MAMCHURIA
United States Secures Modification OF
Russo-Chinese Treaty

Picking, April 4.-The signing OF the
Russo-C Chinese Manchurian convention
awaits only the receipt of information
as TO whether objection to 1t Will be raised
by other powers. Since the treaty has
been modified. as a result of the pressure
eXerted by the United States, Great
Britain and Japan, it is not believed that
any difficulty on this score will be en-
countered.
The evacuation Of the three Manchurian
provinces by Russia is to be carried out
in three successive periods OF six months.
1t is stipulated that the convention be
ratified within three months from the
day 1t Is signed. China is permitted to
maintain whatever force she thinks neces-
sary in Manchuria after the evacuation
OF that territory.
Russia agrees, If Tentsin is restored to
the Chinese within the first six months
to yacate Nieu Chwang at the time this
restoration is made. China agrees that
no portion Of the Nieu Chwang- Shan Hal
kWan railway be allowed to fall into the
hands OF other powers after Russia re-
stores the road to China. China agrees
also to reimburse Russia In the amount
spent In completing the railway and in
policing the line during the Russian occu-
patton.
