Orient.

Centers.

southwest China have been forced to
retire 'front.' their posts.
The last detail is particularly alarm

not confined TO the Districts around
SPekin but that fanaticism is flaming
out thruoui the empire. All foreign
interests are imperiled and admirais

problem without agreement among
Their principals in the European capi-5

Iforeign office knows what to do. The
protection Of embassies and railway
property by marines landed from fleets
