correspondent of The Telegraph reas-
serts that Russia has annexed Manehu-
ria. lie says that no official denials or
disavowals of Russia's desire for territo-
rial acquisitions can dispose of fact
which is already accomplished. The
Times St Petersburg correspondent
deals lengthy with the same subject,
contending that the matter is in the
hands of the military leaders, who will
apply the recent orders for the demobili-
cation of the troops and their withdrawal
only when they see fit. He says that
these orders are qualified by reservations
and exceptions. and adds that, whatever
may he said in official disclaimers, no
body in St. Petersburg doubts for a mo-
ment that Manchuria is completely un-
der Russian domination and will continue
virtually so in one form or another.

willing to pay the price of n panic for
