U. S. Officials Puzzled
How to Deal With China

The United States Government is

situation arising out Of the capture
and imprisonment of five Ameri-

This was candidly admitted today
by members of the Cabinet as they
met again at the White House to
consider American policy.
But three avenues Of action are
open to this and other foreign gov
ernments in handling the situation,
1t was said by one member of the
Cabinet. They are:

army movement and great expense,
but 1t also would be likely to pro

the Chinese masses, similar to that
which flared forth in the Boxer

The general staff has estimated, il

10000 troops would be necessary for
any major campaign in China, and
officials believe that this Is out OF
