Berlin. Sept. 15.-The Chinese situa-
ton is here deemed to be highly un-
satisfactory and most complicated,
though no sensational events are i'm
mediately expected and isolated action
upon the part of any one Power Is not
anticipated. According TO the opinion
here all the Interested Powers are too
firmly convinced of the Importance of
continued harmony and solidarity to
jcopardizc them when no necessity
calls for 1t. il is not expected in Ber-
lin that either RUSSIA or France will
Withdraw their troops hurriedly from
Pckin. ana 1T is believed the United
States Will not he in any greater hurry.
Information has reached this city that
Russia, In any event. Will keep large
bodies Of troops in China, not only in
the frontier provinces Of Mongolia.
Manchuria and kirn. but also in the
interior and the coast districts of Pc
Chi Ii. The military commanders of
the allied forces have agreed that un-
der any circumstances IL is necessary
TO strengthen the tactical and strategy
cal portion of the international troops
in Pech Ii. Russia. too, will finish
the railroad from Yang Tsu to Peiin.
Regarding Germany's attitude she
VIII in any case insist on severe pun
ishment being inflicted on the treach-
erous Chinese authorities, TO which
purpose the confession of Baron Won
Eettler's assassin came OPPORTUNITY.
WONT ACCEPT YUNG LII.
Germany will not accept General
Yung Lu as Il peace negotiator, If the
charges made against Yung Lu, that
he led the attacks against the Pekin
legations. are proved. But Germany,
though her Foreign Office insists on
the principle of severe punishment,
does not oppose peace with China. as
shown yesterday by DIR. Mumm Won
Schwarzcnstein, the German Minister
to China, accepting Ii Hung Changes
visit at Shanghai.
The German papers are filled with
mail correspondence from China. mostly
describing in detail events until shortly
before the march upon Pcliin. All these
letters agree in saying that Germany
was the only Power not permitting
looting and maintaining the strictest
discipline among her troops.
THE GERMAN LOAN.
The papers to-day nearly all condemn
the placing of the German loan in the
United States as unnecessary and cal
culated TO humiliate the nation. The
VosSiSche Xeitung prints figures show
ing the imperial government had 40
mllliOn marks on ntnu, ana says:
"Why. then, borrow abroad, thus put
ting Germany on q par -witis-Russia and
smaller and less moneyed countries :?
The empire would not have found it
difficult to raise the amount here with
out the aid OF any bank"
The Boersen Courier. Boersen lei
tung and Cologne Volks Zeitung ex-
press themselves similarly.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns, however. 1nthOrit tivaIV
that German Government circles have
been most agrecably touched by the
manner in which the German loan has
been taken up in the United States.
