Shanghai, Germany will not allow their realiZa-

This Government decided, however, that not
only would it be entirely out of its province to
interfere with the British programme in South
ern China which was being carried forward by
Admiral Seymour on the ground with the full
knowledge Of local conditions, but in view Of
Chinas present recalcitrant attitude. and the
lack, up TO date Of even an acknowledgment Of
the latest demand concerning the safety Of the
Ministers, the United States was not inclined to
shoulder any of China's troubles with Great
Britain or any Of the other Powers. Conse-
quently the appeal Of the viceroys will be ig
nored. It is possible that the communication
from Minister WI NAV be turned over to the
British Government for its information, on the
general friendly principle that has been adopted
by the Powers Of keeping one another informed
on the developments in the situation. Even
this step, however. has not been decided on
yet. and viii be left to the Judgment of the
President.
NO OBJECTION MADE By JAPAN
In connection with the proposed landing Of
Admiral Seymour's forces it is said that the
report of Japan's opposition to this move is
without any official confirmation here. The
japanese Minister. in general conversation,
when the subject was first preached. said that
he had information Of any protest having
been entered by Japan What developments
later events might bring It was impossible for
him to say. It may be said however aside
from Minister Takahira's statement that Japan
has up to the present time displayed no teal-
ousy Of Great Britain in the Chinese campaign.
Japan herself. II has been announced semi
officially. has no colonial ambitions.
incidentally, it is asserted that the cordial
relations between Japan and the United States,
aside from her participation in the British and
American advance in Pei-Tsang have been
shown in her reply to the State DEPARTMENTS
note transmitted for information to Japan
the japanese Government promptly acknowl-
prevail Of the stand taken by the United States
While this acknowledgment mere official
courtesy. japan is the only one of the Powers
so far to give formal expression of its con-
currence IN the action Of the United States
The action OF the Russian Government in au-
thorizing NJ. De Giers to start from Picking for
Tien-Tsin under Chinese escort causes no little
concern and surprise in official circles here as II
is Numerically opposed to the course Of the
other governments. although there is dis
position TO question the good faith which has
inspired it. The officials say thai its only effect
is TO leave NJ. De Giers acting Independently
and on his own discretion. If he determines to

seeds in getting through to Tfen-Tsin. II Will
at least demonstrate that this course is less
hazardous than mas been supposed. The posi-
ton Of the United States authorities is IN

idea Of allowing Minister Conger TO leave Pc
