NOTES FROM PEKING.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31st, 1914.
PEKING, October 13th.
THE GLORIOUS TENTH.
The third anniversary of the outbreak of the Revolution was colebrated through- out the country, secording to reports received here, with the. grealest enthusiasm, and in Peking itself the celebrations took the form of a national character. The most important event was the review of troops by the President at the "Tienanmen. This was indeed a brilliant spectacle and crested a very favourable impression not only among the foreign guests but among privileged Chinese visitors. Precautions were taken to guard against any untoward incident, and admission to the enclosure was only by ticket. The space in front of the historic gate has been enlarged by the removal of the granaries, and other improvements were introduced, giving a surprising aspect of orderliness and attention to the scene. The huge gateway had received a fresh coat of pink, tho marble monuments in front had been cleaned, the weeds had been removed from between the paving stores, and everything. looked spick and span. The only attempt út decoration was the display of the two huge military and naval flugs which were crossed above the archway, though, of | course, there were several floral paillons within the Imperial City.
As usual with a Chinese function, there was no definiteness with regard to the time appointed for the cominencement of the proceedings. However, by nine o'clock a large number of foreigners had assembled in the matshed excited for their protection and comfort, where tea was supplied as customary. About twenty minutes later 珏 funfare of trumpets indicated the approach of the President, and in a few minutes he was

not likely to make any mistake In order to safeguard itself it is sending in protests on principle, because of course China has always in front of her the threat that Germany will hold her responsible after the war.
There is little doubt that much of the irritation against the Japanese is due to the false reports ciculated by Germans, and reports of atrocitics, other than the
