SOME few months ago this Chinese Ambasador at Berlin, who had been appointed Minister for War at Peking, gained some little notoriety by declaring his intention of establishing a form of conscrip- tion in China, and people, without giving serious thought to the question, immediately. began to conjure up visions of huge stand- iny aranios greater than the world had ever yet seen and to indulge in needless alarms ahout the Yellow Peril. Now we learn that this gentleman has ambitions which suggest u great belief in himself and in China. His latest proposal is an alliance between China and America for "mutual assistance and prinction. Such a scheme, impracticable though it be,is not original. It was advocat- ed more than a year ago by a New York journal which has a reputation for sense tionalism and which is frankly hostile to Great Britain. The proposal then was intended in some way as or offset to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but though it caused some discussion nobody took it seriously. Apparently REUTER did not
