No Part in Marking Affair

No Part in Marking Affair
SHANGHAI, March 27.-Reliable
reports Of the events leading up to
the massacre of about two thousand
Chinese in Marking by American and
British war ships have reached here.
The ATTACK" on the foreigners was
not by the Nationalist troops, but by
the remnants of the Shantungese ar
my. The Nationalist troops, by &C.
cnpying Marking harbor, cut off the
Shantungese and prevented their es-
cape across the Yangtze. The foreign
ers, mostly French and British, had
gathered on Socony Hill, about two
hundred kilometers to the east of the
harbor. Surrounding them were the
Shantung troops, who were in turn
surrounded by the Nationalist.
Shantungese Open Fire
Panic-stricken, the Shantungese be-
gan shooting on all sides. Stray bull
let's, falling on the hill, killed an
Englishman and wounded the British
consul. Hearing this, the Anglo
American warships opened fire with
their main six inch batteries and
landed marines.
Large numbers of Chinese non-com-
batants who packed the streets of
Marking were killed by the rain of
shot and shell from the warships in
the harbor. Sections of the city were
set afire-but the performance is re-
garded as quite noble in the foreign
settlement here because a few score
Of foreigners were safely placed on
the American and British ships in the
harbor, where the Nationalists were
trying to place them all along.
Shanghai Quiet
Despite the anti-foreign sentiment
that has followed in the wake of the
Marking massacre, the Nationalist
troops and the recently created Peo-
pies Assembly have succeeded in es-
tablishing order.
Most workers have gone back to
their jobs in compliance with the pro-
clamation of the General Union, ter
minating the strike. Unless the
Municipal Council, re-employs union
members in strategic positions, such
as the electric power house, however,
the union threatens to call another
general strike.
NatiOnalists Save Americans.
The humanity of poorly paid, often
abused Chinese servants and the aid
of Chinese householders was perhaps
the greatest factor in saving many
American lives in the Marking
tragedy, according to stories reach
ing here tonight from refugees aboard
the warship Preston, which arrived
here today from Marking
When the northern regiments fin

Hid In Chinese Homes.
According to the stories, many
Americans hid in Chinese homes and
the Chinese brought Nationalist Of
ficfs to escort the Americans past
the battle lines.
Students of the Marking university
repeatedly and heroically braved gun
fire to procure escorts for teachers.
Many Americans declare that their
nationality saved them from more
brutal treatment than that melted out
to others, by the broken forces of the
