what little news has reached Hongkong, it appears that an understanding has been reached among all the Powers concerned that no combined action will be taken unless an anti-foreign move should develop. At the moment, there appears little likelihood of this happening at any rate, in the fighting zone near Shanghal In the Northern area, however, there is decided element of danger on account of the presence of so many Bolshevik agents being allowed to spread what M. Karakhan is pleased to term anti- Imperialistic propaganda. There, are doubtless many, among the China military classes and ultra- radical elements, who would wel-
