the allied armies toward Pekln. for the
rescue Of the foreigners besleged there.

ate the conflict was, Is the story told IN
the brief bulletin announcing the losses
70 the intornatopals. About eight per
cent Of the allied force OF 1900 men has
been placed hors du combat. The Chi
nese were defeated, and Il IS GER
tainty that their loss IS much heavier
than that Of their antagonists.
This battle is significant as showing
the determination Of the Chinese gov
eminent 70 resist to the utmost the
advance Of the internauonals. The
Mohgolian officials know well that the
only present purpose Of that column

real design OF the Chinese government

out bringing with Il the certainty Of
terrible vengeance on the heather enc
