WILBUR MAKES LIST.
Has Dates on Foreign Naval Vessels
i'm Chinese Neighborhood.

At the request of the State Depart
ment, Secretary Wilbur has compiled
a list showing what American, Brit
ish, French, Italian and Japanese
naval forces are within short sailing
distance of the centers of disturbance
in China.
Apparently the State Department
wanted the data for information pur-
poses only, but the request was taken
as rejecting the concern with which
developments in China are being
watched in Washington.
The American Government does not
intend TO interfere in any factional
or local disorders, but it will protect
American lives and property to what
ever extent becomes necessary.
Thus far the situation has been left
in the hands of Admiral Washington,
commanding the American Asiatic
fleet, and of the Peking diplomatic
corps.
