CHINA MAY BREAK OFF RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.
JAPAN NOT NOW AVERSE TO A RUPTURE. WHAT GERMANY WOULD LOSE BY A BREACH. ' Australian and N.Z. Cable. (Received 11 p.m.) PARIS. Fob. 15. The Chinese Minister in Paris states that the Chinese Note to Germany protesting against submarine warfare faithfully represents Chinese sentiment, which endorses Mr. Wilson's Note for reasons of humanity and justice. If the Note fails to secure the desired effect, China will not hesitate to break off relations. (Received 12.30 a.m.) TOKIO, Feb. 15. Japan formerly opposed China's entry into the war, but is now willing to acquiesce in a rupture with Germany. A rupture would render void the payment to Germany of the Boxer indemnity and railway loans, and would eliminate German finance and intrigue.
