HANKOW, China, September 26— Additional details of the alleged Chinese massacre of 1,000 Moslems in a remote part of Kansu Province indicate the af- fair took place at Taochow, an old city in Southwest Kansu, on the Tau River. According to information considered authentic, after a period of Sino-Mos- lem conflict in South Kansu, which was part of a general Mohammedan rebel- lion in Kansu going on during the last two years in the southwest of the prov- ince, Chinese authorities, under the or- der of provincial authorities at Lan- chow, asked Moslems to convene at ‘Taochow for a conferencegand to re- ceive roasted barley. Sexes Separated, Males Butchered. After the Moslems® arrival all of the males between the ages of 15 and 50 were separated from the women and children, taken outside the city walls and “butchered like sheep.” No word reached the women until the next day, when pitiful scenes were en- acted while women sought to identify their dead. Their mournful eries echoed through the city. The Moslems were concentrated in ‘Taochow as a result of intense famine in Southwest Kansu, which resulted in thousands of Mohammedans being re- duced to -desperation of starvation, their suffering intensified by being forced to live unsheltered as a result of their warfare with the Chinese. Moslems Sought Food. As a result of these conditions it was considered that the Moslems were will- ing to meet the Chinese at Taochow in dicate when the Moslems became aware the Chinese authorities intended to kill them they requested no mercy. Hochow, 100 miles northwest of Tao- chow, is reported besieged and Chinese of the Taochow neighborhood are re- ported panic-stricken as a result of the massacre, fearing Hochow Moslems will ravage Taochow countryside and wreak vengeance. The locality concerned is one of the most isolated in all Asia, most difficult. culties of Denials.

CARAVANING IN ENGLAND GAINS IN POPULARITY Many Promiment Persons Join Club, Which Was Formed 22 Years Ago. LONDON (N.A.N.A.).—The /Caravan Club of Great Britain, formed 22 years ago to give its members confidential reports of suitable pitches in all parts of the country, now has a membership exceeding a thousand. Lord Ailesbury is chairman, and among the members are Mr. Justice Eve, Sir Claude de Crespigny, Lady Carbery and Hugh Tyrwhitt Drake. Another keen caravaner is Lady Sybil Grant, eldest daughter of the late Lord Roseberry, who recently set off on a long tour of the north of England with a caravan and a hawker's license. She intends to sell brushes and pegs. Her caravan, brilliantly painted' in the good, old-fashioned way, is very luxurious, and can be fitted with trac- tors to cross the roughest country and moorland. Lady Sybil also has a shoot- ing box on wheels, with sleeping ac- commodation for four persons. It is fitted with a shower bath, refrigerator and complete kitchen. Cicely Hamilton, the dramatist, spends a great deal of her time in a caravan. This is called “The Sloth” and orig- inally started its life as a pantechnicon, but the addition of six windows has made it a light and airy residence.

COPENHAGEN (N.AN.A.).—So many people have been visiting Coperthagen that during the last few weeks a tourist bureau had to rent two cinemas in the | middle of the town and admit its patrons for the night after the final | film performances. A cinema chair is a long way from the comfort of a hotel bed, but so many tourists preferred it to promenad- ing out.of doors for the night that the “house full” placards were utilized. | Anyway, it was no worse than spend- |ing a night in the train without a | wagon-lit ticket. | (Copyright, 1929, by' North American News- paper Alliance.} 50% less repair bills 10% more mileage per gallon of gasoline— were the results when a well known Transport Company, Charleston, S.C.,changed from fancy priced oil to “Standard.” “STANDARD” - - MOTOR OIL The Oilier Oil ISPRING BLIZZARD HITS BYRD'S CAMP 51 Below Zero in Little America—Stovepipe Crash Brings. Merriment. BY RUSSELL OWEN, By Wireless to the New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, - tembér 26.—The uncertainties of sn!r:npl weather are just as pronounced in the Antarctic as anywhere else, and today all work outdoors was stopped by a blizzard. Last night it was 51 below zero, and today it is about 41 below and a strong wind blowing. The dogs that are outside have crawled into their boxes for shelter and nobody goes out except when necessary to go to one of the other houses. Men on house duty have an unpleas- ant time on such days keeping the win- dows free from snow, so that light will shine through. The windows are at the bottom of deep holes in the drift over the house, and from inside one has to look upward at a sharp angle to see the sky. The dry, powdery snow drifts into the holes and over the windows and whoever gets out to clean them comes in covered with snow and thoroughly chilled. _ One of the stovepipes in tHe admin- istration house. chose this day of all others to fall apart and soot and smoke made the atmosphere thick for a time until it was put together again and re- fastened with wire. Such incidents, however, offer the op- portunity for plenty of humorous com- ment on the efforts of those attempting to put the pipe together again and get- ting well blackened in the process, 50| they help to break the monotony of life indoors.
