On the 11th Feb. in the paper called "The New Republic" published at #33 Cormorant St., Viotoria, B.C.
Peking, China, 7.30 a.m. 10th Feb.1917.
The German Ambassador at Peking has received instructions from his Government that he should start for his own country immediately.
The Chinese foreign office at Peking intends to hand him his passports. Foreigners here report the relation between Germany and China may be severed.
Comments by the Editor,-
China should observe strict neutrality as we have pointed out in our paper several times. When Japan attacked Kiaochow (Tsing Too) we had a strong article in our paper criticising Japan' s treatment of China as she was the first to violate our neutrality.
"Empror Yuan" at his time did not handle this affair to the benefit of the country, that is the reason why Germany is censuring us.
Now we hear that Germany has recalled her ambassador from China and if this is true it shows that German ambitions are not a small one. There is a saying that the ones that handle the affairs cannot see as far as the bystanders; which I take to mean that the onlooker sees more of the game.
We do not wish to see a neutral state like China fall.
