less England would like to prevent this

China in relation to the massacres of her
missionaries Indicated that she wished to
give China to understand that she would
still maintain her Influence in the Orient
and it was easy to suspect that abe like

upon Russia. Whether England has really

The English press assumes that Eng
land would have the United States, Japan
and Germany, on her side in event of
quarrel with Russia. 1t is probable that
Russia would not take steps to provoke

the French England it would seem
might rely upon Japan, although it has
been indicated that Russia has placated
that little warlike nation. Certain ~
Japan has reason to remember that she
received the cold shoulder In her war with
China and that in event of war between
En- gland and Russia over control in the
Orient she would hold the key to the
situation. As for the United States
afording England any assistance in such
conflict it would seem that the English
press is over-sanguine. This country
would only protect her rights there and
we should have no more to fear froiL
Russian control in the Orient than from
Epgland's. Perhaps that comparatively
bloodless war In the Orient may have been
but the prelude to the greatest old world
contest ever known, but We can scarcely
think that such an event is probable.
