1t is generally believed that the latcs :

Information from reliable source
has reached here that the revolution

result in rupture unless the imperial

Most of the powers apparently are
reconclled TO the inevitable tendency of

No Intervention intended.
Neither Japan nor Great Britain has
any intention of intervening in any
way In China, much less of imposing
any form of government on that coun-
try.
