BRITAIN AND JAPAN
FALSE GERMAN ALLEGATION [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] (Recd. Oct. 18, 12.30 p.m.). RUGBY, October 17. Well-informed circles in London state that there is not the least justification for the reputed allegation on the. German wireless, that the Japanese are indignant at the patrolling by the British Fleet of areas adjoining their territorial waters, nor has anything been heard of a Japanese piotest in this connection. There is, indeed, no ground for such a protest, for British action in no way interferes with Japanese operations in the China seas, while Britain allowed the Japanese Navy to verify the nationality of Britain’s own ships during the China incident, although Japan could not claim belligerent rights.
