vOcate Of Chinese neutrality in the
corps of the imperial advisors. The
empress is said TO be in somewhat of 2
dilemma. The conviction is growing
on her that China is the real stake of
the war and that it is necessary to pre-
pare 10 resist absorption whichever OF
the two nations at war proves victor
iOus. The result may be that China
instead of joining hands with Japan, as
has been prophesied. will take up arms
against both and that the fight will be-
CCme a three-cornered one.
