SAYS BANDITS ARE
LEAVING RETREAT

TSAOCHWANG. May 25.-Gun
fire heard near here today is taken
to indicate that government troops
are engaging the bandits in the hills,
or bandits are fighting among them
selves as result of a disagreement at
their conference, which was schedul-
ed for today. II was learned from
different sources that the brigands
have taken their captives from
Paotzuku mountain and have moved
them two miles farther into the
hills.
The sudden retirement apears to
indicate that the troops acting un-
der orders from Tsao Kun. Inspector
general of Shantung. are following
the plan advocated by the tuchum
of the province to dig the bandits
out"
