ALARM FELT IN CHINA.
Path of Peaceful Solution Beset with
 Oihiculties.


 Pekin, Dec. 3.-!The optimistic feeling in some quarters concerning war between Japan and Russia are not shared by the other diplomats at Pekin whose knswI- edge of the political situation of affairs entities that opinion t0 the highest con sideration. It is positively known that the 1apahesS GoyefnDlelt has drawn the line for a -settiement beyond which it will not make any material concessions, and that she is determined to fight before yielding what she considers to be her vital interests. It is believed that unless Russia comedies important points another exchange of notes will preclpitate mat ters.
 It is also believed that Japan will re- fuse any arrangement holding in abey- ance the question of the evacuation of Manehuria which was one of the terms of the s-proposed arTangements recently an bounced from sts aHtef Ahiirg, and which IL is hosG snFp pOsdaa1 1ssa attended by the ana6soNaEnEaant-as~a a.

 It May Prevent Japan's Going t

Berlin, Dec. 2,-The German foreign off, ice in estimating the probabilities of war in the far East fixes it's attention at this moment on Great Britain rather than on Japan, for 1t is recognized that Japan is only waiting for Great Britain to give the word before beginning hostilities. A new and even portentous element in the situation as it is looked upon here, is the rising feeling in Great Britain that Rus sia must yield or Japan and Great Britain ought to fight her.
 The Associated Press learns from the highest diplomatic source that the Ger man Government. while still refusing to BSAefb1thktTM9fig g8 kektain, being con- vinced now that if war between Russia and Japan comes, Great Britain will take part in 1t. because the British Govern ment looks upon war as possibly the only means of saving and re-es tablishing her position in the east.
 Sir Frank Lascelles, the British Ambas- sador who returned here from England three days ago, is understood to have im- parted his impression unofficially to the German Government that the British cab inent apprehended that war would result if Russia persisted in her present attitude toward Japan. This expression of opin- ion by the ambassador was stripped of all suggestion that Great Britain might parti- cipate, but great significance is attached to 1t. l. 'N
