dts in Shantung province.
Only as n last resort, It was said

would relieve the Picking government
of responsibility in the case.
The Chinese situation was under.
stood to have been the only subject
of discussion by the cabinet today.
Cabinet officials were said to regard
existing conditions in China as very
serious. They described h attitude
of this government as being willing
to do everything becoming a great
power and n great citizenship in the
face of n grave danger.
The first consideration OF the
Washington government was a to
be to save the lives of h captives.
1t was pointed out. however. that
the United States government could
not proceed safely except on the adj
vices of its representatives in China.
Minister Schurman and the American
