CHINA GROWS ANXIOUS
About Her own Integrity in the
Event of War

Pekin, Dec. 22.-The Chinese officials
are awakening to the peril confronting
China in the event of a Russo Japanese
war, and they are greatly distressed.
WI Ting Fang has been urging the
United States legation, on his own re-
sponsibility, to seek a special audience
of the Dowager Empress and impress
ON her China's perilous position and
the need of a strong army and minis
ters acquainted with foreign affairs.
China will attempt to remain neutral,
though, doubtless, she will be subject
ed to strong japanese pressure to par
ticipate in conflict for the preserva-
ton of her integrity. The officials here
recognize that the remnant of China's
sovereignty in Manchuria is lost If
Russia succeeds and, sees the difficulty
of China avoiding becoming entangled
in a war on her own territory.
