CHINA WILL SOON
BE BATTLEGROUND
Special Nugget Service. ;
LONDON, Dee. 23.—A dispatch from j
I'ekin to the Dally Telegraph says
that It Is believed in I'ekin that Japan w
making ever}- preparation to turn China
into a battleground on which will be
fought a war even greater than the
rtcent fight between Japan and Russia.
The rivalry between Japan and Russia
was not settled l>y the last war and
Japan feels that she was forced
through her own lack of resources to
make nn unsatisfactory pence because
It was impossible for her longer to
cairy oil the war.
No agreements whatever exist be
tween Japan and Russia In regard tn
.Mongolia and the recent moves of
Russia in that section have aggroval
eil the Japanese anii they are piepar
ing to make reprisals.
II is the hope of Japan that in ease
of another war with Russia over the
<|uestion of spheres of influence that
she will he nhle to utilize Chinese
troops to some extent and she is bend
ing every effort to getting control of
Hie Chinese officials.
