INVASION OF SIBERIA.
London, July 1S-If the news of q
Chinese invasion Of Siberia proves true
1t will. of course, immensely compli-
cate the situation from an International
point of view. 1t was announced on
July 13 that the Chinese peremptorily
ordered all Russians to quit Manchu-
ria, but no one imagined that they
would be audacious enough to break
out of their own country and attack
Russian territory. Such an attack, of
course constitutes in itself a declara-
ton of war, rendering formal notifi-
cation needless. The separate attack
by the Chinese on Russia means giving
Russia, according to the views ex-
pressed in Europe. nm additional ex-
cuse for an isolated descent on Pekin
and an additional claim to assert q
greater influence than the other powers
and to obtain greater compensation.
The latest Chinese assurances of the
safety of the European legations at Pc
kin are not credited here. On the con-
trary, it Is believed that these assur-
ances are dictated by a desire to save
the native city of Tien Tsin. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Shanghai
wires under date of July 16 that there
is hardly any doubt that Sheng. the
Chinese administrator of telegraphs, Is
Withholding information. The news of
the massacre already cabled to the
United States is taken as correct.
