LoSpoN. Oct 8.-The vague fears which have
kept all Europe in = fever OF apprehension dur
ing the entire week have partially subsidized.
The slight relief which has come 10 the tension
in the public mind Is. however, due 10 the BELIEF
that tho dangers which threatened are post
poncd rather than escaped. The revivinR cont
denco Is also partly due to ignorance. The real
nature Of the omlnous alarm In diplomatic
circles early in the week Is still sue
c~essfully concealed. Europe, however. now
accepts as facts two current versions
Of the pending events, which must rank as OF
nrst importance In contemporary history. name
ly, that the Chinese empire Is on the point or
collapse ard distntcgration, and that the Gar OF
Russia Is mortGlly Ill. So delicntely adjusted
ara the scales Of veal and woe for the great
powers Of the Old World that either eventuailty
pnrtends almost incalculable consequences. The
two combined have produced the nearest ap-
proach to a war panic which has been known
since the sword was last sheathed In Europe.
It is still futile TO speculate about the real sig
nincsnce Of events, known and unknown, in the
East and far East, but the field may be par
italy cleared by q process OF elimination. II
can now be said positively that there is no ques-
ton between France and England in an acute
stage. The unprecedented action OF the British
Admiralty in sending the Channel squadron
on a cruise to the western Mediterranean In
stead of Atlantic waters during the winter does
not signify a suspicion of hostile designs by
France. Madagascar affairs are not for the
moment an important factor In the situation.
Turning attention to the East, II Is undoubtedly
true that England Il as much concerned In the
attitude OF Russia as in that Of the two bellig-
erents. Every hour makes It more clear that .
crisis is rapidly approaching. The thing most
greatly feared at this moment Is q sudden mas
sscre OF foreigners In sone Chinese treaty port.
The danger OF this atfoclty Is undoubtedly
great. Tie European powers arc not yet able to
prevent II with the means at hand, and the
problem how 10 deal with such an emergency Is
a difficult one. The conviction Ia now uni
vsrsal in Europe that China is practically at the
mercy Of the Japanese forces. The news OF .
decisive blow struck at the heart of the Celes-
tinl empire is expected any day. Therefore II
there Is TO be European intervention In the war
In the East. the time for Il Is close at hand.
There can DO no doubt that this question Is
being earnestly considered by the great powers.
It IL impossible. however, TO gain tho slightest
Information upon which TO base . forecast of the
decision. Rumors without end. both pro and
con, have been In circulation In the last few
days. At one moment IL Is confidently asserted
that England aud Russia have o close under
