NEWS CONVEYED TO WI.
Washington. July 17-The news Of
| the fan on Tien Tsin was conveyed 70
the Chinese minister early today. He
was deeply interested but evinced little
/ surprise AT this outcome, as he had
/ looked upon the result as Inevitable He
| was surprised that any effective re-
s!stancc had been made on the first
/ days attack Mr. WI Is remaining In
| practical seclusion lie Is anxious TO
/ get away and take a most needed rest
/ but he feels that he cannot do so while
| crisis is on When seen today he was
| induced TO answer the following direct
| questions
DIRECT QUESTION PUT
Based on your knowledge Of the
situation and familiarity with Chinese
character and affairs, how would YOU
advise that the present situation be
metz"
The minister pondered for a time and
then said
THE first essential IN dealing with
| the present excitement Is TO maintain
/ calm IN the midst Of the present fever
/ ish excitement. and 20 avoid hasty
/ confusion based upon a multituse Of
conflicting reports, BE sure II appears
| that lighting has occurred az Tien Tsln.
| But any Of the most vital features OF
| this affair are lacking There IS moth
| Ing 20 show the steps taken by the
vlCeroy or the Tao Tao 20 maintain or
/ der and prevent bloodshed
I 1T Is clear that Tien Tsin Is cut of
! Pekin so that az most this can be but
a local demonstration and not one at
tributable 10 the government Of China.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
1.-THE question is how to meet the
| actual occurrences In China. The first
| suggestion IS 20 send great bodies Of
troops and on that my position makes
! tt impossible for me 10 express an Opin-
ion. But this much AZ least seems plain
/ to me--that with any armed force there
should go also a civil officer or officers,
men Of the very highest ability and in
| telllgence, That would afford an OPP
| portunity 10 learn whether there was
any need Of fighting The purposes and
! the policy on each side could be made
| plain, and there could be an intelligent
/ understanding Of each other before a
/ recourse la bloodshed
The minister regards this as the only
tangible evidence OF China's policy and
! proof positive that China Is against war
/ at this time
IN THE HANDS OF THE ALLIES.
