The deepest concern is prevalent here
over t4e situation in China in view Of
the aa.sance of the Chinese society on
Iien-tfis the ordering Of Russian troops
to Pesing and the growing suspicion
that klissia is secretly fomentiny the
Chincsa society movement in order to

signs tn China without reference to the
rights 4 other powers.

force at Taku is alleged to have stopped.

persist in sending such preponderance
Of military force to the front collision
with Japan will inevitably result.

De Giers, has made another attempt to
induce the Chinese foreign Office (tsung |
li-yamen) to formally request Russian as
