the home papers for the information, as has been the case more than once during the present crisis. To a certain extent we can not complain of the suppression of news, when, as so often happened in South Africa, it is impolitic to allow plans and movements to become public property before they are beyond the danger of frustration. The ignorance in which we are kept is unfortu- nately none the less tantalising for this, As items of news come to hand, bit by bit, we begin to have some idea of what is going on and even of the course which events may take: So now we are at liberty to think that the forward policy will continue as long as possible until the Chinese Govern- ment desists from its present line of con duct and showa à genuine desire for peace, which must be evidenced not by mere pro- Montelimart Mongattestations but by the actual surrender of the arch-criminals, which the Powers de.

THE action of the Allies in the north which is reported by our London telegram is, it is to be presumed, part of the general plan of operations under Court vox. WiLDERNEE's command. What that general plan is, we have no means as yet of knowing; but it is plain that it includes & forward movement of a more extensive character than was at first anticipated, outside military circles at least. The operations in Sontheru Chihli have resulted in the practical clearance of the Boxers and disbanded troops from the environment of Pootingfu, and it appears that the Germans and British at least, if not any other of the allied forces, have pushed on rapidly toward the Chili-Shansi frontier.
