full attention with which it was prepared

is shed upon it's exact character. All
efforts to ascertain whether it was in
the nature of a reply to Germany or Rus
STA or a collective note to the powers
outlining the policy of the United States
under the new conditions which have de-
veloped since the rescue of the Lega-

Cabinet pointed out the obvious impro-
priety of divulging the nature of diplo-

power or powers to whom it is addressed.
One Cabinet officer, however, expressed
the opinion that its contents would reach
the public in a few days. All manner of
speculation is being INDUCED in as to
its purport and contents but it is safe to
say that its secret will be carefully
guarded until the Government considers
il proper to divulge it.

powers that she considers the relief of
the Pekin Legations as the final accom-

which is attracting the most attention
from this Government at this time. That

impression that the Russian Government

been relieved that Government should
withdraw its military forces from Pekin
and thinks the other allies should do
likewise. No official information along
the lines. however, can be obtained here,
although the recent flying visit of the
Russian charge, Mr.. De Wollant, from
Cape May to Washington is believed to
be indicative that communication of
this character has been received from
the Russian Government. The with
drawal of the military forces from Pc
kin is q phase of the Chinese situation
to which our Government as yet has not
given any serious consideration, believ-
ing that the first duty of all the allies
is to reach some common ground of I'M
Outstanding with a view to opening nego-
tiations for the settlement of terms o.
peace with China. The withdrawal of
the military, it is held, might be very

negotiations and enter into an agree
