Nahonaists Evidently Hope to Capture City Before British Can Rush in Their 10000 Troops.
U. S. Consulate Preparing Ravens of Refuge for Americans Should Emer- gency Arise.

Shanghai, Jan. 26 R-Heavy concentration of Cantonese (na- tionalis) government troops which IS reported on the Chekiang province front has caused apprehension in Shanghai.
 Nationalists interpret the concen- tration as part of 8 supreme effort to be made by the Cantonese to capture Shanghai before the ma jority of the British expeditionary force of 10000 army and navy men arrives at the end of February.
 It Is also feared that the landing CT Punjabi troops tomorrow from Hong Kong will provide the match that will light a new anti-foreign, especially anti British. conflagra- tion in the provinces held by the nationalists, which included about half of all China.
 In view of this danger and the threat that the nationalists will over-run Chekiang and Kiangsu provinces, in the latter of which Shanghai is situated, the possible necessity of evacuating American women and children from these provinces is under careful consed- eration.
 Marshal Sun Chaun-Fang, ruler of Chekiang, Anhwei and Kiangsu provinces, is concentrating his troops to resist the Cantonese concentra- tion in the region of Hangchow, northern Chekiang. Sun is denud- ing neighboring towns of troops for this.

British Preparations.

London, Jan. 26 P-British land and naval forces are converging on China as demonstration of readi- ness to protect British life and prop orty should they be placed in jeop- ardy through belligerent acts by the Chinese.
 When the fighting ships ordered to proceed to Chinese waters from the various naval bases of the Brit ish Isles, the East Indies and the Mediterranean, join the warships al- ready on the scene there will be as- sembled the most impressive flotilla of fighting units since the armistice ended the World War in 1918.
 Estimates of the total number of effectives which will then be ready for eventualities. both on land and sea, place them at between 19,00G and 21,000. The land forces will be under command of Major General John Duncan, who had notable service in the world war. He left for the Far East yesterday aboard the transport Megantic just as 1 ,00O marines were leaving Portsmouth for Shanghai. Before the end of the work it is expected that more than 11,000 infantry men will be en route to China.
 It is thought likely that orders also will be given to a number of nurses, some of them women rom the military hospitals, to be prepar- ed to go on with the infantry bri- gades, either on the same or other transports. The hospital ship Maine is being refitted at Malta and soon

 Lipski, according to Mir Green stein, fired blank cartridge pistol while sitting in the theater. The pistol and cartridge were on display before Judge Hungerford. Lipski, in his own defense, said he felt the pistol under him as he took his seat and when he removed it, it diss charged under his touch, as his fin- ger came in contact with the trigger.
 Judge Hungerford imposed a sen- tence of five days in jail. remarking that Lipski had no business having the pistol, and it was fortunate there were no serious results from the incident,

 Speaking of laboratory procedure, Dr. Reeks said: These advantages are enjoyed by the well-to-do at no particular financial stress and by the poor at practically no expense but the man with the average income whose pride forbids him taking ad- vantage of free service bears a fi- nancial burden which he usually shoulders for many months follow ing his discharge from the hospital. And tue end is not yet. for hospitals must look forward to maintaining further scientific equipment and per sonnel to meet the demands as medi- cine advances.
 Continuing his discussion of this subject, Dr. Reeks spoke of the fact that no charge is made for many diagnostic aids. adding: T deem this matter worthy of the earnest thought of the public and board of directors for if the hospital is to adhere to this policy of maintaining expensive laboratories at no charge to the patient then further endow- ment will be required to enable 1t to do so; and the board of directors
