GERMANY IN CHINA,

TEUTON ACTIVITY IN KIAOCHAO BAY.

By the Daily Chronicle War Correspondent,

We got into Tsingtau early on a September morning, and I spent the whole 'day in stady ing the progress of this great German experi ment in the East. I need hardly remind your renders that Tsingtau is the port of Kisochao, where the laue Russian warships sought re- fuge. The last time I was there was in 1900, when the laying out of the town was little more than commenced, and except the barracks, the Prinz Heinrich Hotel, and the Governor's house, there were few buildings, but there were thous ands of roolies at work like ants all over the place, and the creaking of their wheelbarrows was perpetually in the ear wherever one went. RAPID PROGRESS.

I was perfectly astounded at what i saw

yesterday, and could not believe it possible that such progress could have been made in the time. Instead of anchoring outside in the bay, as we did last time, we sleamed in alongside a deep-water guny, which was more than long enough to accommodate a Germa warship and the Tsarevitch, which were moored to it. Parallel to this is a massive stone pier, at each side of which ships can lie, and still further another quay, so they have already provided accommodation for a very large number of ships. The pier and quays are all faced with large blocks of yellow sandstone and granite and branch lines of railway run down each, so that goods for the interior can

-;} rival. Chitu ̧ looks a perfect hive of busy în- dustry with a dense population crowding its streets, and wharves cutside which the junks are packed like sardines. - Were the streets are like broad dried riverbeds through which a hardly-perceptible stream trickles The mag- nificent wharves will never, I should think, be lined with shipping, and the wide sewers of their admirable drainage system are considered by the Chinese as a means in case of need by which they can make their escape to the sea It would only be the eternal justice of things

that this place should not succeed and that these massive buildings should become tomb- stones over the grave of a gigantic failure. The annexation of this territory by Germany, as alleged compensation for the murder of two Catholle priests by an irresponsible mob, was as flagrant a piece of robbery as modern his tory can show,
