REPLY APPROVED BY POWERS
OTHER NATIONS. INCLUDING RUSSIA
UPHOLD THIS COUNTRYs ACTION.
lRv rhe Ar,ociared Press

CRy The Associated Press)
Washington Aug 13-The reply Of the United
States Government to China's overtures of peace
was made public early in the day, showing the
hrrn and final position that had been taken.
It developed that the reference to the Powers
employed in the American reply was not without
a distinct meaning. Exchanges between the
various Powers have been going on constantly
and as a result the officials had the satisfaction
Of knowing late in the day that the position Of
the United States had the approval and sup
port Of all the great Powers. While this had
not been expressed in any formal manner by
all the nations. yet the exchanges in the chan
celIeries Of Europe, and through the foreign rep
resentatives in Washington, had made it positive
that the Powers were acting unitedIy in ap-
proval of the course of this Government Sew
eral Of the foreign representatives including
Baron Speck Won Sternberg the German Charge
d'Afaires. and Mr.. De Woolant the Russian
Charge d'Afaires. had long conferences with
Mr.. Adee in the afternoon. These added to the
assurances Of unaninaity among the Powers
The presence Of the Russian representative
was gratifying in clearing away some rnisappre-
hension, which was not shared by the Govern
ment here. as to Russias course in authorizing
NJ De Giers TO leave Peking under Chinese es-
cort- 1t pointed out that this in no way
brought about a difference between Russia and
the other Powers. all were acting on the
theory that the Chinese Government must first
give an absolute guarantee for the safety of the
Ministers. It seems evident that this absolute
guarantee cannot be given by China unless it
allows the international forces to enter Picking
SO that in effect the Russian position does not
differ materially from that Of the other Powers
At least. Russia is included among those who
fully approve the course taken by the United
States.
