WILL ENFORCE THE TREATY
A Clash with Russia Seems Not at
All Improbable.
Chinese-A Treaty Must BE
Carried Out, Despite Russia's
Attitude In the Matter.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The United
States government will use it's full
power to see that the China-American
treaty over Manchuria, signed Thurs
day, be carried out to it's full extent.
A clash with Russia is not at all i'm
probable, as the car holds the two
Manchurian ports which are opened to
American trade, and may make siren
uous objection against the agreement
entered into by China. However, it is
understood here that the state depart
ment, acting upon the promise of Rus
STA to evacuate Manchuria on October
8, feels that the St. Petersburg govern
ment no longer is party to the ar
rangement, and representations to that
effect will be made, should Russia at
tempt to interfere
The Russians are known to be over
wrought over the actions of Japan in
Corea and may be inadvertently led
into clash with the United States.
