in
That Article provided that should Germany desire to give up her interest in the leased territory of Kisocbow, before the expiration of ninety-nine years,
Germany shall be at Jiberty to lease some other point along the coast, Japan has taken good care to guard against any such eventuality. Ohing at first remated Japan's demand as an infringement of her sovereign rights, but in the end offered to make
volantery pronouncement ton the sab ject.
The clause remains in the Treaty, however, as it way framed by the Ja
