PEKING, June IL Cp.-Representa-

to discuss on the spot the best

The foreign diplomats in their re-

should depart from Shanghai before
peace measures are discussed.
The reply adds that legation repre-.
sentatfves have given instructions to
their delegates now in Shanghai to
consider, together with the consular
body there and representatives of the
Chinese government, the best remedy
for the present state of affairs, which
all countries deplore.
After reminding the Chinese gov.

the Chinese government that it incurs
heavy responsibility in any situation
which concerns the maintenance OF
