Prepare for War-
The latest despatches from China
all seem to confirm the rejsjrts of a
terrible slaughter at Tien Tsin. The
allied forces of the foreigners were
attacked and butchered by the brut
al element of the Chinese. There
are two things which will avert war,

Chinese government is probably not
able to show anything but blood
stained hands. It" it must Ik- war,
it will lieu terrible war, as China

population of the world. Inter
national trouble will result and it

people than any other war in the

should eall an extra session ol Con

will do so before long.
ON SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY-
Snyder count Tribune.
Editor Wagenseller of the Post
has earned the gratitude of our pen
pie lor his able and plausable editori
al opposing the removal ot the Un

tx'linsjjrovei-i considerably agitat
ed over the attempts ot the newly
chosen president to remove the insti
tution to another place, provided
850.000 ia forthcomine. The iire-
Fiidect at a meeting ot the board ofi,'l,'"s ' '
trustees is said to have made the MeCulloch's M

anything in Selinsgrove that suited "i

bit of friction over the matter, of
which ot course is not tor the best

moans. The new president is said
to be partial to Sunburv, as a desir
able location.
Lewlnlair: n a
The p'.-. pie if Seliti -rove and
Snyder County are up in arms a
jjainst the removal oi Susquehanna
University which has been projioscd
by Dr. Ileisler, the new president.
The school is all right and the loca
tion could not be better, and the
chances are that the Dr. is only
bluffing. II lie is not, and he is too
big for the institution, then it may
le possible for the trustees to find a
president less ambitions. Our re
collection is that the school was in
successful ojerntion and doing good
work when its present head was
merely a hopeful youth, and it will
more than likely continue business
at the old stand should the negota-
, tions with 1 1 arrisl i i fir and Sunbury

The proposition to moveSusque

Sunbury "wanted" it. Then the
'trustees, inspired by the lofty senti

is Williamsport, since Sunbury
seems somewhat lax in its efforts
and desires to become an university

subject came up. A few memberi
doffed their hats, hut otherwise there
was uo demonstration.
The most alarming dispatch came
from Tien Tsin, July 13, via Shanghai,
July Hi. It Is as follows:
"At 2 o'clock this afternoon 7.U0O of

! anese, llrltlsh and French troops are
! attacking from the west and the Kus-
ians from the east.
"The Americans suffered terribly. As
the press representatives left the field
the chief surgeon of the Ninth Infantry
said a conservative estimate was that
25 per cent of the Americans were hit.
Col. Emerson H, Liscum is reported !
killed as he was walking in front of
j the troops. Major Kegun and Captains I
i Uookmlller, Wilcox and Noyes are
among the wounded. The marines'
I losses include ("apt. Davis, killed, and

wounded.
"When the correspondent left the
I Americans were lying In the plain be 1
tween the wall and the river under as
enfilading and a direct Are. It waa
equally difficult for them to advance j
or retire. The correspondent counted
100 wounded men of all nationalities."
Another dispatch says the allies
were repulsed and compelled to retreat !
With a loss of more than 100 killed, the
British losing 40 and the Japanese GO.
The Americans and Russians, it Is ;
added, also suffered heavily. In ad
dition to Col. Liscum, of the Ninth In
fantry, a Russian colonel of artillery
was also killed. The dispatch adds
that the Chinamen fought wltb great
desperation and that their marksman
ship was accurate and deadly.
From Chefoo comes the report that
the entire adult male population of the
three provinces of Chi LI, Shan Li and
Shan Tung are massing to defend
Pektn, In the conviction that the
powers mean war. There is little
doubt' that a further check of the al
lies at Tien Tsin would be the signal
for a general anti-foreign rising
throughout China.
Fighting is said to be Imminent at
New Chwang. where the Hoxers are
threatening the foreign settlement.
The Russians have barricaded the
streets and loopholed the houses of
the foreigners. The bank officials
have removed their valuables to Port
Arthur.
l'erhaps the most serious among the
many reports from Shanghai in tha
rumor that, since thP m,rrc.

Washington, July 17 The decision
of the administration at the end of
most eventful day is that tho United
States government Is still not at war
With the government of China. The
big happenings at Tien Tain, coming
on top of the stories of the last strug
gles nt Pekin, have not affected the
attitude of the admlnstrntion on this
point: the I'nited States and China are
technically nt peace. But this statement
Should not he accepted as Indicating
purpose on the nart of the Unite
i States government to hold its hand la
I the administration of swift and ade
quate punishment upon the Chinese,
without regard to station, who may he
responsible for the outrages of the
past tew weeks. It means simply that
the government of the United Statee
feels that it can host achieve that pur
pose by regarding the stattiH officially
s ono of peace. To hold otherwise
would seriously cripple the government
fn its efforts to obtain satisfaction for
the outrnges the Americans In China
have suffered. We should find the
ports of China, now open to ub, closed,
and all sorts of Impediments would be
encountered which now are missing.
The day wag the most exrtting Wash
ington has known since the battle of
Santiago. At the very beginning came
Tien Tsin. and then came the account
ef the flirht. A snccial i-nhinet meeting
was held on receipt of this news, with

lad decided that it would be best for
him to come back from Canton to the
national capital. He arrived this af
ternoon. The cabinet officers talked over the
possibilities of reinforcing the troops
In China, There was no disposition
shown to withhold these troops: the
only question was as to the amount of
additional force available, and It was
left with the war department officiate
to decide. The estimates varied as to
how many could be spared, but the
general opinion was that somewhere
between 4.00U and 8,000 men could be
hipped to the east from Cuba and tha
United States, in addition to the trooja
already under orders.
