A BAIT FOR JAPAN.
MORE GERMAN IMPUDENCE. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June SThe "Daily Mail" states that after abortive attempts to delude Russia into a separate peace, the German Government is now dangling a similar bait before Japan, impudently suggesting that Germany is prepared to bargain for Kiaochau and the German colonies in the South Sea. The German Government has apparently empowered the "Vossiscly! Zeitung" to state that Germany is prepared to cancel the lease of Kiao-chau for money, and is prepared to deal regarding the future of German South Sea colonies because Germany holds such extensive territorial pawns in Europe that x she could easily impose upon France the cost of compensations to Japan.— (Cnited Service.)
