to do police work, to protect the lives

men, and those who may have been sent
to add to the existing turmoil and to
steal another province as quietly and as
expeditiously as possible.
If the Chinese could only keep cool
and take an interest in the things which
so nearly and SO vita.ly concern them
and their national existence. they would
now be showing an immense amount OF
interest in the exchanges of compliments
which are taking place between the semi
official papers of Toxic and the organs
of the Russian foreign Office, and they
would be bothering their heads but little
concerning the shades of meaning be-

her activities. Here. the Russian editors
say. the Japanese know the local con-

not fail to be happy, and they warn their
dear friends of today, albeit enemies of
yesterday, that they should hold them
selves In readiness and not be caught

is falling over China.
All of which is ominous and certainly
