it is evident that news from Chinn
“hould be accepted with a good many
grains of allowance. A great deal of tbe
news appearing In American newspaper*
from Pekin. Shanghai and other Chinese
renters comes by way of the London i*a
pers. We have some yellow Journal cor
respondents in thi* country, but their Im
aginations are not quite equal to thoe
of the correspondent* in China of the Lon
don dallies.
It will be recalled that for weeks prior
to the arrival of the allied armies ut Pe
kin the most horrible stories were sent out
from that city. It was published time
and again that all of the occupants of
the legations had leen klll-d and that
before bong killed the men were tortur
ed and the women subjected to the most
horrible outrage*. Everybody know* now
that these stories were based upon mere
idle rumors. If they were not pure fake*
At the tlm*. however, it was asserted by
the correspondent* sending them that
they were supported by excellent author
ity.
Within the lust day or two ther* have
appeared stories of massacres of mission
aries In some of the Inland provinces.
These stories may be true, hut ns they
were sent to the English papers by the
same *©rrrpnndent# who horrified the
work! with their stories of the massacre
of the ministers and their families. It
would he well for them to be confirmed
before incepting them os true.
The newspapers * r e not to In* blamed
for publishing these stories before being
sure they arc true. lie. iuse they have no
way of getting at the truth. They have :o
rely on their correspondents, and Ittsprob
nble that they nhsvor to get the m**-t
reliable men to be had. No doubt tho-e
correspondents who are unscrupulous de
l*md for protection on the fact that com
munication 'ls so slow that their false
news Is likely to be forgotten before the
truth can de discovered.
There Is no doubt thal the Chinese,
whet) their hatred Is aroused, are capable
of committing nil sorts of atrocious
crimes, but It may turn out that their war
on the foreigners In their country has noi
