News from Pekin and war talks across Europe
London reports dated September 4 discuss the latest Pekin situation with Allied plans, troop movements, and implied terms with Qing. Vienna and Shanghai dispatches note German Austrian Italian presence in Pekin, halted salaries, and revenue transfers for war.
