A Truce on these truces, asy- way.

The Telegraph, determined to get the right oil, yesterday decided to send its special representative to Peking to find out just what is happening there.

Mr. Kelly's graphic descriptions of the hand-to-hand struggle to get through the Hole in the Great. Wall, before all the pubs close at midnight, suggest that it will be an awful thing for the Sino-Japan- ese military authorities if pence actually does break out.

There is, according to Mr. Kelly," a possibility that the war may yet end in blows. Reports herewith.

What happened is that both the Generals approached us, and re- quested us to put forward a basis for the sattlemont of the dispute. We made the following commendations: (1) That the price of baur be reduced to fifty cents (2) That we have a drink (8) That we have another. There is a distinct possibility that our recommendations will be adopted.
