Peking, Oct. 31.
The Government is in receipt of a petition from the Tsingtao Chamber of Commerce urging immediate indemnification for losses resulting from the military operations for the capture of Tsingtao. The Chamber points out that the Government has failed to fulfil its promise that these would be set-tied after the settlement of the outstanding questions between China and Germany though the Treaty with the latter was signed in 1921. The Chamber recommends that the proceeds of the sale of public properties and confiscate ed property of Germans should be applied to payment of these indemnities.—Reuter.
