In another column will be found an
interesting letter from the Chinese
minister, making reply to Rev. DR..
AshmOre. The probabilities are that
in few weeks at the latest our gov
ernment will get to the bottom OF
much that has been mysterious in
Pelin and will then be able to judge
from complete evidence just what its
obligation is to Minister WI. Until
then, it is manifestly unfair to ac-
cuse him, as DR.. Ashmore is reported
to have done, of deceit and cunning.
There is no evidence to sustain the
accusation and there are many indi-
cations that it is unjust. At a time
like this those who cannot. rid their
minds of suspicion would be prudent to
leave their fears unvoiced.

NHE GOV fNMENI at Nash-
ington knows or has the
Il means Of learning not only
how many troops are in
readiness near Tien-Tsin to undertake
a movement for the relief of the be-
leaguered ENJOYS at Pekin but how
soon, with the use of due diligence,
the relief column ought to be able TO
start
If it is true that chickering's and jeal-
ousies among the officers representing
the cooperating nations are retarding
the advance; or if, in addition, the de-
lay is partly due to the reluctance of
the European governments to accept
as genuine Secretary Hays message
from Minister COnger, forwarded
through the efforts of Minister Wu
Ting Fang, reluctance possibly in
spired by jealousy of Americas superior
success in securing means of COmmuni-
cation, then would our government be
supported by the country in giving
prompt orders for the dispatch of the
United States forces. single-handed if
necessary. Let them take the lead and
let the others hold back if they would
dare.
Our paramount purpose in China is
to rescue imperilled American citizens.
This is the supreme duty before which
all other considerations are at this time
subordinate. 1t justiies the taking of
extraordinary hazards. The co-opera-
ton of all the powers would be desir-
able: it may be absolutely necessary,
but a laymans crude guess would be
that if peremptory orders should issue
from Washington to the American
forces in the vicinity of Tien-Tsin to
move on Pekin Immediately the in
itiative would cause the other govern
ments to fall in line.
1t is not profitable now while the
beleaguered Americans in Pekin may
be dying, to consume much time in the
discussion of whether the American
plan or the European plan of dealing
Dramatically with the situation Is
best. We cannot alter the decisions
of the European foreign offices. Nor
are we responsible for their blunders.
The American government owes to it's
minister at Pekn and to the Ameri-
cans who are in peril with him there
the utmost measure of it's possible
protection and the way to redeem this
sacred debt is to act.
That blunt old sea dog, Captain
Bowman II. McCalla, who commanded
the first armed Americans landed in
China during this trouble, pointed the
way when, at a conference of the var
ious commanders, he cut short their
pickering by remarking simply: "Gen-
temen, you may do as you please,
but my minister is in danger and I
Am going to him" True, he failed;
but failure was infinitely more credit
able than inaction.

greatest skill and resource.
Although the plains Of eastern Pat
