AMERICA'S PEKING ANXIETY.

WILL LEGATION BE MOVED NEARER SEA?

According to a Fengtien spokesman who has made an important statement to foreign correspondents, negotiations are proceeding for an alliance between Marshal Chang Tso-lin, General Chiang Kai-shek and General Yen Hsi-shan on the basis of the Reds being eliminated. Prospects of the United States Legation being moved from Peking to a spot nearer the sea are again being discussed, though it is said Legation officials are still striving to secure a stronger policy, in view of the immense loss of prestige to America if she alone withdraws.
