TROUBLE BREWS IN EAST. (Special United Press Wire.) Tokio, Dec. 17.-Following a meeting of the cabinet council Tori: kichi Obata, minister plenipotentiary to China., was directed to make a. strong protest to the Peking goy. erminent regarding the anti-Japanese activities of the,,," ee Chinese students. .-'f ndaii gei the friendly relations between China and Japan. The protest, it is understood, has to do particularly with difficulties in Foochow and the boycotts against the Japanese merchandise. The cables recently received from Tokio told of two vigorous protests forwarded to the Tokio governmient from Peking regarding the Foochow troutbles. Japanese newspapers de clare that China is wholly to blame, whereas the Peking dispatches place all the blame for the Foochow inci dent in which several Japanese were killed, and one American was in jured, on the Japanese. The riot re .sulted when Chinese students boy cotted Japanese goods. The trouble is traceable to the Shantung award. Officials are deeply interested in the recent statementsof War Minister Churchill to the house of commons, "that Japan's forces in Siberia are considerable and that they are be ing increased." Persons in close touch with the international situa tion say they are unable to under stand Jlpan's reason for increasing her forces, savure for the purpose of securing a foothold in Sibeila while the attention of the other allies is directed elsewhere. Other alleged reasons for the strengthening of the Japanese forces. now estimated at 60,000, are the fears of the spread of bolshevism into China.
