BOLSHEVIK MENICE IN CHINA.
Loxbox, January 8th. Writing to the Times Lord Sydenham dealing with the danger of Bolshevism in the East says that he views the whole situation in the Far East with grave anxiety. China may be too vast and too disjointed to become a field for Beleber ist action, but there are possibilities of 4 fomenting an anti-Western agitation in that chaotic Republic.
By an irony of fate it is the Kaiser, the prophet of the Eastern Peril, who has let loose the forces which made it a reality.
