Brink or Sontei." The Marquis Teeng only made this declaration a day or two boture tho news of the fall of Sonini reached Paris. Yet China has not broken off official relations with France, Nor do we believe China will declaro war ögainst France when zus nttacks Baoninh, even although that stronghold is defended by Chinese Imperial forces. China will, we believe, prefer to fight France in Touquin, locating the war there entirely if possible. It Is France which is inure likely to object to this course, and to force on an open war by. operations conducted outside of Tonquin, The Chinese Government may sur render when Bieninis falls, or even be- foro that avant, and peace may be thus secured, but if China stubborn- ly fights France in Tongnin to the bitter end, and Francs drives back the Imperial armies to the borders of the Empire, even than it is difficult to see how the dispute will settle itself and an open war be avoided. The French could not leave hostile forces menacing them on the wing-si and Yunnan borders; the Chinese might continuo defiant as ever, and to follow them on to their own territory would be equivalent to a declaration of war against the Pe king Government
