FORCES IN

ADEQUATE
With Others Now EnrOute
President Believes All
Americans Protected,
MINISTER A D VISES
MacMurray Urges Action
To Prevent Repetition
Of Marking Outrage
BY LUDWELL DENNY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Manch 29.-Pre-
sident Coolidge considers the
American forces now in China or en-
route there adequate to protect
American lives and property, the
White House announced today.
The President, however, is guided
bv the judgment Of Admiral C. 8.
Williams, Asiatic commander in
chief, and will doubtless send ad-
ditional forces if Williams should
consider them necessary, it was ad-
ded.
The White House statement fol
lowed receipt from American Min
lister MaeMurray of recommenda-
tions of American officials at
Marking, for action to prevent re.
petition elsewhere of the Marking
riots.
"Minister MacMurray further in
formed the state department of the
receipt of message from Marking
under date Of March 81, (Chinese
time) that examination of deposi-
tions and verbal statements made
by reliable Americans show that
the outrages committed by Nation
alist soldiers at Marking were even
more riotous than was at first
realized.
"There were two known cases of
attempted but unsuccessful crimin-
al assault upon women. There were
also several other cases only slight
ly less serious in character.
"The message states that the
campaign of terrorism and insult to
foreigners is not only officially
countenanced and directed but even
pre-arranged. The incident at Nan
king could hardly have been more
outrageous. The worst incidents
would have been greatly multiplied
but for the timely bombardment.
Suggestion is made by this
(MacMurray) message of the imme-
diate withdrawal of all Americans
in Nationalist territory and the un-
dertaking of some action suffi-
ciently strong to defer the perpetra-
ton of similar incidents else
where

ney's office and the police author
