CHINESE VICTORY
Foreshadowed by Recent

Says London Spectators Civilized

ECMOR THAT KALGAN ExPEDI-
TON SUFFERED REPULsE

London. Dec. Ia A. M.-The Spec
! tator in a striking article dealing with
the Chinese crisis. expresses the opin-
ION that the most recent developments
at Pekin fOreshadow Chinese victory
over the allies.
The quarrel has been brought to the
test of force" it says, land force ~,
the civilized side has proved ins,:ff, :
Gent. The result is mainly due to the
attitude of Russia and the United
States. II China escapes with the pay
inent Of u small indemnify and many
promises on paper. it seems not unlike
ly, since Germany and Great Britain
may not be willing to incur the expen-
tliture and risk involved in persisting
in their demands, it will be equivalent
TO a victory for China, for nothing has
occurred which will convince the Chi
nese that their mighty Empress has
been defeated or that Europe can
avenge any future massacres.'
The Shanghai correspondent of tho
Morning Post. wiring yesterday. says:
'.All our Inconsistencies amount TO 2
miserable farce. We have TO more
courage to DO than to talk. In the Chi
nesc theatre here the allies are repre-
scented by n soldier with an enormous
mouth. who does nothing but talk I'M
til his career is ended by decapitatf0n.

lievcd to be returning to that distric!
