selves down in China to a definite stretch of territory. German trade has spread far and wide in China long before we occupied Kiao Chou. We defend our rights in peace full competition, therefore, with all nations on the principle of live and let live.'
 We assume that there is no reason for doubting the loyalty of the other powers. Highly important objects remain to be reached-security of the lives and property of foreigners, adequate satisfaction for out rages, compensation for the disbursements made and the costs incurred and the safe guarding of our possessions. For the at tainment of these unanimous agreements have been arrived at by the representa- tives of the powers in Pekin, whose de- mands 1 now communicate.
 China shall erect monumnet to Baron Von ketteler on the site where he was mur- dered and send an imperial prince to Ger many to convey an apology. She shall tn- fiet the death penalty upon eleven princes and officials already named and suspend provincial examinations for five years where the outrages occurred.
 Tn future all officials failing to prevent anti-foreign outrages within their jursdic- tion shall be dismissed and punished.
 Indemnity shall be paid to states and corporations and individuals; the Tsung Ii
 
 vested in foreign minister. Rational in- tercourse shall be permitted with the Elm peror, as in civilized countries.
 The forts at Taku and the other forts of Chi Li shall be razed and the importa- tion of arms and war materials prohibited.
 " Permanent legation guards shall be maintained, and also guards of communi- cation between Pekn and the sea.
 " Imperial proclamations shall be posted for two years throughout the Empire sup pressing Boxers.
 Indemnity is to include compensation for Chinese who suffered through being em- ployed by foreigners, but not compensation for native Christians.
 China shall erect eXpiatory monuments in every foreign or international burial ground where graves have been profaned.
 'The Chinese government shall undertake to enter upon negotiations for such changes in existing treaties regarding trade and navigation as the foreign governments deem advisable and with reference to other matters having in view the facilitation of commercial relations.
 Tt is impossible to foresee further de- velopments. We shall not allow ourselves to be led beyond these demands except by the interests of civilization and especially by the interests of Germany"
 Later in his speech Count von Buelow said:
 ''The loyalty of Germany's policy has been proved by the fact that the other powers have transferred to us the supreme com mand in the province of Chi Li. We would willingly have placed our troops under the supreme command of any other power We notified Russia to that effect A desire was expressed in many quarters to offer the supreme command to Germany. We could not be deaf to the call of other pow ers and in accepting the responsibility we proclaimed our conviction mat Germany'S policy contained nothing which from the view of the other governments could give ground for misgiVing.
 That His Majesty of Russia, whose speedy and complete recovery We, with all Europe and with the world, desire with all our hearts, that this noble and enligh tened sovereign should, before all others, put the supreme command in our hands, was rec ognized by us with special gratitude
 This Is fresh proof of what shall always uphold, that between a well-con- ducted German policy and well-conducted Russian policy there can be no departure, and certainly no invincibe antagonism.
 By dispatching troops to China we have in no way impaired our readiness to do battle in Europe. We declare that we are on guard. In undertaking the charge of the interests of other nations, acting as lightning conductor for the other powers, we have no desire to play the role of prov idence on earth The Hohenzollerns will not tread in the path of the Bonapartes. Non-German tendencies will never be fol- lowed by the house whose great son has declared that prince is the first servant Of the State In the Spanish-American and South African wars We pursued policy of honorable neutrality because 1t was the best for Germany"
