nesc soldiers were killed by a force
of Tibetans near IIsiang Chcng on
the borders of the Tibet during "A
night attack last night. The Chinese
troops also lost 81 xmachine guns.
The official reason given for the
defeat of the troops is that the SOL
diers refused to trust their COM
mander's knowledge OF the country
and became insubordinatc. During
the confusion the Tibetans seized the
opportunity of attacking the column,
which was totally defeated.

FRAUD ON THE WATERMELON

From the Philadelphia Press.
The ccndcscending foreigner visit
ing our favored shores has often
ycnturcd to wonder at the native
partiality for the watermelon. An
experimental indulgence In n seq
mcnt OF the spherical fruit has
evoked an expression OF disappoint-
mcnt. The fam. OF the dclicacy is
universal. but the luscious promise
of the roscn'c pulp is not always full
filled by the flavor. consequently
the condescending foreigner advanc-
cs the theory that the water melon
Is not only an acquired taste, but
probably nn endowment OF the ma
tive born.
Watermelon lovers may hereafter
commend the condcsCcndin2 foreign
ers to partake OF the artificially fla-
yored varieties which the Iioosiers
are cultiya,ing. On; in lnjianny. the
home OF James Whitcomb Riley.
growers are making hypodcrmtc in

Hated by the growing melon. which
