Serious trouble in the regions where the Northern army is in retreat is not expected, since few Americans remain in North China, officials pointing out that their concentration at Tientsin has been proceeding for several weeks in line with the American policy previously decided upon. The movement will concentrate virtually the whole American marine force at Tientsin. Legation to Remain.

However, the troops will be withdrawn as soon as events permit." The Legation is known to be considering military protection for Americans at Pehtaiho, coastal resort 150 miles east of the capital. It is also arranging shipping to take off those at the resort if necessary. Butler Off to Tientsin.
