ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.-Three
hundred thousand soldiers from the
various military districts are en-
route for China. While no informa-
tion is given out as to the destina.
tion OF this force, il is believed an
early attack on Pekin is contem-
plated.
One hundred and eighty army
surgeons went through here on their
way to Khabarovsk, to join the
forces that are proceeding to the
front. Several strong Red Gross
corps will shortly bo sent to China
by way OF Moscow. There are at
present 400 military ambulances in
operation with the Russian army.

SHANGHAI, July %. - Ii Hung
Chang, who arrived here Saturday,
on his way to Pekin, said to-day:
"The members OF the Legations
are still alive, but an advance OF the
allied troops upon Pekin from Ten
Tsin would probably be the death
herald OF every white man in Pekin.
"Then the conservative element
would be entirely overpowered by
the radicals.
"The causes OF the present situa.
tion were the lack of backbone and
a wrong policy on the part OF the
Chinese Government, while the dras-
tic measures of the foreign Powers
aggravated the situation.
"We thank the Americans for their
friendship, which we have always
appreciated, and Admiral Kemplf

With hopes raised to the highest
pitch by the Couger message, ouly

world has been kept in suspense by
these official bulletins from China.
Iu spite OF Sir Claude McDonald's
letter to the German Consulate at

WASHINGTON, July 22.- Minister
WI places such confidence in the
genuineness OF Mr.. Conger's dis

Chinese Government is protecting

he has agreed to deliver Minister
Conger into the hands OF Admiral

At the end Of this month the

OF registration adopted by Mr., Dole,
but we ask every would-be voter
who meets with trouble at the
Board of Registration to communi-
cate with the central committees or
with The INDEPi NDENT. We will zee
that justice ia done and that no
game of bluff on the part of the
missionary clique will prevail. We
urge the voters to go to the Regis

orders from political headquarters.
The first election will take place in
November and we must be ready for
action then.

While the men held exercises III Car

great woman's mass meeting in Car

great public meeting in the same place
in the evening. At the morning session

of Missionary Comfy" was discussed
by Dr. H NJ. King, chairman of the
executive committee American Baptist
Missionary union, and Union ana Co
operation Practicable and Desirable
by the Rev. Dr. 7. NJ. Lindsay OF the
Free Church of Scotland, Glasgow; "A
General Summary" by Rev. DR.. Alex
ander Sutherland, secretary Of the mis-
sionary society Of the Methodist
church. A discussion Of the papers fol-
lowed DR.. King was the first speaker.
DR.. Sutherland, who followed Dr.
King. said:
In the rapid development now taking
place and that may be expected in the
future, it is quite possible that mistakes
made in the home fields may be re-
peated on large scale abroad, result
ing in waste Of money, waste OF effort,
the retarding Of self-suppOrt and the
creation of jealousies and antagonisms
among missionaries of different boards.
The conviction is evidently growing
that a time has come when these pos
sf5ilties should be honestly faced, and
such mutual understanding reached as
will obviate the overlapping Of work
and the unnecessary multiplication OF
agencies in fields that are fairly well
supplied so that destitute fields may be
more quickly reached and occupied.
There are strong reasons why al
least churches holding the same gen.
eral system Of doctrine and church
order should consider whether a close
or even an organic union would not bS
in the interest Of the work of Goo
among the heather. The compare
lively recent union of five Methodist
bodies in Canada and of the Presby-
terrain churches in both Canada anC
Japan, are illustrations Of what may b'
accomplished in this direction, if only
there be, first of all, a willing mind"
