ground carefully they found that the
mail from all the points which had
reported losses passed through the Of

to locate the thief there. Suspicion
finally rested on Clammer, and decoy
letters, with money enclosed, were sent
so they would have to pass through

were mailed on Thursday and Friday,
all containing from dollar and a

: Tne war in China goes on. The Al
lied forces captured Pekin the Capital
City on the 18th Of August, that IL they
captured part Of the city In which the
foreign ministers and missionaries
and foreign business men were confin-
ed. 1t Is queer situation. An indus
triOus and populous nation with pow
erful rebellion going on, 80 powerful
that 1t cannot protect the foreigners in
their midst, but can protect the Chinese
government from overthrow. That
has been the Chinese situation In Pek-
in. The regular government there was
in power, but claims that in the same
city Of Pekin it was not strong enough
to prevent the rebels from driving the
foreigners into corner and there sur
rounding them and firing upon them.
1t is the profession Of the Chinese gov
that 1t could not nlaintain it's
own dignity and make the foreigners
safe i'm life and property that caused the
United States to send an army there to
protect the lives of Americans and pro
tect their property. The attack Of the
allies on Pekin was made on the l4th
of August. The Japanese army was
the first to enter the city. They storm
ed the outside wall on the Tartar side
of the city. Pekin covers as much
ground as New York city. The Jap
anese lost in the fight 100 men. The
Chinese loss was 400. The Americans
entered the city the same day under
Chaffree. Eight Americans
were wounded. Now that they have
the ministers what's to be done Is q
question that is easier asked than ans
wered. Will an International Con-
gress have to be called where all the
nations interested can send representa-
lives to determine the questions between
China and the powers and the ques-
ton between the Chinese themselves.
