olers go, fearing anarchy and an up-
rising against the foreigners The SOL
olers who return do so with all the hon
| ors of war
Field Marshal Won Waldersee has made
an application that the gate of the For
plaoen city be guarded by German
troops aIter the departure of the Ameri-
cans Gen. Chaffee has replied that
american soldiers will continue to guard
the gate. AT this the Germans are in
olsnant, saying this impugns Their hon.
esty- and that If the United States de-
slres to do her share of policing the citv
she should leave behind enough troons
Tor that purpose, that merely a few men
belonging to the legation guard should
colitrol the gate which will be within
the German quarters cannot be allowed
Ii Gen. Chaffee persists in this course
oipiomatc representations will be made

sonable
