 TIENTSIN, May 26.-There are barely 5000 foreign soldiers ex- cluding Japanese available in this noiehborh0od which gre at the command of the foreign military headquarters in North China for an emergency move against 10000 ban dits in the Shantung Province.
 They include 1000 Americans, 800 British, 1000 French and small attachments of foreign marines and volunteers.
 The oonceneus of opinion is it would be inadvisbaleto use force agsinst the bandits except as a last resort.
 Military action, however, may be undertaken by the foreign authori- tics if the problem of the release of the captives is reduced to the choice between death of the tap- tives from disease or at the hands of the bandits.
 Tha present foreign forces are be- lieved totally inadequate for an of- fensive.
 Foreign quarters hold the powers should immediately reinforce the present detachments in preparation for possible future developments.

UNDERWOOD TO
TELL HIS POLICY

Washington, July 1.-The country's
reaction to Senator Underwood's re-
cent criticism of the policies of the
Republican administration brought
disappointment. His friends want
him to lose little time in coming back
with a positive declaration of do
nestle and foreign program that will
put him on solid ground.
The Alabama Legislature, which is
to meet this month, may afford the
opportunity for his next utterance.
1t is highly probable that if his an
nouncement for the Presidency is to
be made in the near future it will
come before his own people. He in
tends to go to Montgomery soon after
the legislature meets and is now con-
sidering whether ne will accept an
invitation to speak.
Whether he announces his candi-
dacy formally or confines his state
ments to public issues, his next pub
lie declaration, his friends say, will
set forth definite remedies for restor-
ing the countrys prestige abroad and
for bringing more stable conditions OF
prosperity at home.
Wilson Democrats are curious over
his stand on the League of Nations.
They will demand that no one shall
be nominated for President who is
against this countrys entrance into
the league. They doubt if Under
wood is prepared to take a positive
position on this question.
He is cleaning up accumulated
business at his ONCE here prepara-
tory to his return to Alabama.

ALLIES AND TURKS

formailt;cs: it was argued that these
were too general.
An official communicate issued after
the session declared that private
meetings had succeeded in establish
ing an accord in principle on the
til ee questions in disputc-the Otto
man debt, concessions. and evacua-
items. An agreement was arranged
whereby all foreign troops will be
withdrawn within six weeks after
ratification of the treaty by Angora
and the warships, arms and NUM-
lions belonging to the Ottoman gov
eminent, now in the hands of the al
lied forces, will be restored to Tur-
key.
AS to the Ottoman debt the allies
are agreed with the Turks that all
reference to the debt should be re-
moved from the treaty. This is a
great victory for The Turks, because
it means they do not so on official
record us confirming the obligations
of tie debt. The allies, however,
will make declaration before the
conference that the debt contracts
cannot be modified g ccpt by ,.lutual
agreement between Turkey ant t G
bondhodCrS.

The Near East conference which
has ended in an agreement on all
points has been in session since April
% last. This was the resumption of
the first Near East peace conference
which began November 20, 1922, and
collapsed on February 4, the follow
ing year.
The first conference failed because
the Turks refused to accept the
clauses relating to the future eco
nomic regime in Turkey and to some
extent because they would not ac-
cept the allied formula dealing with
juridicial guarantees for foreigners.
which were to replace the existing
extra territorial privileges.
At the opening of the second con-
ference on April %, it was announc-
cd that the safeguarding of the legi-
innate national interest of the Unit
ed States and of he principle of
commercial opportunity for all ma
tons would be the guiding rule of
the American representatives attend
ing the conference. Since then the
United States has played an import
ant part in the adjustment of the
