AMERICA ALSO SENDS NOTES TO CHINESE.
URGES LESS USE OF RAW TROOPS IN FIGHTING. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) WASHINGTON. May 21. The American Minister in China. Mr Mac Murray, has handed similar Notes to the Nationalist and Northern Governments stressing the serious concern with which the United States views the killing' of two American missionaries in the recent fighting at Shantung, and emphasising the desire of the United States that both sides should take every possible measure to prevent the killing of Americans by unseasoned soldiers. The Note to Nanking urges the Nationalists only to send their best troops against Pekin, fearing otherwise that there will be looting- and killing of foreigners. The State Department, however, makes it quite plain that the United States has no desire to interfere in the Chinese war.—Australian Press Association.
NORTHERN ARMY MAKING A STAND
SHANGHAI, May 21. The Northerners are claiming moderate successes on the Pekin-Hankow-Tien-tsin-Pukow railway over their ability to hold positions against the Southerners, who, however, are slowly progressing in the middle of the line. This will possibly result in the turning of the Tsangchow position.—United Service.
