Chinese astronomical instruments from Pekn wish
heartily this time that they had had anything to

the press The Cologne Gazette which is semiofical,
tried to create discussion by limiting that the articles had
been paid for not stolen but the theory quickly dis
proved The Vosssche Zeung pointed out that Germany
was not at war with China but only conducting a
war like operation China consequently had right
to remove property which not material of and
take the possession of Chinese state court The
clear day. impossible to deny to
cloak them" The comment became more bitter when it
was known that the government had offered to restore
the stolen goods and that the Chinese had declined to
cept them preferng possibly, to leave them where they
would act as a perpetual and painful reminder. The
North German remarked that relations between

pretty equally divided between the Pops and Democrats

force all Pops to become Democrats or that all Democrats
must otherwise join the Pop party What was aimed at
simple fairness compelling these political divisions
to march under their own banners respectively. But
the thing hasn't worked that way As it turns out the
Democrats are likely to lose their identity in this state
party for the simple reason that the Pops who claim
outnumber the Democrats have concluded to go and
capture the Democratic organization bodily. appropriate
