BERLIN, Oct 13.-The United States
answer to The French note may be said
to be generally approved here, neither
the press nor the government desiring
to affront France by openly urging OBJ
1ections. nlmber of papers express
astonishment at the fact that the United
States has so rapidly reassumed more
energetic attitude towards China, and
attribute the change to Secretary Hay.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung points out
that the United States sweeping de-
mands," including Prince Tuan's execu-
ton, and the United States withdrawal
of troops are contradictory" and ex-
plainable only ''by the intricacies of the
present political campaign" The Lokal
Anzeiger, discussing the United States
presidential campaign editorialIy, says:
Germany cannot sympathize with
either Mckinley or Bryan, as they both
stand for anti-German interests" Few
papers, however, discuss the details of
the American political campaign.
Private dispatches from st. Petersburg
say that Prince Tuan has gone into the
interior of China, where, with the con-
sent of the insincere government" he is
Rrousing the population to arms against
the foreigners.
WOULD HUMBLE THE COURT.
Russia, it is said, believes the best way
to solve the present problems is to hum
BILE the court and bring the Chinese to
terms. The imperial party, it is pointed
put at st. Petersburg, would thus be
cut off from supplies Of money and food
stuffs. A military writer in the Tage-
blatt advocates the same method, which
a number of papers indorse. The Lokal
Anzeiger advises the adoption of strong
measures against the Chinese empire.
The Russian suggestion to submit the
Chinese question to The Hague arbitra-
ton court is ridiculed by the press, with
the exception of the Vorwaerts (Cocial-
the exception of the Vorwaerts $50
cialist. A foreign official informed a
representative of the Associated Press,
who questioned him regarding the arbi-
traitor suggestion, that this plan is i'm
practicable, since the work of estimat-
Ing the damages must be done in China.
PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT.
Government circles, though the officials
are not willing to say so for publication,
continue to believe the Chinese cam
paign will last long, probably for years,
unless Emperor Kwang Su is induced TO
return to Pekin, which is not deemed
very likely.
Military circles point out that the Sc
we're North China winter is approaching,
when the more important military opera

Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee or

man minister to China. Referring to
the remarks in the foreign press that
Won Waldersee will not find any Ameri-.
cans, Russians or Japanese at Pekin to

Germanys official attitude toward the
United States answer to the French
note is set forth today in the Cologne
Gazette In an article apparently inspired
In brief 1t is as follows:
GERMAN POSITION.
The answer as whole meets with
appreciation, both for its tone and text.
The answer is calculated to enhance
harmony among the powers in their. en-
deavor to obtain sufficient redress for
the crimes committed and guarantees
against their recurrence. The answer
strongly dwells upon furnishing the ring
leaders and suggests supplementing the
list of the leaders. This entirely ac-
cords with the wishes of the German
government
Regarding the claim for damages the
foreign office official said:
Germany has not yet been able to take
a definite attitude on the subject. Rus
sia's suggestion is not definite enough
1t hardly be supposed that Russia
intends to submit the claims of Russia
and those of the other powers 10 the
arbitration court. 1t must not be for
gotten that the international arbitration
court at The Hague is not vet orga nized
