**THE DANGEROUS POSITION

PEKING. August 28th. By order of the President, the Foreign Office has telegraphed to Mr. Chen Lu. Minister to Paris, and to Mr. Hu Wei- teh. Minister ti Tokyo, stating that "In view of the dafigurous position of the Republic, bath internally and externally, and the meritorious services which the two Ministers have hendered to the Government in diplomacy, their resig nation cannot and will not be accepted by the Cabinet. The Ministers are here by instructed to remain at their post and attend to their duties as usual.'
It is reliably reported that chief cause of Chen Lu's resignation is connected with the recent trouble between the Legation staff and the majority of the Chinese labour" students in France relating to the latter's monetary allow. arees, when two secretaries of Chen La were badly beaten by the students. The position of Mr. Hu Wei-tch is reported to be more difficult than that of Chen Lu on account of the Shantung and Chiento negotiations, especially in view of the convocation of the Pacific and Far Eastern Conference in Washington. As a matter of fact, it is exceedingly dif. ficult to select another suitable official to replace Mr. Bu in Tokyo at the

Now somebody has thoughtfully and tastefully included, among the plates in the report, a picture of several long rows of white tombstones, prettily decorated with small American flags. The poor newcomer is informed by the legend that beneath these stones lie moldering the. bodies of the American teachers who have died in the Philippines service.
