The collapse of China in pres
ence Of the British ultimatum
has, to all outward seeming, e&-
ceeded the widest hopes. The
Chinese Government has not even
taken advantage of its fourteen
days Of grace. Within twenty
four hours of the British demand
the offending viceroy has been
4 degraded by Imperial edict, and
declared incapable of ever hold
ing high Office again. That is
swift work, perhaps even a little
too swift for some ambitious
China merchants, who had hoped
that the present trouble might
afford the pretext for large as
sertion of British influence. But
is it real work as we'll as swift
work? The Times is of opinion
that the exemplary punishment
will be felt throughout the whole
governing class. But we turn
over the page to the special arti-
Gle of the Times written before

One morning fair, my baby
Climbed up into my bed,
And down upon my shoulder
She laid her little head.
She had her precious dolly

She told me how she loved It,
She kissed its battered face.

For only one short day,
Give me her precious dolly
To take with me away.
