But, the influential independent newspaper said: "The men would seem to be well and comfortable. The offer would not else have been made.

"More than that, the Chinese government is clearly anxious to make a propitiatory gesture to American feelings and keep the international temperature low.

Pumps are employed at several spots along riverside avenues, The city's tap water has turned yellow, but officials said it was still safe to drink.

Worse off was suburban Puteaux which went without lights 35 minutes last night when a transformer was flooded.
