SERIOUS BUSINESS AHEAD
Even with the Chinese capital occupjed
by the allied forces, 1t is realized thaL
there is still serious business for the
forces inside the city. While they have
preached the outer walls which encircIa
the entire city. yet there are walls with.
In walls and ii remains to be seen wheth-
er an attempt will be to enter the i'm
perial city, forming a distinct section Of
Pekin proper. The inner walls are com
oaratvely light, however. not being
above twenty feet high. and the military
authorities say they cannot withstand
even light artillery If there was any dis
position to breach them Moreover as
the allied troops have preached the great
outer wall fifty feet high and far more
formidable than the inner walls, they
would have comparatively little difficulty
i'll moving where the commanders de-
sired inside the city.
Aside frcm the question of withdrawal
of troops from China there IS the further
question Of the withdrawal Of troops
from PekiD. Both of these questions are
for the present in allegiance. pending
definite news from Gen. Chafee and Min,

immediate withdrawal fl PelIin and

plans will be devised for escorting the
