"Take Tsingtao as an example. It ie only a amall German Concession and not really their territory, with only several thousands of Germans to stand against several tens of thousands of Japanese. The Germans are resolved to die in defending the place for they are unwilli to yield up the place when alive. From this we know that the land is so valuable that it cannot be given to others easily. Is it a fact that our 400,000,000 people cannot compare with only several thousands of Germans, and are they inferior even to the Turks? Turkey is equally an poor and weak as our nation and their territory is as encroached upon by the Powers as ours, but at this war time, she resolutely cancelled the " Capitulations."

How lamentable this state of affairs is!
