ACTION RELIEVES STRAIN
Consul Goodnow Reports
Repairs May Be Com

An extension Of time has been
granted to the Russian cruisers at
Shanghai in which TO Gisa-m.
Advices TO this effect we're received
at the State Department today from
Consul General GOodnOw. at Shang-
hal. who stated that the waivubu az
Pe!,in. which is the Chinese foreign
Office, had granted to TIE commanders
of the Russian ships until noon Of
August 2S to complete the repairs on
their disabled warships.
Announcement of this extension
was generally gratifying to those who
have been following the situation. as
il is expected to relieve the situation
considerably.
1t is probable that the AskoId will
be sufficiently repaired to leave
Shanghai at that time. TIE action
of the waiwubu, it is believed. was
taken with the knowledge Of the
japanese.
The waiwubu is a much higher
body than the taotai. as the latter is
only a municipal body governing the
affairs of Shanghai, while the wal
wubu is the foreign oRce of the
nation.
