CHINESE CUT CANAL IN EFFORT
TO STAY ADVANCE OF TIE ALLIES

Emperor's utterances made privately this
week az Bremen Haven have become cur
rent, all showing that his indignation
against the Chinese Is still strong as ever.
In official circles here it is stated that
there Is strong divergence on the sub
ject OF the policy regarding China be-
tween the, Emperor and the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, Count Won Buelow. and
that hot words have passed between them
on that subject.
Indications Increase that Germany Is
preparing another large body Of troops
for China. The latest news on this point
has been given by the Frankfurt Zetung,
saying that despite the absence OF official
admission Of the fact, it is certain that
threa other large seamers Of the North
German Lloyd Line have been chartered
for September and that in the Cabinet. an
order is impending for the formation Of
corps of 10000 men. Opposition papers
criticise this because the Reichstag has
not been asked to sanction the step and
point out that another heavy army increase
will be asked at the fall session of the
Re!chstag for the organization of colonial
reserve army.

nights dispatches add nothing to the gen.
eral information concerning the progress Of
events in China. Although the agents OF
the cable company at Tien Tsin, on July

dent that correspondents are not allowed
to cable any account of the advance in
the direction Of Pekin. According to a
dispatch from Shanghai. dated August
Sd, tha principal opposition will be met
twenty miles west Of Tien Tsin, where it
is stated the Chinese have erected exten-
Sive barriers and distractions have been
placed in the river. Mines are said to have
been located. under the railway, the line
apparently being left intact.

taken for the defense of foreign settle
n7ents, the enrolment Of volunteers and
the nresanca of numerous warshipS, and

The British Consul replied by pointing out
that the measures were only intended TO
strengthen the hands OF the lawful Chi
