BERLIN, July 14-Interest in the Chi
nese situation here is deepening steadily,
both with the government and the nation.
The preparations for a spec al exp di-
tlon occupy large part of public atten-
ton. Among the officers who will go to
China are q number of the best and most
efficient in the German army. A score
of them have belonged to the general
staff, AMI the number will also include
some who were formerly military instruc-
tors in Tien Tsin and elsewhere.
The greatest care has been taken in
selecting the officers and men. The au-
thorities will send only those who are de-
CARED fit by the doctors for a lengthy
and arduous campaign in a dangerous
climate. In fact the German corps is go
ing to be a really elite corps.
The circular of the minister of foreign
affairs, Count Won Buelow, meets with
singuariy unanimous approval in the
German press, excepting solely the So
ciaHst organs, which continue to abuse
the government for it's so called Welt
machtpoltik (wOrld power policy) claim
ing it has thereby precipitated the Chi
nese crisis The rest of the press and
the nation as a whole fully indorses
Count Won Buelow's policy, CHASING it as
wise, moderate and circumspect.
The attitude of the nation towards the
understanding between the powers eX-
cludes the idea Of Germany seeking sep
ardUe advantage from action in China
No i'll will is shown in the press or by
the public towards any other power in re-
gard to China, unless in the case of some
of the rabid Anglophobe newspapers. The
Deutsche Tages Zeitung points out that
'WnIle al the other powers bend their
efforts 10 subdue China, England alone is
PROSTATE" etc, and with its small force
of mercenaries cannot be trusted be-
cause they are unable to take adequate
part in such tasks Of civilization" The
paper continues:
England is thus relying on others to
get her chestnuts from the fire. Eng
lands impotence is mainly owing to her
rigorous South African war; and the legt-
innate interests of the whole situation
now thereby suffers
But this portion Of the German press
has no influence.
DIFFICULT CAMPAIGN.
Lieut.. Gen. Pochthammer, in Die Woche,
today, discusses the military situation in
China, pointing out the difficulties of a
campaign there for the allies, including
the climate, commissariat, housing,
roads, possible lack of harmony and in
ternational jealousies, saying:
China evidently largely counts on the
latter, or else she would not have been
bold enough to defy the whole western
combination. She expects a large NOR
tally among the European troops during
the rainy season just setting in there"
The government here remains without
conhrmatory news of the losses and ris-
ings in the Klau Chou district
The newspapers are giving more atten-
ton to the Campaign of lies citing as
a proof the recent Chinese reports, charg-
ing that the Chinese are cunningly try
ing to sow discord in the ranks OF the
powers
The Vossische Zeitung says that China
will not eventually succeed in this, as
"even Russia has been forced to acknowl-
edge Chinese duplicity," proofs of which
the VOssiche Zeitung prints in a st. Pe-
tersburg special, saying that Russian
troops, on June "a, intercepted an mperial
edict which ordered the regular troops III
the Russian sphere OF influence 10 join
the Boxers in fighting the foreign
devils. The Vossische Zeitung strong
~ argues it is quite probable there has
not been any palace eruption in Pek ng,
and that the dowager empress still directs
the policy of China, with or without
Prince Tuan's approval, citing internal
evidence to that effect

THE HAY-HOLLEBEN TREATY.
The Hay-HolIeben agreement continues
to excite discussion. The Official rress
has hitherto been silent on the subject

dead, even if the number of dogs uniting
him be twenty to one"
The Militaire Wichenblatt contained the
announcement of ten books by Germany
military writer's on the South African
war. The semi official Post contains an
article alleging that Japan is financially
unable to conduct big war against Chi
ma, claiming she has poor credit ami no
funds!s The writer saddles the olame for
this state Of affairs largely upon Iaran's
Systematic encouragement of foreign
capital and prohibition oe foreigners
holding real estate and also upon the
unfairness Of the courts towards foreign
ers.
This, too the writer adds is the reason
why so many foreign investments in ia
pan are no longer made
