Secretary for the Foreign Office, William ST
John Brodrick, said report reached the Ad-
rniralty on Tuesday, July 81. from Rear-AdnnirsI
Bruce, stating that although Rear-Adniral
Kempf, Of the United States Navy. attended
the council Of admiraIs before the attack on
Taku, he was unable to take any action because
he had received no authorization from Washing
ton 10 do so.
Replying to query by Sir Ellis Ashuead
Bartlett as TO whether the forces Of Great Brit
sin and Japan were prepared to advance in
strength on Peling. and who is commanding the
allies, Nj. Brodrick said he had no fresh infor-
nation 10 communicate, but later in the session
Mr. Brodrick said that although large forces

tion among the commanders. and no avoidable
delay.
In giving the daily record OF steps the Govern
rnent had taken with view TO rescuing the lega-
tons. MI Brodrick stated that on July the
Government proffered financial assistance TO
Japan with the special object OF relieving the
legations The Government he said, would press
relief of the legations. In the Yang-Tse sphere

the Government had reason to believe It
was at variance with any Of the European
Powers in that respect. Further, the Govern

cept q Chinese administration In China. The
Government had not in contemplation the idea
Of organizing the Chinese army under foreign
officers What form the indemnity would take

Mr.. Brodrick thought It time when the
less said the better. Great changes might result
from the recent calamitous events, but he hoped
the European Powers would discover some foun-
dation upon which to build up Chinese Govern
ment which would insure civilizing rule TO
