Berlin, August 1.-THE belief still pre-
walls here that the allied forces have not
undertaken the Pekin advance and that
the recent actions at Pei Tsang ard Yang
Tsun were solely meant to secure the
strategic tenure of Tien Tsin against the
Chinese troops sent from Pekin or from
the South, as Yang Tsun dominates both
railroad and river communication The
military authorities here also maintain
that an advance upon Pekin with the
present forces and lacking an officer in
chief command would be equivalent to
failure and enormous losses. The Tor.
eign Office wholly distrusts the reliability
of the news that Lii Hung Chang has
been empowered TO negotiate for peace
and the German press comedies to that
view.
The news received here that the Uni
ted States is satisfied with the appoint
ment Of Field Marshal Count Won Wal
dersee to the chief of the al
lied forces has created deep satisfac-
ton, as for a time, it was feared the Uni
ted States, might with Great Britain. OBJ
ject, thus frustrating military harmony.
The news cabled here that the United
States is now DESTROYS of bringing about
a clear diplomatic understanding regard
ing the intended extent Of the expedition
is received by the Foreign Office favor
ably, since the aims of the United States,
viz, the re-establishmCnt of order, the
awarding Of damages to Americans for
injury, and guarantees against the re-
currence of similar events, tally precise
ly, SO the Foreign Office Declares, with
the German program. 1t is here sur
missed, however, that such diplomatic ne
gotlations will rot meet the appreciation
OF Great Britain and Russia, whose enor-
nous sacrifice IN men and money owing
to Chinese troubles seem indeed worth
some equivalents. Regarding Great Brit
aims apparent designs upon the Yang Use
Valley, particularly Shanghai, Germany
will not allow their realization, and in
this France supports Germany and. it is
hoped here, the United States will also
do so, since such contravenes the open
door policy. Germany, before long, will
have a good sized force in Shanghai &c
checkmate single-handed the British
schemes there. The correspondent OF tn,
Associated Press, hears that a brigade
of five thousand men is now forming and
will proceed to Shanghai for that pur
pose and to protect German commerc;a!
interests in the Yang Use Valley, notably
at Shanghai and Hanjoi.
The German press ommen anent tIt
present situation is varied. The LCka'
A~nzeiger deems it probable that FieI5
Marshal Won Waldersee will not be bed
ded in roses in China, owing partly to tho
manifest lack of harmony among the pow.
