Outside Europe Germany "renounces all rights, titles, and privileges as

to her own or her allies' territories." She gives up all her colonies and her property in them. She surrenders to China her concessions at Tientsin and Hankow, and agrees to return the ancient astronomical instruments which Count Waldersee stole from Peking in 1900-1. She abandons her property in the foreign concessions at Shanghai and Canton. She cedes Kiaochau and all her rights and railway propertiea in Shantung to Japan. She gives up all her special Treaty rights and properties in Morocco, Liberia, and Siam. She recognizes the British Protectorate in Egypt, like the French Protectorate in Morocco. The whole edifice of German political influence abroad, laboriously built up by force and craft through many years, has crumbled into dust.
