FUGTIVES TRGKED ESCAPING NANKING ' Flight Delayed by Cantonese Soldiers, Who Detain Them by Ruse. By Cable to The Star and New York World LONDON, March 27.—The Daily Mail today is printing the following dispatch, dated March 26, from Sir Percival Phillips, its correspondent in Shanghai: “The fir unt of the thrilling experiences of a small group of foreigners besieged at the Standara Oil Co.'s compound during an attack by Cantonese soldiers at Nanking was given me by T. F. Laughlin, manager of a business firm, when he arrived ¢ with 150 other refugees in steamer Kungo. coherent a 'hey escaped death by a narrower | margin than the garrison at the lega tion at Peking during the Boxer re- bellion of 1900. They werc huddied | together in the general manager's| house, which is on the crest of a hiil adjoining and above the top of the city wall, during Thursday forenoon, Wwhen all foreign property was being systematically pillaged, when men and women were beaten and robbed and those resisting were either wound- | ed or killed Under_Constant Fire. *“This little company drifted together | to the compound. They came from va-| rious directions and were under con-| stant fire. John K. Davis, United | States consul, with his wife and two| children, and several others, followed | A circuitous route, escorted by Amer- | ican Marines who had been forced to | abandon the consulate “Others included Mr. bart, D. C. Sims and of the Standard Oil Co.; F. C. Jordan, J. Bolton and L. T. Bernard, ail of | the British-American Tobacco Co.; J. | and Mrs. Ho-| M. Green, all 1. Bowker of the Asiatic Petroleum | Co., J. T. McConnell and E. T. Ware | of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., and Capt. Heathcote of the Royal Marines. | “The manager’s house was used as 2 relay point for signals between the United States consulate in the city and American warships in the harbor. This fact saved the lives of the refu- gees. The shortest route to the river was by the top of the wall and across ©pen country. It was decided to take the party that way. | ““Several men went to the top of the wall with ropes and prepared to lower the others. Mr. Halvorssen, chief ex- aminer of customs; Mr. Johnson, also of the customs, and Mr. Lebas of the | postal service, negotiated the wall in safety, Detained by Ruse. “'Before the others cculd be sum- moned and lowered, two Cantonese soldiers approached with friendly ges- tures and shouts to go back to the| house, promising full protection. This was a ruse to get the refugees inside, for soon after their return a larger hody of soldiers entered the compound and began looting the assistant man- ager's house. . leanwhile the ropes left beside the wall were stolen, leaving the party helpless. After ransacking the empty house adjoining, the looters tried the door of the general manager's resi- dence, but found it locked. They were trying to break it down when Mr. Davis and Mr. Hobart descended, leaving the remainder the party iying on the -floor al in utter sllence. “They tried to parley with the soldiers, who, thinking there was no one else inside the house, first de- manded surrender of all arms. Hop- ing to satisfy them, Mr. Davis handed over four automatic pistols belonging 10 the Marines, who had hidden their rifles for more than two hours. Mr. Davis and Mr. Hobart argued and cajoled in an effort to prevent the soldiers from entering. Finally the soldiers declared they were determined 10 search the building for themselves and started to force their way in, saying, ‘come, kill all the British." ‘The Marines recovered their rifies. loaded them and prepared for a last stand at the head of the staircase, Fortunately, by a previous arrange. ment with American gunboats in the river, a rocket was sent up which the warships knew to be an S. O. S. Shell Bursts Near Wall. “A moment later a shell exploded against the wall a few yards away, tearing a great hole and showering broken bricks in all directions. The | soldlers immediately fled. Other shells arrived at regular intervals, so ac- curately placed that there was not the slightest danger to occupants of the house. They fell about the open ground at the front. “In systematic and thorough fash- fon the Emerald alone fired 45 rounds, using only one gun. Immediately the soldiers were in flight, the party emerged from the house, carrying blankets and sheets, with which they improvised ropes. The ropes repeat- edly broke, one such accident resuit- ing in Mr. Hobart fracturing and dis- Jocating an ankle. “Women and children were first low- ered to safety. As soon as the shell- ing began a combined British-Ameri- can landing ,party started for the house via tBe new gate, but before they reached it they saw the refugees making theit way across the open country in the direction of the river. Trip Takes 50 Minutes. “It was a difficult journey of 50 minutes through fields and over canals, with marines in front and be hind. Mr. Hobart was carried by two of his companions. “The party saw many Chinese ci- vilians and Northern soldiers hiding under cvery available cover in ex- treme terror. As they approached the bank the Wolsey, in midstream, moved closer inshore and boats were sent off. “The British staff of the Peking Rallway also arrived in the Kungo. | They #aid the Cantonese boasted they came to Nanking to turn out or kill foreigners, and that the warships dared not take action.” JUDGE DISMIéSES PLEA OF 2 WASHINGTONIANS | Daughters of Gen.

Thing, whose family resides at 18 bourne street, Washington, and First Lieut. R. S. Pendleton, whose Washington address is 1636 Kenyon street, are the only two known Washingtonians among the Marines here who are under orders to depart They are attending the Marine Corps school with about 24 other officers, all of whom, it is un- derstood, are to be a part of the e: peditionary force. Maj. Gen. Eli K. Cole, commandant of the marine base, spent nearly all day in_Washington conferring at marine headquarters, and did not re turn here until late in the afternoon. Gen. Cole will remain as commander. The officers and enlisted men on duty iIn the administration building were reading about the ‘“war in China” in the newspapers without im. mediate expectation that some of them soon were destined to be on the scene of activities, when the first orders came from Washington about 11 o'clock. Orders then were to have 1,600 men stand by. Immediately the word was passed around the post and headquarters was buzzing with activities. Capt. Chaplain Ma orders to shut down on “liberty,” a keen disappointment to those who were anxious to make hurried trips to Washington in anticipation of say- ing good-bye to relatives and sweet- hearts. Then when the number dwin- dled to a scant 500, the rigid ban on “liberty” was lifted somewhat. Many “Beg Off” for Night. Tonight the trains to Washington and other nearby points were fairly well sprinkled with the forest green uniforms of enlisted men and officers who had succeeded in “begging off” for the night. Marines are used to recelving un- expected orders to “shove off” for parts unknown, and the enlisted men for the most part reacted calmly. “You can always tell a ‘boot’"” one of the noncoms remarked after “chow” tonight. “Gee, some of those fellows could hardly swallow their beans, they were that excited.” But the scene at this large base, out- side of headquarters, was compara- tively calm compared to what it will be between Monday and Wednesday. Unless orders are changed—and they are being changed almost hourly the Quartermaster Corps will begin is- suing clothing and equipment the day before actual departure. The Tank Corps began to show signs of activity early, and several of the tanks were taken out on the field and tested for service. Scenes at the aviation base also began to liven as the corps of mechanics began testing and tuning up the six planes that were ordered today to join the forces. 86 TO GO FROM DISTRICT. 13 From Navy Yard and Rest From Barracks. Marines, a large majority of whom are non-commissioned offi- cers, and two leutenants of the corps will leave Washington some time tomorrow for China, by way of Philadelphia, it was learned last night Thirteen of the men are from the Marine guard at the vy Yard and the remainder are from the Marine Barracks. Verbal orders to select the fore- going number were recelved at the Navy Yard and the barracks late yes- terday afternoon, and within a short time five sergeants and eight cor- porals of the Navy Yard guard had been notified to prepare for depar- ture tomorrow. They immediately began notifying friends and relatives throughout the city. One or two of the non-commissioned officers are ‘married. At the barracks the task of select- Ing the 73 men was much harder and officers detailed to the work were poring over records until an early hour this morning selecting those non-commissioned officers and pri- vates who have at least one more ear to serve. A large number of these selected will not be notified un- til early today Very few of those who are to go leave families behind, it was said Hits Corps Institute. The call on the barracks for the 73 men_ struck a blow to the Marine Corps Institute, which conducts an educational correspondence course for the men throughout the corps. Most of the men to be chosen will have to drawn from the “instructor: it is to correct papers, otherwise assist in the education of those Ma- rines who apply for the course. Those from the Navy Yard Guard who were chosen out of a force of more than 100 marines are: Sergt. L. Burrows, John Kechner, Winfree H. Dunis and Iver C. Joseph J. Steine, B.

Snyder will include Maj. D. Randall, who is now attached tc Marine Corps headquarters here. DAIRYMEN HALT CHANGE IN INSPECTION METHODS Association of Virginia Successful- ly Protests Recommendation Made to the State Legislature. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 26.—As a result of protests by the Virginia State Dairymen’s Association, of which C. T. Rice of Oakton is president, and by other dairy interests, there will be no change in the present system of dairy inspection in Virginia, it was indicated here. The association and a large delega- tion of dairy representatives from all parts of the State registered their op- position to a change in no uncertain tones at a meeting last week in the Senate chamber. The committees on courts of justice and on agriculture received the protests sympathetically and voted in favor of leaving the dalry inspection service as it Is.

LONE-HAND POLICY Co-operation With British Expected to Follow Nan- king Bombardment. Whatever else may develop from| the present crisis in China the joint bombardment (anking by Amer-| ican and British naval forces means | the end of the attempt of the United States to play a lone hand in the Far East. Due to the fact that British in- vestments are many times larger than those of American citizens the Wash- ington Government has been inclined | to feel that the sending of the large | British force in January was a policy | which made it difficult for the United States to co-operate. Had the Brit- ish sent a small force there would have been no embarrassment in join- ing with the British The looting at Nanking and at- tacks on American citizens, however, forced the hand of the American Gov- ernment, and today Washington is grateful that the British have a large force on hand to assist in protecting the American: The orders given to the American naval commanders to co-operate with the British forces now are unqualified. It is no longer a diplomatic policy, but a military prob- lem, and in this the Navy Depart- ment has been given a free hand. Japan’s Hand Also Forced. For some time in the conversations | between Great Britain and the United | States the fear has been expressed | that the presence of a large military | force might provoke outrages against | all_foreigners. | Japan, like the United States, has endeavored to steer an individual course, but events have compelled the three powers to present a united | front. There are some suggestions heard that the division of opinion | at among the foreign powers was partly responsible for the indifference of the Chinese commanders to the various protests concerning the measures taken by the rival chieftains to protect foreign life and property. The difficulties, on the other hand. of American diplomacy, which has always endeavored to exhibit it friendship to the Chinese people, will not be easy to solve. For the moment the task is one of protection and evacuation of foreign settlements, but once this is accomplished and the Chinese commanders realize the grav- ity of the situation, the question will arise as to what satisfaction 11 be ven by the Chinese for the indigni. es they have visited upon foreign citizens. U. S. to Stand With Others. The United States very likely will stand squarely with the British and the Japanese, not only in demanding indemnities, but in stating that no government will be recognized in China which, in its process of mill- tary ascendancy, has flagrantly dis- regarded the rights of foreigners. The hope of the Cantonese leaders naturally is to win recognition, but the responsibility for the killing of Americans, British and Japanese has been directly fixed upon uniformed soldiers of the Cantonese army. It makes it difficult for the Cantonese to argue that irregular bands com- itted the outrages. m[’rcs'idvl‘t Coolidge and his cabinet feel the tenseness of the situation and realize there is danger of an out- break in other ports besides Nanking and that once the problem of protec- tion is solved there remains the deli- cate diplomatic issue of developing & policy for the United States in the Far East which shall not become too much entangled in Britain’s special ms in China. profie - (Covyright. 1927.)
