Remonstrance with the Japanese military authorities at Tsingtao on any subject has never proved of any use, but the widest attention should none the less be directed towards their revival of the disgusting and at the same time ineffectual quarantine regulations which occasioned so much well justified indignation a year ago. These regulations are reproduced to-day on another page. In one way we feel that some apology is duo to our readers for printing them. On the other hand, publi city and a frank expression of the disgust they evoke that any persons calling themselves civilized should adopt such measures may possibly induce the Japanese Government to overrule what is perhaps only a local order, Nobody can complain of Tsingtao wishing to protect itself, But these measures are no protection. So far as evidence of the health of any traveller is concerned, the regulations are easily avoided and, we need not dwell on the confusion they inflict. If, moreover, the Japanese thus show that they will not trust foreign ships' doctors' they are merely encouraging me on board to help in deceiving them.
