been going on for weeks, bat great
secrecy has necessarily been main
tanned.
Aside from the known fact that the
Philippine forces have already been
greatly augmented and the Aslatlc
feet increased, the state department
is keeping
Its Program Secret.
OF the total number of Americans
now in China, it is estimated that not
less than 1,400 are engaged in Chris.
tan mission work.
1t is roughly estimated that there
are 5000 Americans engaged in COM
mercial pursuits in China, all of whom
are victims of the boycott. In addi-
ton to these it is estimated that there
are 1,500 other Americans in China in
the employment of Chinese merchants
and manufacturers, who heretofore
have been paid good wages, but who
have been driven from their employ
ment by the anti-American spirit.
United States Will Act Alone.
One thing. the United States is act
ing alone. Nearly all the anti-foreign
sentiment in China is directed at
Americans. There is some hostility to
the French and Germans, but none
toward Japan and England
All the countries mentioned have
been benefited by the boycott on
American goods.
Therefore, if Pekin is again taken,
as it was in the Boxer uprising of
1900, the feat is likely to be accom-
plished by American soldiers.
That all preparations being made to
meet the emergencies are being made
on a scale commensurate with the
task is indicated by the unprecedented
activity at the various army posts and
munition factories.
Disquieting News Concealed.
1t is currently reported here that
the administration has not made pub
lie the most disquieting of its dis
patches relating to China.
Secretary Root has been a busy
man for several weeks. He has eX-
changed cablegrams with our repre-
sentatives in Japan, Great Britain and
China, with view to seeing if some
thing could not be done to avert the
impending trouble. But his replies
have not been entirely satisfactory.
Japan, it is asserted officially, is not
a party to the trouble, but on the 9th
er hand is willing to do what she can
to remove it. Great Britain, as Jap
ans ally, is of similar mind.
