sUFFFR GREAT Loss.
By T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

THE massacre" of Americans in
i Marking has dwindled down to
one preacher and it appears that he
was killed by one of band of north
ern troops. In fact the Nationalist
commander Chang Kai-Shek states
officially that the massacre" which
was seized upon as an excuse for
bombarding the city was precipitated
by fleeing soldiers Of Chang Tso-Lin,
the underground ally of British and
American Imperialism. None of the
capitalist papers that featured the
reported massacre with glazing head
lines have since admitted that the
story on which the headlines were
based was a fake dispatch manufac-
tured out of the whole cloth with the
object of inflaming the minds of the
people in Great Britain and the United
States against the Chinese revolution.
a LREADY this damnable propa-
n ganda is having its effect. The
newspapers and the moving picture
houses are on a war footing. Heroes"
are springing up like mushrooms in
the newspapers and the morons at
the movies applaud pictures Of inn
peri. ist troops landing in China. The
orchestras put more pep than usual
into the American marching tunes
and one can feel that every potential
member Of the xxx, the Knights
of Columbus and the American Legion
in the theatre is ready to cut a
throat in the name of God and coun-
try.
THE number Of Chinese slaugh-
L tered in Marking by the uncalled
for bombardment of the city by
American and British warships is not
known but the loss Of life must be
appalling. Imagine warships sta
toned in the Hudson River dropping
explosive shells on Broadway between
seven and eight o'clock in the even
ing and you will have some idea of
the dreadful havoc wrought by the
ships that shelled the narrow, tenn
ing streets Of Marking. This act of
unparalleled barbarism and wanton
savagery is certain to drive the hun
dreds of millions of Chinese to a
f,yenzy of hatred against the British
ana American imperialists.
NJ
THE british press hail the slaugh-
ter i'm which their cousins" par
t;cipated las evidence that "the two
great Eng tish-speaking peoples" are
ready to stand shoulder to shoulder
against thet Chinese as they did in
Se17 againstN the Germans. There is
= doubt that Wall Street and Thread
,eedle Street, are ready to deluge the
orient in tn e blood of defenseless
neoples rather than surrender the
right to sell them opium and extract
big profits OUT Of their bodies. And
while the Lett Wing Of the British
trade union movement is protesting
against the murder policy in China
} there is not peep Of protest from
the officialdom of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. On the contrary the
Baptist "Gantry,' William Green is
busy counting the bloody-handed Ker-
rnsky and making war on the pro-
ressive elements in the trade unions.

to all schools. The Bisbee school
failed to enter this meet which might
have altered the outcome as Hargis,
star athlete of the Disbee school,
would have placed in several events.

for victory when Wager threw tie

Cummins for his final throw Cum
minis had second place cinched until
Wager's last heave. Nogales placed
two boys in the finals IN the discus
In the former southern track

ran their total to ten runs, adding
four runs during the rest Of the game
while the Yanks slowly gained Oil

chance to do some receiving in the
Sunday game against the soldiers.
The game today between the AL
Stars and Yanks will start at $50

Annual | ournament

SEABRIGHT, N. j., Aug. 4 (P)-The
cannon ball strokes of Bill Tilden and
the bullet drives of Frank T. Hunter
today carried the pair to the final
round Of the mems singles in the an
nual lawn tennis tournament here.
Still more formidable when paired
together, the two also gained the final
round in doubles and seemed destined
to add the coveted Seabright tandem
bowl to the doubles championship of
England which they won in their tour
Of Europe earlier this summer.
In the singles final today, Tilden did
not need to extend himself to defeat
George Lott, of Chicago, but Hunter
caught a tartar in Fritz Mecur of
Bethlehem, Pa. Tilden won in straight
sets at 6-2, Ga; to remove the stain
of a defeat by Lott in Florida early
in the spring, but Hunter was carried
to deuce and needed all his fore-hand
drive power to win by 7-5, So, 6-2.
Later Tilden and Hunter won their

doubles players, and Charles S. Gar
