Abstract
- This article focuses on several news brief on world politics. Interchange of communications on the question of the Yarrowdale prisoners in Germany has finally elicited the fact that four, who were treated as officers, have already crossed the frontier into Denmark. The rest were nominally freed on February 16, but, according to the German statement, have been detained in quarantine on account of infectious disease having broken out in the camp where they were interned. China's adhesion to the Entente may apparently be expected shortly, although as we write there appears to be a clash of opinion between the President and his Cabinet. Dispatches from Peking stated that the Cabinet had voted unanimously for breaking off diplomatic relations with Germany, but that the President had refused to approve the action on the ground that such power rested entirely with him, whereupon the Premier and some of his colleagues resigned.
