DIPLOMACY MAY RULE
BELIEF THAT COLLISION WITH
CHINESE TROOPS MAY NOT OCCUR.
When Relief Expedition Reaches
Pekin Difficulty May Be Settled
without Battle.

The optimism at Washington with refer
ence to the Chinese situation IS due to the
belief that the relief column Of the allies
may advance without collision with the Chi
nese troops. The opinion Is held by high
officials that while there may be a conflict
on the road between the assed forces and
disorganized and unattached bands of Box
ers, the Europeans will be able to march
practically to the gates of Pekin without
coming into collision with the imperial
troops. and that when the allied army has
been halted before the gates of Pekn the
trouble will be settled by diplomacy with
out recourse to arms.
Disposition of the Powers.
There is no absolutely reliable informa-
ton on which to determine the disposition
of the other powers, but 1t may be accepted
as certain that the United States, Great
Britain and Japan will Cooperate in pur-
suing the line Of policy which has already
been indicated by our State Department.
and it Is said that there is no reason to be-
Heve that the other powers will not ac-
quiesce in this.
Whether or not there is any settlement OF
the question of supreme command of the
allied forces, 1t is said that the forward
movement of the United States troops and
those of Great Britain and Japan will be
coincident
Diplomacy May Rule.
The opinion is expressed in high official
quarters that when the allied forces arrive
in sight Of Pekin. if an advance to that
point is found to be necessary, 1t will not
be a signal for the beginning of hostilities
but that a truce will be established be-
tween the opposing Chinese and the foreign
armies, and that u deputation from Pekin
will wait upon the commanders of the allied
forces under a flag of truce and that the
basis of peaceful settlement through di-
plomacy will be arranged, the Europeans at
Pekin being delivered IN safety to the pro-
lection of the allied forces, and the Chinese
government guaranteeing protection to
other foreigners in China.
Not IA Punitive Expedition
The present expedition is not punitive, but
is one of relief. and if events fall out in
accordance with this theory arrangements
may be effected whereby a joint interna-
tional commission shall determine the re-
sponsiblity and penalty of the Chinese gov
eminent for what has TRANSFERRED and the
restoration of order in the empire without
partition or foreign suZerainty, recourse to
arms being reserved a derner resort In
case of China's failure to observe obligations
which she may undertake. Such course
it is said, would in no way prejudice the
position of the foreign powers IT, in the end,
it became necessary to resort to arms but
on the contrary, would afford time for the
allied powers to prepare for any eventual
