with the skirt.
In this case, bodice Of brown

chiffon overblouse is made in -four
sections and the lower sleeves,
also of chiffon, are attached to the
lace blouse, which meets them in

Banditry in China is more than
ordinary banditry; it is an organized
movement against the central govern

local attorney, who recently made a
four months tour OF China, including
the section where the bandits are
operating.
Tt will be necessary either to
bring about some sort Of unihcation
of the Chinese government or for
some foreign power to intervene, If
outrages of the kind now going on
are TO be stopped, Myers said today.

over the railroad from Shanghai to
Peking, the same road on which the
bandits held up the train and took
Americans and English prisoners.
THE train on which I rode was the
second after bandits had torn up
about three miles Of the track. The
track had been replaced at the in
distance Of the Japanese, American,
English and German governments.
