TO WITHDRAW FROM CHINA
SPEEDY ACTION SEEMS LIKELY BY
THIS GOTERNMENT
American Interests, However, VIII
First be Assured No Confirmation of
Report of nm Anslo-Germnn Agree
ment TO Remain i'm Pekin-Delay of
Powers In Answering the Russian
Note VIII Not Interfere with Ameri-
can Policy.

Washington, Sept. 10-The develop
ments of the day in the Chinese situa-
tion still point to speedy withdrawal
of the United States troops from China.
General Chaffee has added the weight
of his opinion to that of many officials
here. 1t is significant that the gener
ais statement on this point was given
publicity by the administration. No
confirmation is at hand of the report
that Great Britain and Germany have
Joined in an agreement to remain in
Pekin, regardless of the attitude of the
other powers. Should this be true the
fact doubtless would hasten the rear
ward movement of the American troops,
for there is a firm determination TO
avoid becoming involved In any clash,
as might be expected to follow the exc
cuton of this reported Brltish-German
programme.
If there have been further responses
to the Russian note relative to evacua-
tion their purport cannot be ascertain
ed. This delay no longer interferes
with the execution of the American pol
ICY The state department has rec
sonably accurate understanding Of the
attitude of even those powers that have
not made formal responses to the Rus
sian note, so that the mere written rec
ord of their views is not of Importance.
The part of the problem relative to
withdrawal that remains unsolved is the
best means of securing guarantees for
the attainment of the few objects set
out in Secretary Hays note of July 3,
which have not yet been secured. Pos
sibly guarantees must be obtained from
two sides, from the Chinese government
as to the security of American treaty
rights and the creation of claims COM
mistee which shall provide for the pay
iment of indemnity losses suffered by
American citizens and for the expenses
of the Pekn relief expedition.
