JAMS Within Two Weeks.
(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The crisis Of
the China-Japan war Is looked for with
In the next ten days or two weeks. by
those most interested and best informed
on the contest. The legations of the
two countries are expecting daily to hear
that the decisive battle has been fought.
This is based on the fact that the Jap
anese have been gradually closing in
around Pekin, and the invading army Is
compelled by force of circumstances to
strike it's blow at once, or not at all.
The Intense cold which comes on about
the middle of October makes this I'M
perative.
The Japanese climate is very mild,
even in Winter, and the Japanese
troops are wholly unprepared Tor the
rigorous climate about Pekin which Is
due within two weeks.
The Chinese look upon this as one OF
their defenses, and the japanese fully
appreciate that it compels them to con-
centrate their campaign for this year
into the next few weeks. and. If pos
eible, days.
