CHINA AND HER CLAIM.

China will begin fruitless nego.
tiation when she demands of Russia
and Japan reimbursement OF her
citizens in Manchuria for the war
ravages. Even though the proposal
is coupled with an offer to submit to
The Hague tribunal both the equity
and the amount of the claims, IL is
certain to receive scant courtesy.
So far as Japan is concerned an
effective counter claim can be urged.
Japan, when she began the work of
expelling the Russians from Chinese
territory, undertook a task which
China herself should have assumed.
The war was waged as much in be-
half of China as of Japan. 1t is poor
gratitude TO neighbor who thus va
liantly interfered in her behalf to
suggest that this neighbor Is re-
sponsible for incidental damage done
while the eiecting movement was Ia
progress. Gazette.

and death is sure, and all that sort
