up on night, but the Peking students
were greatly agitated at the news
was which followed for this summer.
Thursday even the hour for the
opening gun was not half a dozen
times I don't see dinner tables.
Then came the astounding news
that the Twar Parks had accepted
its invitation after President
was coming to Peking, no we find
that they would dream of coming
straight at him as for a settlement
might be possible after all
I no realized not that man was.
On the 1 May I drove his
[illegible] Regiment [illegible] toward the
Chinwall and found the street
was lined with redcoats. Traffic
was stopped and some figures in the
R.R. station to the red walls of the
Forbidden City, on both sides at
intervals of about twenty feet stood khaki
dad soldiers with fixed bayonets, I
asked one of them who was coming and
he answered in a single word "Chang".
Fifty minutes later came three
white cars [illegible] machines standing
in the parking tracks. Then a larger
[illegible] car [illegible] redcoats with
caps of straw capsed on his head a dozen.
