UN CHINESE QUESTION

Washington, Sept. %. The State
department last night made public the
Nxt of the notes addressed by it to
the governments of Germany, Russia
and China in answer to inquiries from
them as to the attitude of the United
States toward various phases of the
Chinese situation. The forecasts OF
these notes made in the press appear
to have been accurate, for, although
nowhere in the text is reference made
to the withdrawal of United States
troops from China, the official state
ment issued by the Navy Department
in advance of the publication of the
notes bears out the prediction that the
government finally has decided upon
such a material reduction of its mill
tary force as will amount to with
