JAPS BLUFFING CHINA
Threat to Seize Russian Warships at
SHANGHAI Considered Political Move.


Shanghai Considered Political Move.
st, Petersburg, Aug. 1S.-The report
that Japan has sent an ultimatum TO
China threatening to repeat the Rye
shltelni incident in the case of the
Cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat
destroyer GrozovO at Shanghai, espe-
eially after it was understood that Rus
STA had already agreed to the disarma-
ment OF these vessels, is regarded here
more as political than a military
move, the purpose of which is to over
awe the Pekin government and to
compel it henceforth to turn deaf ear
to Russia and to recognize Japan as
the dominant power in the Far East.
it being inconceiVable that a western
power would permit Japan to carry
out her threat to engage in hOStiltes
in the neutral waters of China.
The Russian authorities, who under
stand thoroughly the effect of dis
play OF force upon the Pekin govern
ment. appreciate how greatly China
has been already impressed by the un'
broken record Of japanese successes
on sea and land, and are inclined to
believe that Japans act is designed
to compel China to stand firm against
Russia's demands in the Ryeshitelni
AFFAIR. to which China's first reply was
unsatisfactory.
Should Russia then regard China as
the active ally Of Japan, the purpose
of the United States and other powers
in seeking to limit the area of the war,
to prevent disorders and to preserve
the neutrality of China. might be de.
feated- The whole situation is cOnsid-
cred to be fraught with the possibili.
ties of ugly complications unless Japan
listens to the friendly counsel of the
powers, whose advice in the case OF
the Ryeshitelni, 1t IS understood, she
has declined to follow.
