Two Made Escape:
Two Chinese succeeded
: in escaping the mountain
stronghold of the bandits.
One made his way to the
headquarters of Defense
Commissioner YunchOw,
who is directing the
, chase, and the other
made for the railroad to
bring the third chapter
of the thrilling chase to
the world through the
international News Serv-
ice.
Commissioner YunchOw
hurried a large force of
troops to the hiding place
pointed out by the Chi
nese guide. Evidence of
the hasty flight of the
bandits and their captives
were found, but they had
made a clean getaway.
The bandits today sent
out an emissary threaten
ing death to all the cap
tiWes unless the pursuing
Chinese regular soldiers
are recalled.
The emissary, an Amer
lean commercial traveller
and writer named Day,
was a passenger on the
train, being captured
along with the others. A
Chinese interpreter was
sent with him from the
robbers stronghold in
the mountains.
(This was the first direct
word from the brigands
since the passenger train
was wrecked and looted
near the Yellow river on
Sunday. Contrary to a re-
port circulated in the
United States, the bandits
made no mention of ransom,
their only demand being
that the troops be called off
from further pursuit.)
Day arrived at Tien-Tsin
. with his message from the
brigands. He was weak
from severe travelling, ex-
posure, and lack of rest. He

and the ,lishtness Of the clothing
worn by the prisoners caused them
intense suffering and threatened
them with illness. All were in their
night clothes.
Unless the captives, particularly
the women and Children, are soon
released they will most certainly
b0 sick.
The bandits gave no consideration
to the women and children. They
beat them with their rifles and spat
upon them when they Jagged. But
In all thiS-despite their natural
fright, exposure, terrible treatment

American women were most cour.

From the second act of an unsuc-

SHANGHAI, May 8.-Miss Lucy

ME McFadden, who were released
after being seized with numerous
other passengers from a. train by
bandits, were reported today to be

Their condition is not serious,

able to proceed to Peking imme-

fright, shock and exposure.
Both women were in night attire
when driven from the train as the
hold-up took place after midnight
while all passengers having sleeping
car accommodations were in their
berths.
1t is understood that there were
about eighteen Americans in all
upon the raided train.
Miss Aldrich was found in a little
Chinese village, fifteen miles from
the scene of the hold-up. She had
been deserted by the bandits when
she fell in her tracks from sheer

Lloyd Lehrbas:
"The march from the
scene Of the attack to the
mountains was a CHASTITY
nightmare. The brigands
welded their gun butts
right and left, forcing the
weary prisoners onward
with blows and curses.
Women Were HystericaI.
"The cries of hysterical
women and children rang
through the darkness.
'"The night was pitch
black. There was no moon.
But the men in the captive
gang were helpless. They
were partly clothed, suffer
ing from pain and shock, and
in a strange, wild country.
There was not a single way
in which they could commu-
nicate with agencies of aid.
"The captives were divided
into small parties to make
escape harder. Each group
was heavily guarded and
hustled forward at top speed
toward the mountains. Some
time a prisoner would stop
and attempt to dig the burrs
from his bare feet. The Chi
nese would grunt a warning.
If it was disregarded, a slap
in the face or a poke with a
rifle barrel would follow.

CAMPAIGN
Ex-Service Man First to Send
Contribution for "Army's"
Humanitarian Work.

The distinction of being the first
to contribute to the Salvation Army
in the campaign for funds just
opened fell to former service
man whose contribution of a s.
bill was received at District head
quarters this morning accompanied
by an interesting letter.
His contribution, he said, was
prompted by a recollection of the
Salvation Army's work in France,
and by the thought that he might
best serve his unfortunate buddies
in this country now through the
army. His letter follows:
IT incloseA herewith IS as my
contribution to help your work in
Washington. Just now this is the
limit of my ability to contribute,
but I send this sum gladly. Like
others of the A. e. F. in France
L had opportunity to learn of your
work over there at first hand, and
send the inclosed in appreciation
of what you did for us boys over
there. 1 feel that through the

Rudolph Jose, chairman of the
finance committee of Washington
citizens in charge of the campaign,
said this morning that last year
the ex-service men of Washington,
those who had been
at the front, were among the
most numerous contributors.
This years campaign is for $780,
coo with which to carry on the
army's humanitarian work in the
District during the coming twelve
months. Contributions should be
addressed to Thomas p. Hickman,
treasurer, GOT E street northwest.
The committee in charge Of the
campaign hopes to raise the fund
solely through voluntary contribu-
tons by mail in order to avoid
personal solicitation, and Chairman
Jose asks all those who intend to
contribute to do SO without waiting
for an appeal by mail or in person.
