Srr,—Can foreign words, when used by Chinese, be taken at their face value? Minister Yen assures the diplomatic bodies that the action re Russians implies "no rupture, but is merely an énterregnum." Over four years ago the Bank of Territorial Development in this settlement closed it doors, saying it was not bankruptcy or liquidation, but merely a moratorium. 1a there any other country where this word is made to cover persistent refusal to pay one's debts? Until there is honest r sumption of responsibilities, we are bound to consider that these high-sounding words are sometimes used as camouflage.
