GLIMPSING THE FAR EAST|| BY GIDEON A. LYON, Member of American Journclists' Party Touring Orient as Guest of Carnegie Endowment jor International Peace. ON BOARD STEAMER SAKAKI MARU FROI TSINGTAO TO SHANGHAI, July 8. 1920.—This" is the last leg of our outward trip. At Harbin, we reached our farthest north, At Peiping we ‘were at our farthest west. Shanghal will be our farthest south, Then, with a side trip to Nanking. we turn east, on the home- ward way. We will reach Shanghal in a few hours, some time in the after- noon, unless the fog through which we are at present running thickens to slow our speed, which seems to be unlikely. | as the sun is breaking through and all signs point to good weather, good and hot. This is & Japanese llhlr. as the word “Maru” indicates, the line being a connection or subsidiary of the South Manchuria Rallway. It was “sold” the other day by the railway company, the gale consisting of the transfer of the stock from the corporation to the in- dividuals of the corporation, s change of title, but not of actual ownership. The steamer is clean and comfortable and fast enough to make the trip in easy time. She operates on a three- port route, Dalren, Tsingtao and Shanghal, and on the return the samg ports in reverse order. Tsingtao Entertains Well. Tsingtao gave us a most agreeable entertainment, an excellent hotel, a “free” morning, for our shopping and resting. a luncheon in a Chinese restaurant, a sight-seeing drive, and at night a formal banquet, with six differ- ent factors as hosts. Yesterday morning was again “free,” our freedom con- sisting,of an opportunity to repack our luggage to accommodate the Tsingtao souvenirs and printed matter. We sailed at noon, to the tune of a lively air by a military band, with a company of infantry standing at present arms in salute. Our sight-seeing drive Saturday afternoon gave us a very clear idea of the substantial manner in which the Germans built up the city. very plainly intending to remain per- manently, even as the Russians built in Dairen and at Harbin and elsewhere in Manchuria. The stores are all of good size and good building materials, mostly stone. The dwellings are hand- gome, in the German style of architec- ture. and are set weil within garden inclosures. One of the relics of the German occupation was shown to us in the course of the drive, a fort out on the northeastern promontory which forms They were | 17 the visitor sees s battery of broken ns, their muzsles sticking up at dif- ferent angles, their steel turrets dented, their concrete bases pitted with ex- rloflun holes. These marks were made, it is related, by the Japanese gunfire from the sea when Tsingtao was at- tacked in the great war. Differing Tales About Clash. Differing tales are told about this assault and capture. The Chinese guides with us the other day rather made iight of the Japanese perform- ance. The Germans, they in a hopeless situation, They off from supplies, isolated thousands of miles from home and a base of provi- sioning, and they could not possibly hope for more than a protracted re- sistance. So, after a show of defense, they yielded, and blew up their own fortification to prevent it from being of service to the Japanese. One of the guns, the largest in the battery, about & 10-inch weapon, evidently had been deliberately ruined by a gas-torch hole cut through it just at the point of emergence from the turret. From Japanese sources we heard that the capture of Tsingtao, including the carrying of the outer fortifications, cost. the victors 10,000 lives, that the Ger- man defense was cbstinate and that Tsingtao represents today a heavy sac- || rifice, for which in the adjustment of the Washington conference of 1921 there was no adequate compensation. One story connected with the capture # this particular fort which we in-| spected the other day is characteristic of the antagonism constantly manifest- | | ed between the Chiness and the Jap- anese. took the fort, which was an easy mat- ter, they rpoceeded to explode some charges of dynamite on the concrete gun bases and domes to give the im- pression that their mlrk.‘mlnlhlfl from the sea had been the cause of the vic- Hostility Is Embarrassing. This hostility between the two peoples is at times distinctly embarrassing to us. We must be on our guard at ail times now to show preferences. Some- times the situation btecomes acute. As for nstance the other morning when we reached 'Tsinan, our two J-panese companions—they are with us to com- | plete our arrangements for the return to Japan from Shanghal—were con- fronted with the pictorial material pen- dant from the station walls, showing It comes from the former and || |is to the effect that after the Japanese | } | away to seclusion for the period ef our stay in Tsinan. Just at this moment, however, our chief J-raneu guide and our chief Chi- nese guide, the latter representing the Nationalist government, are sitting in a friendly card game with three of the members of our party, evidently the most congenial of companions. Yet the Jealousy between th: two nations crops out at every turn. The Chinese seem to regard the Japanese with keen suspicion and the Japanese to look upon the Chi- nese with some contempt. is is a most unwholesome condition, of course. It leads to “pin pricking” in the rela- tions of business and in all affalrs, The other evening I heard a Chinese official at Tsingtao tell about the difficulties had with the sallors from, the foreign fleets ashore at that port. The Amer- ican naval officers, he said, were scrup- ulously careful to make their men be- have, as far as sailors can be made t; behave while on shore leave. If the transgress the rules, they are ished on board ship. On the other hand, he declared, the Japanese naval officers do not co-operate at all with the Tsingtao authorities in this respect. © Wide, Smooth Highways, From the old German fort we drove out to the mountains that run in® sharp-toothed range down to the sea, 20 miles or so back from Tsingtao. This is one of the “sights” of the place. The way out into the country is through broad highways that, with their smooth pavements strikingly eontrast with the rosds leading these avenues is 75 feet 5 driving, we reached the lower slopes of the hills and began to climb. easy going, though the hills are steen.

Suddenly, after a final stiff climb, the road ends, As we round up before a small inn, called “Half Way House” & score or more of chairbearers spring to life. They swarm around our cars, clunoflng for patronage. The road is lined with theff chairs, two-man affairs, which form the transport vehicle mostly used in the final ascent of the mountain, But we are taking no chairs today, thank you. Our time is limited. We sit under an arbor and have coffee and cake and dicker with the boys who bring forth laoshan crystals for sale, some of them of amethystine coloring, some white, some black, large and small. The prices are moderate, but the diffi-4 culty is that we have no local money, All our cash is of the Peiping kind, not current in Tsingta. Our guides, however, make us loans, and some speci- mens of these crystals are bought as souvenirs, municipality of Tsingta, the Kuomin- tang organization, the admiralty, the gendarmerie, the chamber of commerce and one other organization, the title of which has at the moment escaped me and which is to be found only by going into one of my trunks, which I will not do.
