Part of the government troops gar- risoning the city deserted to join the Reds, whose troops practically isolated the city by digging trenches across ‘roldl and cutting telegraph lines. One dispatch said the Communists STAR, had kidnaped the Chinese agent of the Standard Oll Co. of New York at Changchow, holding him for a ransom of $15,000 Mexican (about $7,500). Refugees from Changchow, practically surrounded by threatening troops re- ported on the verge of attacking the city, were heading toward Amoy.

British authori- tles considered the situation at Shasi, Hupeh Province, critical, and sent & gunbost 1o evacusie British nationals there. Fifteen hundred marauders attacked an American steamer at Shasi, wound- ing three Chinese members of the crew. The bullets of the attackers battered the ship severely before she escaped.

The bomb was dropped by a plane of the rebellious Northern alliance. 83-Year-0ld Veteran's Exploit. TRENTON, N. J. May 31 (P).— Capt. Willlam H.
