Foshay said he was back financially where he was when he started in 1917 and petitioned the) Government to pay expenses of all defense witnesses at the second BOTH WOMEN AND GHILDREN QUIT NANKING |Business Men and Mission- aries Are Undecided About Leaving NANKING, Feb. 3. — American |and British women and children are evacuating Nanking this after- | noon, traveling to Shanghai by | boats.
