Of depositors stormed their doors de-
handing return of funds. The run
followed attacks of the Spanish Ian
guase newspapers on the Royal Bank.
Police reserves were called out in
Havas and Havana when fighting and
rioting broke out.
President Machado hurried to the
main branch and deposited 100000

angry depositers that the Cuban
treasury of s2O00O,O0O in cash would
be transferred to the Royal Bank if

editorial Note.-The Royal Bank
Of Canada is the second largest Can
sdian bank. 1t specializes in Latin
American activity and very often oper-
ates in Latin-American countries in
ways that would, at home, be con-
sidered unsound. While the bank is
not directly under the domination Of
American capital, U. s. interests are
heavily involved in it and the Royal
Bank is tied up, especially in Latin
America, with American banks in
many of its operations. The present
crisis in Cuba is not likely due 10 any
economic weakness Of the bank which
is very powerful. Neither is the
present run due basically to mere
Cuban propaganda. The cause is not
stated in the dispatch. II may be due
to rebellion of the Cuban "Colonos."

PEklNG, April IL General In
chang-Iin, commander Of the First
kuominehun army, has ordered the
arrest of Acting President Tuan Chi
Jul. The Nationalist are in complete
control Of the capital and the govern
ment. 1t is reported Tuan Chi Jul
has sought refuge in the French le-
cation. Former President Tsao Kun,
tho granted his freedom, remains in
the palace where he has been imprison-
ed since his replacement by Tuan Chi
Jul.
The Nationalist troops surrounded
the presidential palace at midnight,
cut the telephone connections. and
nearly had the building isolated when
the president made his escape.
Popular feeling mas been increasing
'ecause of Tuan Chi Jui's RESPONSE

quarters several weeks ago.
His bodyguard, which fired on the
crowd, has since in large part joined
the reorganized Nationalist army.
Tuan Chi Jul represents Japanese in
terests in the exploitation of China.
General WI Pei Flu is reported to
have been invited to come to Picking
and form a government under the
military control of thee Nationalist
army. This report must be taken
with reserve, as he has been one of
the bitterest enemies Of the Kuo Min
Tang, which is the political party dom
mating the nationalist movement. 1t
should be noted that the invitation is
linked with the condition that he ac-
cept the direction of the Nationalist.
1t is not known what Wu's answer will
be, tho rumors of some kind of an al
lance between the Nationalists and
the forces of Wu Pei Flu have been
prevalent for the last week.
WI Pei Flu is an old enemy of Chang
Tso Lin. having been ousted by COM
bination OF the latter and the Sun Vat
Sen group from control of Picking in
1924. Tsao Kun was president of
China during Wu's ascendency. WI
Pei Flu is an agent of Anglo-American

STIFFNESS AND ACHE
GONE In ONE NIGHT
Sportsman is "as good as

Sportsmen have learned simple
way to take out pain and stiffness
when they get lamed up from eX
poSure or over-eXertion.
A Philadelphia sportsman writes
that he caught cold in his back
while out cunning and the next
day found himself so stiff and lame
he could hardly bend.
"I went to work, but had to
come home" he writes. Il ap-
piled Sloan's freely and went to
bed. The next morning I was
as good as new, thanks to the
quick and sure action of Slban's
Liniment." (Name and address
given on request)
1t is amazing what Sloan's does
for any kind of muscular pain. Just
pat it on lightly. No need to rub.
Sloan's alone does the work.
Instantly it sends n healing tide
of fresh, new blood right to the
sore spots. Your muscles timber
up, stop aching and get back their
tone. So clean and pleasant to use,
too. Get a bottle today. All drug
