MARINES GUARD U. S. CITIZENS
 IN OLD PEKING
Battle of Factions Near the Chinese Capital Expected
 By Foreigners
fAssoeiated P,es, Leaica nirel


 WASHINGTON, July 19.- Appre- hension as to the safety of foreign CTS in China resulting from fighting between the two factions was les- sened today by advices to the state department from the American le- gation at Picking.
 General Wang, commanding forces in Picking. the advices said, has talk. en measures to protect Americans and other foreigners while reports to the legation from the Tien Tsin and other points in the zone of actiy- ities indicate disposition by ali leaders to respect foreign colonies.
 There are in the capital and at Tien Tsin approximately 600 Ameri- can civilians. The reinforced Amer ican military strength in Picking IS 425 marines, which, added to the combined allied force. including that of Japan, will, it is believed. be suf- ficient to reduce disorder. It is as stunned that the only danger foreign CTS might incur would be dne to their wandering beyond the boundaries of the foreign concI ssions and then on- ly at the hands of scattered groups.
 It was explained unofficially today that action by any of the powers rep- resented is unlikely so long as the factions confine themselves to Oper- ations that do not endanSer foreign CTS and that leave open the road from Peking through Tien Tsin to the coast. The greater part of the foreign military forces, including that of the United States. is now pa trolling that route.

Republican Nominee Starts . Attack with Drive on the
 Wilson Ideals
(,f,sociatrd Prest Leaecd IVirtJ


 MARION, O., July 19 - Senator Harding's offensive against the ''for- eign commitment of President Will son, initiated yesterday in questions Sor Governor Cox was developed today toward a new quarter.
 In his second statement, the Repub- llcan nominee declared the Republi- can conception of what should have ben done at Versailles had been vindi- cated by Colonel House, friend and ad- wiser of the president. He quoted the Colonel as saying negotiation of a peace treaty before creation of a League of Nations was suggested by European powers and would have been the obvious" thing to do.
 The ardor with which the. Senator pressed his attack was interpreted by his associates as meaning he regards the Wilson foreign policy as having assumed paramount position in the campaign and that he is determined to take the aggressive and hold it. There was no indication that his pol icy of front porch campaign would be modified, but his advisors declared the term would be far from synony- nous with quiescence.
 On the unqualified approval of the presidents conduct of foreign affairs, it was said, the nominee's fighting blood is up It was indicated that in his speech of acceptance he might be expected to enliven the fight with some constructive suggestions of his own on the League question.
