Washington News on Pekin Evacuation Doubts and China Policy
Washington reports two casualty lists from General Chaffee dated Tien Tsin prompt a claim that Pekin was evacuated by American forces.

Cabinet officials say Russia’s moves have not unsettled the U.S. and no war with Russia is evident. The U.S. seeks commercial freedom in China as a condition of any final settlement, with notes to powers under consideration. Secretary Root and Acting Secretary Atee attended a White House China conference. no serious developments reported.
