing whatever, but etreet barkers did
plenty of business In "schwarz. weiss,
und rot" black, white and red German
nags and badges. - ...
The guns . were preceded by a Ger
nvji General and 'a horse nearly white
dapple gray. I believe it is tradi
tional for conquerors to ride white
horses, but I don't think this particular
General was the one who took the guns.
He merely symbolized victorious gen-,
eralocracy.
No flowers were strewn anywhere, but
the horses pulllcg the guns and sur
rounded by solid Berlin policemen, had
tiny bouquets of white and piuk-carnations
tied tightly to their head stalls.
German Crowds Not Vehement.
The crowd was in no sense vehement.
There Is no doubt whatever, not a
shadow of it. that Germany is unani
mously, profoundly. Intensely, desper
ately for the war and for victory. But
the people will not take the lids off
themselves. They do all their burning
inside.
Bo. though there was cheering and
plenty of it from this half or tHree
quarter million of Germans, it was far
less than on national election night
before any city newspaper office In
America.
The guns were placed around the
statue of Frederick the Great, some ln
front of the Crown Prince's palace, oth
ers are before the imperial palace, and
knots of people surrounded them ail
day long. Mothers lifted their chil
dren up to the muzzles to gaze in won
der down the shining rifling of the
barrels; old men wag their beads and
talk of '70-71; girls press their lovers'
hands more closely, especially If the
lover be in uniform.
