this evening 1000 OF the allied troops were
attempting to storm the wall OF the city.
The attack began at daylight; It's success

estimated variously at 10000. They are
pouring terrible hail of artillery, rife
and machine gun fire upon the attackers.
The American, Japanese, British and
French troops are attacking from the
west and the Russians from the east.
The Americans suffered terribly. As the

10000 UNITED STATES SOLDIERS
Are Already In or En- Route China, Which
Is More Than the Pro Rata, Says Root

Washington. July 16.one proposition
discussed by the cabinet appeared to have
a very practical aspect about 1t. Technical
men had made objection to the further
conduct OF the Chlnese campaign with an
international force without some working
understanding as TO the duty Of each
power represented. It was suggested that
an international conference be called
hastily at one of the capitals-London,
Berlin. Paris OF Washington to define the
part to be taken by each power and the
quota OF troops to be furnished, aud ar
range for the selection OF commander in
chief of the allied forces. This suggestion
did not meet with a favorable reception.
1t was felt by the cabinet that the United
States send what force it could dispose to
China, as far as seemed necessary, and
should not make an agreement with other
powers as to the number. This decision
involved the Increase OF the force Of troops
destined for China. The responsible Off
Gals evaded any SPECIFIC statement as to
the extent of this increase. 1t was. how
ever, gathered that the reinforoements
would be limited only by the ability OF the
government to spare troops from those
commands now in the United States and
Cuba. The estimates vary as TO how many
could be spared, bat tas opinion was that
somew here between 5000 and 5000 men
could be spared to the East from Cuba aud
the united States in addition TO the
troops already under orders, statement
prepared by AdIutant General Corbiu
shows that there are now grand total of
1866 officers and men in China, en- route
TO Nagasaki, or under orders for Ma
gasak. This table, of course. includes the
