UNCLE SAM’S STAND CRITICIZED Proposed Vindictive Action of Germany Threatens To Break Up the Peace Concert. The London morning papers are again agitated concerning tho stability of the concert of powers in China. The attitudes of Germany and the United States meet with disapproval, the former because Count Von AVal- dersee lias Bent a column to destroy the Ming tombs, au act which is re¬ garded as needlessly vindictive, and the latter because it threatens to break up the concert. j) a j|y Chronicle comments fi1r )y upon the American attitude ^ a “feeble compromise which it is j m p OSM jp > le to accept.” fj<he jj orn i n g p 0B t says: “It would be unreasonable of the , cq t t, break up tho concert k a eB 0 j ; because they do not desire indemnity, powers would probably l»e willing eons iq Br America’s objections.
