America Will Not Wage
Further War.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The United
States Government is facing a serious
crisis in China, owing to the announce.
ment that of the purpose of Field Mar
shall Count Won Walderses to begin an
other offensive campaign, Gen. Chaffee
has been invited to Join in the expedition
which is to be modified on a larger
scale than anything attempted in China
since the original march to Picking.
The General so informed the War
Department oday, and the officials of
the State Department have been advised
of the situation.
This German movement is viewed
with absolute dismay here, for it is fear
ed that it requires an immediate decision
by the United States Government upon
its whole line of policy toward the
Chinese question.
