OHINESE ASTRONOMICAL INSTRU. MENTS..

LONDON, January 14. Writing in the Times, Major-Gen- eral Sir Desmond O'Callaghan says that there is now at Potsdam a collec- tion of extremely interesting and valu- able ancient astronomical instruments

astrolabes, azimuth circles, equator-

ial sights and other similar objects of exquisite workmanship-looted by the Germans from the Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion..

The geodeman, who saw these in- struments in China before they were taken to Germany. suggests that it The Associated Press reports from Washington that a letter from will be a graceful act on the part of Rear-admiral Sims to Mr. Daniels, Secretary to the Navy, was read before the Allies, and would give great satis the Senate committee on naval awards. It alleged that the United States faction to the civilised nations of navy was unprepared for war and that the navy department had committed Europe, it suficient pressure were grave errors violating fundamental railitary principles. When Sims was put upon Germany to induce her to ordered to England in March 1917 just before the United States entered disgorge this historically interesting the war; the navy department instructed him in a note to let the British loot and restore it to China, whose pull wool over his eyes "we would as soon fight the British as the lasting gratitude such restitution would central powers.” sa alleged that the navy department had not certainly earn. co-operated with Ameran naval beadquarters in London and that it was ten months before the United States really came to the aid of the allies.suggestion will be thought worthy of General O'Callaghan hopes that the Mr. Hale, chairman of the committee, intimated that he would ask for an consideration. investigation of these charges.

CHINA'S VIEW AS REGARDS TREATY TERMS.

LONDON, January 15.

General Sir Desmond O'Callag- Writing, in the Times with reference

han's letter Mr. Eagene Chen points out that the restitution of the astron omical instruments mentioned is a term of the Treary of Versailles, and says that, although China has not signed the Treaty owing to President Wilson's opposition to her doing so under a reservation regarding Shan- tung, the Chinese view is that Article 13 of the Treaty, providing this re- stitution, is operative, since it is a treaty of obligation undertaken by Germany to the Allied and Associated Powers as a whole.
