EUROPEAN CONCERT OUT OF TUNE.
While There Is Evidence That China Has
Been Preparing for This Trouble.

Been Preparing Tor Il his Trouble.
London. July 19.-While evidence
accumulates daily that China has long
been preparing a formidable military
organization In anticipation of the
present conflict, and that the area
of rebellion is continually extending,
harmony among the allies, which is
necessary To meet such a grave situa-
ton, is still deplorably lacking. The
Russians h We refused Admiral Sey-
mour's request to hand over the re-
stored Taku-Tein-Tsin railway to the
English company. and il is rumored
that Germany purposes taking "A seri-
Gus independent Step-namely, to pa
troll the Yang-tse-Kiaug with German
men-Of-war. Such step would be
greatly resented by England.
Still more alarming news has been
conveyed to The Daily Express from
Toxic, to the effect that the apparent
reluctance of Germany and Russia to
consent to n Japanese commander for
the army corps has led the Japanese
government 10 delay the forwarding Of
the division already mobilized.
The Standard. in an alarmist edi-
torial says: 1T is useless any longer
to hide from ourselves the fact that
China has declared war on civilization,
and has plunged into the conflict with
rabid frenzy. IT is equally futile to
discuss whether hoStilities are being
waGed by the Chinese government, in
asmuch as il is evident that an admin
iStration of some kind exists and is di-
recting the anti-foreign movement. Tn
less unmistakable evidence eXculpat-
ing the Peking government is prompt

China as Il belligerent state and act
accordingly \ similar line of com
ment is taken by the other morning
