Retain Morale,
By RAY G. MARSHALL
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT


PEKING, May 22.-Foreigners who
travel through the Shantung bandit
area are taking their lives in their
hands, according to a warning by the
legations Of the powers.
Even soldiers guarding the railway
line are distrusted because of their
constant contact with emissaries of
the outlaws. Trains are traversing
the Shantung- Tien Tsin route only by
daylight.
Meanwhile American and other cap
tives remain on the mountain top,
where they are held for ransom. this
being their third week Of captivity.
They are surrounded by bandits. many
of whom are afflicted with infectious
disease.
To date the morale Of the hostages
is unbroken, despite the contact with
these brigands and the fact their new
camp is in more depressing surround
ings than the first,
Foreign commercial bodies are pro.
viding large supplies Of food for the
outlaws. so they will refrain from
stealing the prisoners supplies.
