japan and Peiping.

In case Japan occupies Peiping, as
now seems imminent, peculiar and
difficult situation will arise in respect
to the foreign representations there
established. For diplomatic purposes
Peiping is the capital of China. When
the political or administrative capital
was removed to Nanking, some half a
dozen years ago, the foreign powers
elected to maintain their legations
where they had been located for many
years previously. The reason for this
was that greater security was assured
in the northern city, which Is more
easily reached from the sea than
Marking The experiences Of 1900,
when the Boxer rebellion occurred and
the legations were beseiged for many
weeks. with severe losses, were too
vividly remembered to permit transfer
of the diplomatic establishments to a
place where succor, in case OF need,
would be more difficult than even at
Peiping. which was reached by the
international expeditionary force only
in the nick of time to prevent whole
sale slaughter of the foreign represent
atives and their proteges. Certain
changes were effected in the immediate
surroundings of the legation city,"
where the diplomats are located, a large
space being cleared away on three sides
of the quadrangle, with the great Tartar
wall standing as q bulwark on the
south.
In the event of the Japanese oc-
cupation OF Peiping the anomaly will
be presented of the diplomatic capital
Of China held by the forces Of one Of
the powers with which China has now
no official relations. While 1t is likely
that Japan will be scrupulously careful
to protect the legations Of the other
powers and hold open the lines Of COM
munication between them and Marking,
to which the foreign representatives
ere formally accredited, the effect will
be Of the maintenance Of the legations
at the sufferance Of Japan, which alone
of the powers will have no relations
with Marking.
Throughout the troubled years Of the
civil wars which followed the change
of the capital from Peiping to Nanking
the foreign legations in the former
city, which was at times closely beset
by the rebel troops, suffered no great
inconvenience and were exposed to no
particular danger The war lords
were careful not to trespass upon the
international area or to expose it to
the stress of battle. The words Lest
We Forget" significantly painted on
fragment Of the wall that bounded the
British legation compound during the
Boxer siege. were well understood by
the Chinese authorities, both govern
ment and insurgent.
Japan was herself sufferer in the
siege Of 1900, and no doubt the memory
of that bitter experience has been kept
alive at Toxic. Yet however careful
the Japanese may be to preserve the
privileges Of the foreign representa-
tives at the northern capital of China,
the fact will remain in the event Of
occupation that the legations will stand
on what is for the time being alien
territory.

SHOOTING STARS.

Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes.
How often, as from day to day
The world puts drama on display,
I've wondered as to what it means
And longed to look behind the scenes.
The loud majestic battle song
The melodies that move the throng-
Their singers admiration strike.
I long to see just what they're like.
From where I sit the show proceeds
On lines that seem to meet our need
While palaces or forests rise
Meath tranquil or tempestuous skies.
Yet well know that speeches grand
Are learned with patience at command
And that the trees and castles tall
If jostled probably will fall.
Behind the scenes long to be.
The wonder working there to see.
Yet my illusions still I clutch.
It's better not to see too much!
