interfere with Germany's trade in
Russia's sphere OF influence in China
after order has been re-established
The first result Of this understanding
has been the issuance of strict orders
by the Russian censorship to omit
henceforth all hostile press criticism
regarding Germany's action in China.
In reply to questions put by the cor
respondents a leading foreign Official
said:
There has been no agreement be-
tween the powers regarding the sizes
of the forces to enter China. Each
power is sending the number that she
can spare"
The latest series Of Chinese at
tempts to gloss over the ugly facts in
China, which has been undertaken in
Washington, London and St. Peters,
burg, and by Ii Hung Chang at Can
ton, is regarded here as a revival Of
the Chinese cunning campaign of lies
Tor the purpose of provoking discord
among the powers and Of retarding
and weakening the joint campaign.
The Chinese minister, Lu Hal Huan
has not yet presented to the foreign
Office a copy of the document pre-
sented by his colleagues in Washing
ton, London and Paris. Since he has
been forbidden by Count Won Buelow
to send any more cipher kilograms,
and thus been deprived of forwarding
Information regarding the military
preparations, he has not ventured out
of the Chinese legation. Acting upon
his advice, a majority of the Chinese
residents in Germany have left the
country during the last two days.
The impression in official circles
here is that the situation is growing
steadily worse, and that the anti-for-
eign movement is spreading. II is
believed that III Hung Chang is play
ing false.
