SHANGHAI, March 3.-Making their biggest haul In recent years, robbers last night raided a building in the interna- tional settlement and made off with about $50,000 in gold bars. The robbery was stated to have been staged In what was termed “American style.” Gunmen armed with automatic pistols held up the staff and forced the manager to open U L ‘The con- tents were quickly transferred to wait- ing automobiles, which sped away. No arrests were made, but the robbery was followed by a series of quick ratds by police. The police wore bullet- proof clothes, which had been made for them during the afternoon. They ar- rested a gang of 24 kidnapers, who are part of a larger band of terrorists. They also released a 7-year-old Chinese boy who was being held for a ransom of £30,000 ($150,000). Recently the settlement authorities declared war on banditry in Shang- hal in an effort to check n growing wave of robberies, hold-ups, murders and kid- napings. “They placarded the international area with posters, mostly in Chinese, calling upon the public to assist the police in the arrest of criminals.
