for the murder of Americans and
destruction of property in Nanking
has been set aside until the fate Of
those still hiding in the city was
known. But it will be taken up in
due course with responsible heads Of
the Cantonese government.
All through the day, President
Coolidge kept closely in touch with
the only official source of news from
Nanking, the naval radio late in the
day, the stock figure of a sergeant
major Tom Dorney, Secretary Will
bur's marine orderly, and himself a
veteran of many clash such as that
at Nanking, carried the first reassur-
ing message from Admiral Hough to
the White House striding cross lots
in his haste
1t was a dramatic story of horror
and heroism that unfo1ded hour by
hour as the suffering radio bridged
the thousands of miles from Nanking
to Washington to keep the home gov
ernment in almost hourly touch with
developments. Daylight brought word
that Cantonese authorities at Nam.
king had declined in insolent lam
guage to comply with the previous
ultimatum to produce foreign sur
vfvors at the water front under es-
cort or take the consequences.
1T may be necessary to fire upon
barracks and on the salient military
points in order to obtain release of
Americans remaining alive ashore, ap-
proXimately 150, Hough said to Will
liams, 1870 miles away at Shanghai
His message told also of indirect
reports that Chang Kai Shek gem
eralissimo of the Cantonese army,
was Fastening in person to Nanking
to restore order and obtain release of
foreigners. Chang had requested de-
lay in action by American and British
Warships to give him an opportunity
for peaceful efforts, but Hough and
his British naval colleagues thought
only of the terrorized foreign women
and children huddled in instant fear
of death in the seething city.
Terse warning had been served on
the Cantonese commanding general to
send an officer of the rank of di-
vision commander aboard the war
| ships before noon "to negotiate and
arrange for proper treatment of
wounded foreigners ashore"

General Pal Tsung- Hsi, Cantonese
