THINKS PRISONERS WILL Be
RELEASED IN SHORT Time
American Who Escaped Believes,
However, That One False Move
VIII Cause Their Execution.

Ry Tho Associated Press,
Shanghai May IS. Lloyd Lehrbas.
an American newspaperman who was
on the strengthening express train
wrecked by bandits near Suchow IL
DAYS ago but who escaped before the
foreign captives were taken into the
Shantung hills, has arrived in Shang-
hal with the prediction that unless
there are unforeseen developments
the prisoners will be released In 10
days or two weeks.
He quoted Marcel Oliver Berube,
the French captive who was IN Tsao-
chwang OIL brief parole from the
bandit stronghold as saying:
1T am satisfied that the one slight
est suspicious move on orr part or by
the Chinese troops the bandits Will
kill one or two of us, and send out
the bodies"
Lehrbas intends to return to Tsao-
chwang shortly. Negotiations with
the bandits are proceeding, he said,
with everything possible being done,
Communications to the foreign
hostages still can he forwarded from
Tsaocfwang to the new and more re-
mote camp of the bandits. Lehrbas
added. Regarding the censorship,
he explained that delays In the
transmission of kilograms from Tsao-
chwang was due chiefly to the single
wire manned by a 65-year-old oper-
ator who had to handle floods of Off
cial messages principally to and from
Picking.

PaDEREWsKrS GIFT.

The generous act of the famous
man, Ignacy Jan Paderewski in send
ing a check for $500 to be used for
the new Polish Orphanage is cited as
an example Of recognition by prom
inent man of the splendid standing in
this city on representatives OF his
race. The people Of this city appre-
ciate the continuing efforts of those
in whose veins flows blood of other
races to make good American citizens
of their people by holding high stand
ards before them, by assisting In TAX
ing care of their own people and at
the same time increasing their inter-
est in things essentially American. 1t
is not the isolated act alone that is
emphasized, although that in itself de-
serves emphasis, but it is rather with
the desire to let those outside of this
city who have sh own their apprecia-
ton of the work being done here by
the people of many other countries,
know they are helping worthy causes
when they give their support to such
movements.
Those especially interested in the
Polish Orphanage are, of course ap-
preciative of this particular gift. The
generous benefactor should know, too,
that all the people of the city join
with those of his own race In an ex-
nression of thanks to him, as they
ioin the people of all nations who
have cause to express their thanks
to those who help causes in which
they are vitality interested.
