that Germany harbors no idea of terri
toIial ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Russia, on her part, agrees not to in
terfere with Germany's trade in Russa's
sphere of influence in China after order
has been re-established.
The first result of this understanding
has been the issuance of strict orders to
the Russian press to omit all hostile press
criticisms regarding Germany action in
China
In this latter agreement Count Won Bue-
low has the support of the influential
Conservative party, with It's court, army
and navy ramifcati tons, whose programme
the Kreuz Zeitung has just defined
Germany will join the Picking cam
paign only as all the other powers shall
do so. Her sphere of influence and her
main action must not Transcend Shan
Tung. There is no question of new terri
tory Germany must recognize any
Chinese government able and willing to
accord repara ton and adjustments. Her
Chinese interests will be best served in
accord with France and Russia"
The Berliner Tageblatt's correspondent
at ST. Petersburg declares that it can
not be doubted that Russia is preparing
for a separate campaign against Picking,
via the north, by land. He adds that
Russia does not believe the allied cam
paign from Ten Tsin will be successful
or in time.
In reply to questions put by the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent leading for
eign office official said:
''There has been no agreement between
| the powers regarding the size of the force
to be sent to China. Each power Is send
ing the force she can spare. There has
| been no exchange of notes, but the UNI
| derstanding seems to prevail that each
! power will send a contingent adequately
into In
| China, commercially or territorially.'
The last series of Chinese attempts to
f-gloss over the ugly facts in China, which
| have been undertaken in Washington,
London and st. Petersburg, and by ii
| Hung Chang, at Canton, is regarded here
| as a revival of the Chinese cunning
| campaign of lies for the purpose of pro-
| voking discord among the powers, and Of
| retarding and weakening the joint cam
| paign. has
The Chinese minister. Lii, Hal Nan. has
! not yet reported to the foreign Office
| copy of the document presented by his
| colleagues in Washington, London and
| Paris Since he has been forbidden by
| Count Won Buelow to send any more
| cipher kilograms, and thus being de-
prived of forwarding Information re-
l. garding the military preparations, he
| has not ventured out of the Chinese leSa-
ton. Acting upon his advice a majority
| of the Chinese residents in Germany
| have left the country during the last two
| days srRsH
| The impression in official circles here is
that the situation is growing steadily
worse, and that the anti-foreign move
ment is spreading. 1t is believed that Ii
| Hung Chang is playing false.
The Kreuz Zeitung today ridicules the
! idea of appointing a Britisher as chief
| commander over the international forces,
saying:
1--WE know from a good source that the
! Russians would not fight under either a
| British or Japanese commander"
! Speaking of the Chinese ornaments
the IIreuz Zeitung says:
! British manufacturers of arms are
now engaged in selling weapons to the
| Chinese, and they will continue to do SO
until the indignation of the world stops
| them Germany, Immediately after the
outbreak of hostilities, issued prohibit
| ton OF the export of arms to China; but
| Mr. Chamberlain and the entire British
cabinet favors export even now, and We
! may point for proof to the recent de-
| bate in the British parliament on the sub
! ject."
DR.. Mumm Won Schwarenstein, the
newly appointed German minister to
| China, will leave next Tuesday by the
/ North German Lloyd steamship Prussien,
| for Genoa, accompanied by the newly
| appointed secretary of legation, Herr Won
Bohlen. He will leave The Prussien at

will depend upon Instructions that will
