Willingly avoid the sacrifices, risks and ex-
pense of bringing them into action. She
will. however. face a long war ~resolutely

ported that China is raising an internal

have landed anywhere in China. Another

Britain's Work as n Peacemaker.
LONDON, oct. l9-Ihe Daily News
prominently announces, in support of it's
denial that the recent Cabinet council was
called TO consider a proposal for concerted
action by the powers to impose peace on
CHINA and Japan. that the news that China
was prepared TO negotiate for peace came
a day or two after the Cabinet meeting.
The government, thereupon, made over
lures to the power with a view to arrang-
ing a joint representation to Japan on the
basis indicated as acceptable by China.
AT the same time Japan was asked wheth-
er these terms were acceptable TO her as a
basis or negotiations. The government =
was moved TO these steps by les sense of
the great Importance TO Europe of the
maintainance of internal order in China.
The result of these tentative overtures
have not yet been fully manifested. Japan
has not replied definitely nor has she re-
Jected the proposal. There is room for
nope that the suggested basis may prove
acceptable to both combatants. A majority
OF the powers are in thorough accord with
England as TO the course TO be pursued.
There is reason to hope that the other
powers will also accept. 1t should be need
less to add that it is purely diplomatic in
