Won wALDERsEE INTERPRETERS,
London, March iS.-The Times this
morning makes the following an
nouncement: I'VE learn that Count
Won Waldersee has inteTfered as COM
mander-in-chief OF the allied forces In
China TO put an end to the mutually
hostile attitude Of the British and
Russian troops at Tien Tsln."
There Is no confirmation of this state
ment In other quarters, but II has an
air OF extreme probability and will be
received by England with feelings Of
relief.
The Daily Mail, In an editorial, which
frankly faces a disagreeable situation,
says; eve must admit that this Is no
juncture to risk fresh quarrels. Our
armaments are inefficient and our
feet in the far east is so weak that its
position would be pei-llous. II is a
painful process for the nation to have
its face slapped, but until the country
compels the government 10 put our
house in order 1t Is humiliation to
which we must accustom ourselves
