 The observer discredited the as- sertions of the Chekiang forces LI> they were victorious in the vicinity of Hwangtu during the past three days. He said the Kiangsu forces were fully confident and organized well. The observe said he had wit messed night battles in the outskirts of Hwangtu in which both sides used artillery.

 The ineffectiveness Of shells fired by she Chekang forces. the obser- yer ssdd, was shown in an examina- tion of the wounded, which revealed that nearly all were victims of rifle or machine gun fire.

 They made an appointment to meet Domanski at the corner of La Sale ad Allen streets, where he was to bring his money, and they were to show him the site near Lawlor street that they had selected to pur- chase for the new institution.

drowned while skating with a party Of
boys The article went on to say thai
while the boy who broke thru the ice
was struggling in the icy water in an
effort to get out, the remainder of
the party stood on the shore Of the
lake, powerless to help him and not
daring to venture out on the cracking
ice The boy in the water was soon
rendered helpless by the intense cold
and sank.
Just the other day we read where a
man, one of party, broke thru the
ice of a river and would have lost
his life had not the rest of the party
quickly stripped off their coats. tied
the sleeves together, thus making a
sort OF rope which they tossed out to
the man in the water, who was able
