CHINA'S WHITE BOOK.
The 'Chinese Government White Book containing English translations of official documents relating to the war, begins with a Barman note complaining bitterly at some length of the naval Elockade and informing China that Carmany must remove restrictions Da naval warfare, stating that hereafter all vaarels would be attacked by all avail. able weapons without further notice. A Chinesa nota dated February 9, 1917, protests against Germany's submarina warfare and a further pate dated March 14, 1917, Announces the severance of relations with Austria and Germany.
A German. note threatens" not to permit the Chinese Minister to loave Germany unless German officials in Chins are given unlimited time by the Allies to reach their bome.
The White Book shows that, having. beon entrusted with protection of Geri man interests in China on March 15, 1917, the Netherlands Minister took the strongest attitude. On April 7, 1917, ho sent a note to Waichisopu; desiring to know "definitely that da.ing the.! period of the war the Chinese Govern ment would neither obstruct German residents in China in the carrying on of their occupations, notistern, nor compel them to leave China." In conclusion the Netherlands Minister stated that be wished to communicate un answer to
Germany to procure for Chinese there an opportunity to leave Germany.

The Chinese Govern meat replied that its attitude towards Germans and their property: would be in seconlanes with International Law,' but if the German Government desires fra to know how Chins will treas Germans in China before allowing Chinese to leave Germany it is tanta. moun: to "treating the Chinese as bost- ages. The Chinese Government there- fore 'is constrained to protest." In a note dated April 30, 1917, regarding the regulations concerning the protaction of German merchants and missionaries in China, the Netherlands Minister says that certain papers in Chian treat lightly the importance and respect which Chins attaches to International Law and treaties; even the French Consol General in Shanghai has adopted this" erroneous interpretation as a pretext, notwithstanding the rights of the Sovereign Power, China, over the French settlement, in order to take divers menautes, against Germans, „iz contravention of treaty stipulations:
In a noto dated May 12 1917,, the Netherlands Minister requests a special, statement that the Chinese Govern- ment has no intention to expel Germans from China or to fatern them," and ga May 26, he refers to actions of the French Consul at Hankow affecting German persona and property as being in violation of tresty provisions.

The Waichinapa on August 28 in. formed the Netherlands Minister that the Chinese authorities had taken possession of the main branch offes of the Deutsche-Asistische Bank, also monies and evidences of value deposited therein. The Netherlands Minister on September 10 wrote, "Chips will ba held responsible for whatever damage. and expenditures the Bank may tain," while on September 17 he stated that he regretted that Chinese officials had several times transgressed the laws of nations by seizing Austrian and Ger tan ships-and-requested repediation of the enizures.
On October 31, 1917 the Netherlands Minister called the attention of the Waichiaopu to the fact that the Chinese Government had got banded fa funds to the Deutsche-Atastische Bank, which should be disbursed to bondholders as interest accrued from various loans, con- tending that the money ought to be in Berlin at stipulated times in order to ensure payment on coupons falling due and to preserve Chineso credit." In a note dated November 5, 1917, the Ne therlands Minister stated that if the Chinese Government actually comenced to liquidate this private busineksit would incur a very grave risk, not only because it would be a serious violation of International Law but also because he had received from the German Gov ernment a telegram stating that it would hold China strictly responsible for all losses which the Deutsche. Asiatische Bank and other basizes of Gorgiens in China might suffer on account of the action taken by the Chinese Government.
