Editorial Comment.

The Chinese imbro -lo lCdich at one time
threatened tbe WORLDS peace most seriously
has a narently been settled satisfactorily
and most Of the powers I've lCithdrawr
the greater part of 'helr forces from Pckn.
ou'i q sufficient numbe~ having heeu lef
there to properly defend the legations l.
is more than gratifying to the American
people that the conduct Of their trocns dur
ing the invasion has been So regulated that
few Of the criticisms that have been laid
against the forces Of the other nations car
apply TO them.
From FIRST to last our course has been
humane, the American army, save in a
few individual and irresponsible instanceF,
RETAINED from looting and rs for the muT-
der Of defeuseleSs women and children we
took no part in It, Ga the other hand the
Russians AID the French in some instances
surpassed in their brutality the tiendlsbness
Of the Turkish troops in Armenia.
AS moral force IN eilectng a peaceful
settlement OF the difficulties the United
States has been m ST pOSe fui, the attitude
Of our state department has been calm and
finn and its demands have been 70. justice
tempered with mercy. At the present mo-
uent we are Protesting against the amount
Of the indemnity, which IN the view Of ouT
government is excessive, and more than
China can pay bat in this the general voice
o! the powers seems to be against US.
