It is quite reasonable and logical, we think, to ass sume that both Treaties, as well as the 13 Anglo-Japanese Treaty, are intended to brend together and that they form a combination of guarantees of the "Open- Door" and the integrity of China as strong as the proverbial three-fold cord. There is this further consideration, that all the Twaties entered to by Japan with other Powers--including Great Bri- tain.

So far every race- ful effort made by the Central Govern- ment to end the disturbance in northern Kwangtung has failed to produce the desired result. As a last effort, it is said, the Government has decided to send Ceneral Hou Shao-chen to Kwang- tung with important gert orders.

"I would have done nothing after. When the German Embassy advised 25 Americans in an advertisement not to Bail I would have advised the Secretary of State to appoint a representative to $1,530 sail on the Litanie and would have 102,178 cabled the Kaiser personally that the Zuritania, was under American-protec 103,708 tion.
