ALL LEAVING PEKlN
Even German Legation VIII
Move Elsewhere.
TROOPS TO QUIT BEFORE WINTER
Chinese Capital II an Empty trize
Probably Last Aggressive Act
Of the American Force.

Chicago, Sept. 25.--The Record has
the following from Pekin, under date
OF September l6
Changes in the plans OF the allied
commanders Indicate the evacuation OF
pekin before the winter sets ~ ne
British leaders have connternandei the
order for extensive winter supplies ana
the Americans are also making evident
preparations for departure. At the
same time all foreign residents have
been warned to prepare to leave fekln.
The German legation will soon move
elsewhere and the Russians are already
withdrawing to Tien Tsin and diher-
ent stations in Manchuria. 1t Is also
extremely likely that the Japanese
will make the town of Nagasakl their
winter base instead OF some Chinese
town as was originally their intention.
The missionaries are protesting
against this "desertion.
From North China come reports OF
long series OF disturbances. The at
tempted control of the local authorities
there is synonymous with anarchy ana
the country is only safe where floats
the allied flags. Native Christians are
still being attacked and besieged in
many different places in the province
of Chi Ii.
The allies are beginning to realize
that the city OF Pekin is, after all, All
empty prize. Communication between
the foreign forces. the ENJOYS and the
empress government is next to lnpossl-
bic. The new capital in the province
of Shen 81 is 400 miles from Pekin and
the journey has to be made by cart,
which requires at least 60 days
There has been change III the
American front in the direction OF an
aggressiveness which will probably be
the last important demonstration before
the evacuation. General Wilson, with
500 United States infantry. 600 Brit
ish and six guns, slightly aided by u
German column, marched against the
Boxer city OF Pei la Chu, Ii miles
northwest OF Pekin, and surrounded 1t
with the intention of capturing an
arsenal there. A courier reports to-
dav that General Wilson's attack was
successful from the first. There We're
10 losses Oh the foreign side.
For the present all campaign plans
mean guerilla warfare. Both the mill
tary and the typographical situation in
China forbid anything else.
Efforts at paciiicatlon have resulted
in the return OF IA small number OF reo-
pie to business. The Jealous guarding
of the forbidden city by the allies
makes the Chinese believe that the
foreign leaders are afraid to desecrate
it.
The American authorities here in
tend to urge the severe punishment OF
the persons guilty OF the l'ao ling tn
murders. summary vengeance Will,
il they can effect it, be eNacted for the
slaughter of the Smokes and the
Hodges and pitkin party.
