FIGHTING IN CHINA
Alped Armies On Hwailai Front Re- ported To Have Lost Between 5000 and 5000 Men

Picking, July IT Pl-The allied armies of Marshals Chang Tso-lin and Wu Pei-fu, fighting on the Hwailai front, are reported to have lost presumably by defection two brigades, amounting to 5000 to 10,- 900 men, due to reckless attacks against strong enemy positions.
 As the affected forces are mostly former second troops, of the Juom- inchun or nationalist army, whom the allies are fighting, which were incorporated into the allied forces after the first Humoninchun retire ment from Peking, today's report is interpreteA to mean that they have deserted to the Kuominchun.
 There is an entire lack of the usual evidences of heavy battle cas- ualties, which seems to bear out the suppositicn that the troops desert- ed. Fresh artillery troops are be- ing moved to Nankow, near where battle is reported either progressing or about to be launched.

 Still Troublesome Thing

Santiago, Chile, July 17 P)- Three military airplanes are being prepared for flight to the destina- ton of which is reported to be Tac- na, capital of the province of Tacna, in the territory disputed between Chile and Peru.
 Government air service officials refuse to confirm the report or to discuss rumors of the possible es- tablishment of a military aerial base at Tacna.
 Efforts to settle the Tacna Africa dispute by means of plebiscite came to naught recently, when the international commission formed to prepare for the voting decided that a fair plebiscite would be impracti- cable under existing conditions in the provinces. The commission was headed by an American major gen eral, William Lassiter. Since then Chile has retained con 1 trol of the provinces.

THREE YOUTHS ARE
 RESCUED AT SEA
Cling to Overturned Boat and
 Cheat DaVy Jones

New York, July 1.-The good ship Kitten, a sixtean-foot catboat owned by Harry Bennett of 611 West 10th street, is tied up at the Battery awaiting a favorable wind to sail up the Hudson to Ninety sixth street. and it's youthful crew of three are resting at their homes here after a wreck at sea which al- most cost them their lives. The Kit ten. water logged and capsized. with it's crew olinging to the gunwale, was picked up Tuesday fifteen miles off shore by a fishing boat and tow ed into Fulton street. New York.
 Bennett, the skipper of the Kit ten, is 19 years old. His companions were Donald Bainbridge, 16 years old. of 523 Riverside Drive. and Jack Lenigan, IF, of 1910 Prospect avenue. The storm which over turned their craft was the third which threatened to send them to the bottom in thirteen-day cruise from Hyannis. Mass. to New York.
 The boys. all experienced sailors, encountered their first storm in Martha's Vineyard. Their craft al- most foundered, but they got her into Newport harbor, while a two- masted schooner was pounding to pieces on the rocks outside. Off Saybrook another storm of wind and rain struck them and they got to shore wit hthe bow under water.
 But Tuesdays storm was the worst. They were on their way from Long Island shore to Stamford when the storm blew up at p. m. and ragged for two hours. They took three reefs in their sail, but still the little boat was manageable. Water poured in and they bailed frantical- ly. In the distance they saw fish ing boat on its way from the banks 1t. As they approached it a gust overturned the catboat and they were all thrown into the sea.
 The fishing boat, the Martha Fo- ley. rushed on to their rescue, how even and Captain Foley and his four sailors dragged them from the water. The storm began subsiding then, and they were able to right the Kitten, bail her out, and tow her the 65 miles remaining to New York.
 Bennett seemed quite unper- turbed in talking Of his adventure last night. Shipwrecks are already an old story to this 19-year-old sea captain. Last year he was wrecked on barren island off Nova Scotia and remained there five days before being picked up. And there's plenty of good sailing weather left this summer.

INDIAN BRAVES START
 THREE DAYS DANCING
Fifty Shoshone and Bannock Bucks to Begin Their Sun Dance
 This Evening.

Pocatello, Idaho, July 17 Pl-A picked band of 50 Shoshone and Bannock braves from the Fort Hall Indian reservation this evening will start three-day marathon about a weird totem pole Tn a revival of the historic sun dance.
 More than 1 1000 tribesmen and their families are assembled at the dance grounds at the big bend on the Portneuf river 10 honor the sun god. The dance climaxes weeks of fasting and ceremonies which the Indians believe will gain them spir- itual aud physical aid from the sun god.
 Refusal of the redmen to discon- tinue part of the barbaric rites led to an absolutue ban on the dance four years ago. The revival was agreed to when the Indians prom ised to abandon the practice of slashIng their chests with knives and suspending themselves from poles by means of deer sinews passed under the chest muscles. No food will be given the dancers during the ceremony, which starts at sunset and is expected to reach It's climax Monday night. The dancers will be allowed small quan- titles of water purified by the sun god.
 Most of the participants drop from exhaustion at the conclusion of the dance and are then given small amounts of food in prepara- tion for the feast which ends the ritual.
 Although tribal leaders have promised no barbaric rites will be practiced, authorities will maintain rigid supervision, fearing the lead CTS will be unable to control the ex- cited braves
