Holleman awd Mre. Hémry Poppen during the lesting of the Lungyens- chow missien and their escape to Amey in Chigess colthing, were revealed teday by the two women who, ‘aitheugh sullering from ner- vousshook, were sufficiently recov- ored to tell what had happened. ‘M. .Holleman's husband, Dr. nan of Springfleld, South Da- kota, was kidnapped by the Chi- nese, who said they needed him to treat their wounded. The refugees #ald 2,000 communist soldiers at- tacked the missionary compound of the. American Reformed Preaby- terian mission. Rifie Shots Heard “We had risen early and were finished with- breakfast,” Mrs. Pop- pen, wife of a. missionary who es- caped, sald. “I-was teaching my son, Kenneth, when rifie firing be- gen. mear our house and enemy troops were aseen approaching it. Realising the -danger, I hurried with the - children to the girls' school. There was no time to col- lect personal effects. Mrs Holleman with her children joined us at the girls’ school. “This location soon became pre- earious as marauding troops were firing ‘their rifies reckiessly. We at- tempted to enter the homes of Chi- nese friends, but they refused, hav- ing mo room for wus and feeling that ‘our presence might endanger the lives of the entire Chinese fam- ily. However, other Chinese friends gsve' us Chinese clothing and di- rected us to an empty house, where we "hid throughout the day. Con- sequently I do not know of the de- tailed activities of the looting troops throughout the day. Assisted by Chinese “After dark we dressed in the Chinese clothing and cromed the river to the other side of the city where other Chinese friends re- ceived and amsisted us, making ar- rangements for our departure to Amoy.

The rain was pouring, lightning flashed and the thunder echoed through the mountains© We were wet to the skin and the children were crying and tired, often wading knee deep through muddy waters. How we did it, I don’t know.” More Consulates Raided Tokyo, May 39 (M—Press dis- patches from Harbin, Manchuria, today asserted that Sino authorities had raided the soviet consulates at Tsitsihar ‘and Manchoull in addi- tion to those at Harbin and Buifen- ho yesterday. It was said it had been estab- lished from reliable sources that the Chinese nationalist government at Nanking had ordered the raids, hoping to uncover a definite con- nection of the soviet government with Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, who is leading a revolt in central China. All regular counsular officials detained have been released, but 85 alleged communist operatives were still being held In Tokyo the comment of the na- tive press showed some alarm at the stiffened Chinese attitude in Manchuria. The Asahi said: “It ap- pears that the real Chinese motive is to seize the Chinese Eastern Raflway from the soviet, in which event Japan cannot be indifferent, since it is to be expected a similar high-handed policy would = be launched shortly by the Chinese against the South Manchurian Railway.” The Kokumin 8himbun, indepen- dent and somewhat chauvinistic, said it hoped the incident would be ¢cleared up peacefully, as otherwise there would be danger of Japan becoming involved in the Northern Manchuria imbroglio 30 M Trapped P — The Shanghai, May 29 Ayne ECONOMICAL 4c PER HOUR!

The talking picturcs are allowing the old actors t4 come into their own, according to Mr. Bunny, and are proving very popular with the actors and actresses, except stars of very recent years. Actors with pre- vious stage experience are finding talking pictures to their liking. The stars of late years are taking elo- cution lessons daily but Mr. Bunny thinks that this is useless because he believes in the old saying that “‘ac- tors are born and not made.” The apparatus used for taking talking pictures is a great improve- ment over the silent picture machin- ery. It is now possible to take long, medium and short shots without changing the cameras. A number of cameras are installed in booths and take whatever shot is necessary.
