BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Worry ovér the plight of the for- eigners held by Chinese bandits has deepened here. The spectacle-of all sitting by I;.lplorlnx a weak .central government In China to grant the de- mands of the bandits for ransom and even other concessions and discuss details after the foreigners are re- leased is not one which experienz=d Tim was when foreign offices were ready to use their entire military and naval resources to invoke respect for their demands, when even the British gov- | ernment,’ notably more aggressive in protecting the lives of its mationals than any other of the powers, would issue stern warning, and follow up its demands without delay. ! Procrastination Explained. Procrastination today is being. ex- | cused on the ground that any offen- | sive undertaking against *he bandits | by foreign troops would mean the in ant death of the captives. The Chi- | ese bandits, however, are not fight- & foreign governments. but are. anxious to exact money and conces- | | slons from the central government in| men | China. When they have added to the | embarrassments of the Peking au thorities their desire is fulfilled. Un. the circumstances the taking of | measures over the head of the Peking | Zovernment and the beginning of direct negotiations with the bandits | are being talked of here as the in evitable sequel to the present un satisfactory situation. The powers find themselves more | or less in the same position in which they were in the famous Boxer re- | bellion in 1900, when the Chinese formed a society in opposition to for- eign missionaries and murdered many of them. A relief expedition | of 18.000 troops made up of American, | British. French, German, Russian and | Japanese forces was organized and | went to the relief of approximately | 200 foreign refugees held within th walls of the British legation at| Peking. 1 Peking Making Honest Effo j There a feeling here the central government in Peking today is trying its utmost to obtain the re. that lease of the captives, whereas in 1900 |4 the central government at first op- | posed but afterward encouraged the Boxers. If there were any certainty that the Peking government could handle the situation today there no worry or talk of relief But™ the fear -which to be growing is that the| Peking government is not going to| be able to cope with the bandits be- | ause of the numerous factlons inside | the Peking government. This makes ; it impossible to get as effective ac as the foreign governments would like to see. Diplomacy has about been exhaust- ed at Peking and the next step is to deal directly with the bandits, failing ‘Mrs. Mary Logan |eial s {won | the | the District of Columbia earnestly urge that the citizens of the which the organization of a relief ex- | FAIRMONT ALUMNAE PAY HONOR TO MRS.
