FOREIGNERS IN CHINA ARE SAFE,
 U. s. ADVISED
Leaders of Both Factions Show Disposition to Re spect Foreign Colonies,
 Legation Reports
By Associated Press

Washington, July 19.-Apprehension as to the safety of foreigners in China resulting from the fighting in progress between the forces of the two rival factions was lessened today by advices received by the state department from the American legation at Picking.
 General Wang, commanding the forces in Picking, the advices said, has taken measures to protect Americans and other foreigners, while reports to the legation at Tien Tsin and other points in the zone of military activity indicate q disposition by leaders of both factions to respect the foreign colonies.
 There are in the capital and at Tien Tsin approximately GOO American civil ians. The reinforced American mili- tary strength in Peking is 425 ma rines, which, added to the combined all lied force, including that of Japan. will. 1t is believed here, be sufficient to re- duce any disorder that might occur It is assumed that the only danger for eigners might incur would be due to their wandering beyond the boundaries of the foreign concessions and then only at the hands of scattered groups, since both factions have sighitied their intentions to do all in their power to protect foreign interests.
 It was explained unofficially today that action by any of the powers rep- resented is exceedingly unlikely so long as the factions combine them selves to operations that do not en- danger foreigners and that leave open the road from Picking 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. which. under the terms of the treaty growing out of the Boxer uprising, must be kept clear for those wishing to leave the country.

MOTHER POLAR BEAR.

Mother Polar Bear was all alone and
she was talking softly to herself. "Ah,"
she said, "in such short time my two
little baby bears will come to me.
Either one or two will come along and
l am waiting for them in this little
snug den on the great ice covered wa
ter up north.
II am away from the great world,
away where no one can harm my
babies, away from everything. But
should anyone come near me l would
defend my babies and look after them
even If it cost me my life.
81 would try to save my life, of
course, for l need 1t to look after my
babies, but If that was impossible in
order to save them l would save them
first and then hope that they would
be all right.
"We're a funny lot, we polar bears.
We're wild and we are fierce and we
are strong.
"In the summer we all live far from
the coast and the shore. We're off
where there is ice and weather as
cold as there can be.
"In the spring we often take long
swimming trips out to sea and along
the coasts and in the winter we are
near the coasts for we must be near
food whenever the times become
hard.
"They say it is wonderful that we
can find food, no matter where we
may be, or no matter how terribly
hard year it ia.
sometimes we've been known to
attack human beings in the winter
time far up North where the ice was
so thick and the food so thin.
"At least. suppose you would call
the food that when there wasn't much
of it. But in the spring and in the
summer and most of the time we can
| find food, for we're smart and clever
and hard winters and lands and wa
| tiers where there isn't so much food
will never d. 1cOurage us.
"For years we have been able to
live. and for years more we will live
