event it is found desirable to organize
"a trust company le gislatlon will be sought
at the coming legislature TO provide for

Prepare TO Defend Shanghai,

Shanghai, Jan. 24-Indications that the
foreign powers have cons dered the pos,
sibIity of attacks against the foreign
settlements in Shanghai were increased
today with the sailing of destroyerS from
Japan and the departure of three com
panies of the British Punjabi troops to
Shanghai from Hongkong. A statement
from Hongkong said the Punjabis were
departing as the commencement of the
movement to supply the British quota for
the defense OF Shanghai in accordance
with an agreement with France, Japan
and the United States, revealing the fact
that the foreign powers have even for
mulated a quota agreement for defend
ing the Shanghai foreign settlements.

FOochow, Jan. IL. The rising tide of
%nationalism in China reached a new
stage of violence here last night when
a number of British and United States
women and two ministers were beaten
by mobs, several of the victims later
being dragged through the streets by
their tormentors. The UPRISING was the
worst anti foreign demonstration in the
history of FoochOW. Churches, schools,
hospitals ana foreign residences were
ransacked. The riot was precipitated
by Northern soldiers incorporated into
the C%antones Army. All the Roman
Catholic Churches and schools in the
city were attacked. Other institutions
plundered included the Anglican and
Methodist hospital, the city branch Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
the Anglican Girls School and Boys
Blind School. All the missionaries are
safe. FoochOw is about 80 miles inland

Christian feeling has been spreading for
some time.

from the confinement of the room
for just q little while.
1t was mid-afternoon. She did
not stay very long. When she
came back, she noticed that the

about to enter when she saw him

Mabel Farrington's lower lip
was quivering. Her fingers moved

She put the hot water bag at

the doctor had prescribed. She
wondered why she was not tired.
1t was as if an unnatural strength
had come to her. Sleep, food
nothing mattered. She could go

Jerry.
That afternoon he slept longer,
but in the night he was restless,

up to wonder where she was,

Claire had wronged no one.
Nor had she brought this tragic

her? Why should she be cuffed
to save them? Because she was
defenseless and could not hit
