WASHINGTON, DIG. Nav 22- Acting Secretary of War Davis conferred with Secretary of State Hughes today regarding the Chinese situation. It is understood Secre- tary Hughes desired information with relation to the possible use of American troops in the event of the failure of all other measures to secure the release of Americans held captive by Chinese bandits.
 Should military action be decided upon it is believed additional forces will be sent to China from the Philippines, as the 800 American soldiers now in China probably will not be sufficient to handle the sit uation.

Awaiting Information

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 22- President Harding and the members of cabinet have decided the Ameri- can government must be guided by advices from Minister Schurman in efforts to secure the release of the captives.

 American observers in China have reported to the state department that further negotiations between the Chinese government authorities and the bandit leaders are futile unless there is foreign representa- tion on the Chinese delegation. They suggest that Roy Anderson, Ameri- can, long a resident of China and intimately familiar with conditions, be chosen to negotiate and that he be clothed with plenepotentiary powers to deal with the bandits.
