Washington, July 31.-Should events
disclose that further reliance can not
be placed upon assurances of the safety
of Minister Conger in Pekin, Minister
WI will be told to leave the United
States, and large exodus of Chinese
throughout the country is looked
for. The dismissal of the Chinese
minister will mean that this govern
ment will have no further official
dealings with the Chinese government,
and this action will practically amount
to a declaration that the United States
is ready for war. The position of
Minister WI is an unusually trying
one, as he will be the first to feel the
brunt of the consequences of his gov
ernment's deceptive policy in dealing
with this country and the strain he is
undergoing is telling on his health.
