SHANGHAI, May 13.—RQear miral Thomas A. Craven is prepar- ing to haul down his nant from the smallest flagship in the Ameri- can navy and return to the United States. He will reach home late this month. ‘The flagship is the Luzon, a tiny craft which draws only six feet. But her sides are scarred with machine gun bullets and scrap iron fired from ancient brass cannons and her decks are dented by rocks hurled by bandits from the precip- itous slope of the great gorge of tha Yangste. That gorge is nearly 3,000 miles upstream, but such is the range of the flotilla which the Luzon leads and her commander oversees. The Yangste river patrol is, in fact, the only unit of the Ameri- can navy which is faced with a day to day state of war. The fighting started years azo. and bhas had little or no letup. Along the mighty Chinese waterway the patrol keeps watch over Amer~ ican commerce, business men and missionaries. ‘While the native communists and cutlaws are frequently armed only with muzzle loading muskets and| ancient brass cannon, some of them have modern rifles and machine guns. They take their pot shots at river traffic from behind solid breastworks of mud and under- growth. United States an'ncd vessels have been on the Yangtse ever since 1871 and Admiral Craven has been one of the most popular of all the offi- cers who have been “the old man” of the fleet. Craven is completing a regular tour of duty. His suc- cessor will take over his work and the fleet will carry on. He comes from a family steeped in the tradition of the United States navy. One of his great-great-grand- fathers was Commodore Thomas Truxton, who commanded the frig- ate Constellation. His other great- great-grandfather was Commodore Thomas Tingley, who was a cap- tain in the first navy. The present son of this sea-far- ing family played end on the Naval with the crew. He got his bap- tism of fire on the Massachusetts and the Eagle in the Spanish war. i In the world war his ship was Ends Duties, Against Bandits Goes On Work of protecting American commerce and citizens against Chi- nese bandits aleng the Yangtse River has ended for Rear Admiral |, Thomas A.

In consequence, they were not considered in the making of the awards. None of the Juneau residents had foretold the time of the break, but neverthe- less they were notified the Dawson Company would refund their de- posits. Nearly all the local resi- dents accepted refunds, but a few, cluding Mr. Housel, left their de- ts and specifications of break- |up time for 1930 stand over for 1931.
