Peking, Oct. 13
In pursuance of her policy of protest China hae formally notified the British Minister of her objections to the presence of Japanese troops 00 the Shantung Railway. The Government placed it on record that it did not regard British troops as having violated the neutrality of Chins but felt itself in duty bound to re present its feelings to Great Britain since Britain was actively concerned with Japan in the military oper tions against Germany at Tsingtao By making these protests China does all she can to protect herself short of taking up arms, and at the same time gives some satisfaction to thor of her own people who are inclined to believe that the Government is not, and has not been, active enough in emphasizing the rights of the country.
