BERLIN. May 21.-Germany now claims
that her proposal on October "a. OF last
year, to remove her troops from the prov

has converted Chinese distrust of Germany
into confidence in German friendliness. A

where Notifications. presumably against the
Chinese. are being constructed with I'M
diminished activity. The Chinese have long
known that adverse criticism In the reich
stag and the fact that all the indemnity
money had already been expended made It
certain that the German troops would be
withdrawn or reduced at the earliest op-
portunity at which Germany could do so
without loss of prestige. but the withdrawal
was postponed on account OF the war.
Tho Chinese quickly observed that the
progress OF the war was upsetting German
calculations. and was followed by a COM
plete change OF policy on the part of Ger
many For long time past the British
government was known from time to time
to have been sounding other powers, with
a view to the simultaneous removal Of the
international troops holding Tien-tsin and
the communications with the sea. The
German minister then agreed with his col
leagues that the announcement should be
made CONFORMITY. but his emperor acted
otherwise. The Emperor William hopes
that he has convinced the Chinese that In

s,derations, but by disinterested friendship
for their country. which he has treated for
years with the utmost harshness. even or
dering his troops In 1900 to give the Chinese
no quarter. The Chinese are not 30 easily
