England and America Unite for China
Japan and Russia have sufficiently buried their old grudge to cause the despatches to report that they are conniving together to seize large portions of China in the present stress of that nation. Because of this condition the United States, France, Germany, and Great Britain have combined to prevent it. This country is hastily sending a large fleet of war-ships to Chinese waters. The latest despatches indicate that the United States and Britain have formed a special compact of the English-speaking world in order to hold the Chinese nation intact. It is to be hoped that England and America will never again be found on opposing sides; for if these two great nations act together, they will, by their very strength, hold in check the threatening war-storm.
