ese government has notified the
Kuropehn powers that she plans
lo establish several permanent
garrisons in Chinese territory in

signified that Japan will not per
mit Ihe occupancy of any portion
of Chinese territory by Russia
and a second war between Japan
and Russia now ' seems immi
nent. The representatives of
Ihe European powers are using
their endeavors to bring about a
peaceable 'solution of the situa
tion. but have been blocked by
Ihe refusal of Russia to withdraw
her troops from Mongolia.
Should Ihe crisis which now
exists result in the declaration
of war between Japan and Rus
sia. the former would again have
the sympathy of the European
.powers. The lirsl overt act to
disturb the plans of the European
•powers to keep the Chinese re
public intact having been caused
by the seizure! of the Mongolian
territory.
