BERLIN, July 2L-The Chinese situa-
ticn takes on a radically different shape
from news which has reached here from
Russia. What Europe hitherto knew
about the troubles in Manchuria was
what the Russian government chose tc
let pass. Now a number of reports, some
Of them official, but majority private,

which tally in the main and paint the
situation in Chinese Manchuria and along

supposed.
The Associated Press correspondent has
obtained at the Russian embassy here a
partial, though cautious confirmation Of
the above statement. y military con-
tnbutor to the Tageblatt says official
Russian news showed that Chinese regu-
lar troops, aided by irregulars, in all
numbering about 10000, are in open war
against Russia. They not only demanded
the withdrawal of the Russians from

PARIS, July 21.-Is it anarchy or war?
If this question were answered to the
entire satisfaction of the powers there
might be some light on the future situa-
ton in China, but with the absolute lack
of trustworthy information all are acting
in the dark. No one Is willing to hazard
a guess as to what the outcome IS TO be.
The powers recognize, in the extension
Of the present anti-foreign movement,
the birth of a spirit of patriotism which
they never met with before in their deal
ings with the Chinese people. In the
ChinO-Japanese war Central and South
ern China held aloof

of the foreign office, to a representative
of the Associated Press, is apparently
This time the powers have to deal not
merely with the defenders Of the Manchu
dynasty, but, to all appearances, with
an uprising OF the mass of Chinese peo-
pie, who imagine that the European
powers for the past two years have been
aiming, not to overthrow the dynasty,
but to seize China. This seems to have
given rise to spirit of patriotism. We
fear that North China will not alone be
involved in the anti-foreign outburst

POCATELLO. July 21.-The PoRulists
held an exciting session Of their con-

Democrats the night before Of the ulti-

The Populists would not withdraw the
uittmatum, however, and another fruitIess
session Of the conference committee was
held.
The Democrats offered the PopuIlsts
congressman, auditor and mine inspector.
and offered the Silver Republicans sena-

And the wrath of the war-where the
lightning was shed,
And the thunder of battle roared round

Where rifles once ratified.
Where braVely they battled.
Their hands clasp in 5rotherly blessing

A feast in the trenches where no more

And the eyes of the angels-.that wept

Under the daisies and under the rain

They are brothers once more

hills remain.
Fore God it is glorlous-victorious to
see
The Blue and the Gray where Loves
banners float free,
To know that they stand with a faith
that holds fast
After the strife reunited at last
Wave, bright flags, above them,
We greet them-we love them
In the peace of the present on the field
of the past.
One day from those trenches grim foe
faced his foe;
But It's SO long ago now-it's SO long
