70 REDUCE EXPENSES
Reductions Of Foreign Forces in
China Made With View
to Economy.
After July ! Each Country Will
Bear Its Own Military
Expenses.
Officials Believe Negotiations
Will Be Finally Effected
by That Date.
NO 14a

Washington, June 1.-THE recent
large reduction of foreign foroes in Chi
ma caused surprise in official quarters,
but this reduction is now accounted for
by the terms on which the indemnity is
made up. When each country put in
the amount of its claim, At included an
estimate Of the military expenses run
Ing ZIP TO July l next. This was with
the idea that it will take until July i to
settle the ;ndenanities. With the in
demnity settled each government will
pay its own expenses in China after
July i. There was naturally a desire,
therefore, to reduce the cost of military
expenses within the period covered by
the indemnity, and this led to the evac-
uation now going on. In case the in
demnity remains unsettled on July /, the
several governments will submit addi-
tional claims covering their monthly ex-
penses after that time. These amount to
s2oe0,0oO month, and in the aggre-
gate Will reach slo0O0OO0 for each
month after July /. 1t is expected this
will have a strong influence on the Chi-
nese in bringing about complete
agreement before the close of this
month.
Recent exchanges between the cabi-
nets at Washington and other capitals
have not resulted in any agreement on
the question of indemnity, and the mat
ter is now committed back to the min
listers at .Pcnin. Diplomatic otficlsl Is
who are taking part in the negotiations
believe July marks the outside period
in Which settlement will be tinaliy' ef-
fected.
