the United States flagship pitts
burgh," with McVay aboard and &C
companied by six destroyers, are
speeding here to add to the U. S.
vessels already in China, some hun
dreds of miles from the sea at the
upper Yangtze ports. Three Bri-
fish warships, one cruiser and two
destroyers arrived here this morn
ing, and the airplane carrier
"Hermes" is on the road from Hong
kong, these British ships also addi-
lions to the swarm of war vessels
already in China under orders from
the ''labor" government.
The collapse of the Marking "gov-
ernment," dictatorship of Chang
Kai-shek backed strongly by Amer
lean Imperialism, is certain. Amer
lean consular officials in Marking
itself have ordered all Americans,
including families of the swarm of
American advisers" who have been
feeling the ground shake beneath
them since they advised" the at
tack on the Soviet Union in Man
churia last July, to leave Marking
as "a measure of precaution."
So critical is Markings situation,
that 1000 troops have been ordered
to return to Marking from Canton,
evidently in an effort to hold the
region around Shanghai and Nank-
ing only, in Giangsu and Chekiang
provinces. But this is very doubt
full of accomplishment, as the whole
Yangtze valley is in turmoil and no
one can say what the next day will
bring.
1t should be noted that Markings
usual lies of victories" here and
there, are not only sounding thin,
but that they are issued by c. T.

this gentleman a few days ago, an
nounced he was "resigning," giving
as the reason that he was to blame
for the debacle of imperialist diplo-
mats led by Stimson on the mote"
to the Soviet Government. Evident
ly, Wang's Resignation" was for
publicity purposes, in order to "save
face" for Stimson, who seems to
have accustomed himself to this
Chinese device.
News from Canton show that that
city may be in the hands of the
militarist rebels against Marking
rule at any moment. They have
broken the governments lines and
inside the city a split has developed
among the commanders, the chief
moving his headquarters to an iso-
lated place, and as all expect the
other to sell out any moment,
pontoon bridge is thrown across the
east river to give means for retreat
ing eastwardly if the city falls. The
militarist rebels under both the
Kwangsi clique and Chang Fa-kwei
are within a few miles of the city
and hammering at the weakening
lines.

National Miners Union, whose ma
tional headquarters are here, today
wired sharp protest to Governor
Emmerson, of Illinois, against the
use of the militia to try and break
the Illinois miners strike. The tele-
gram says:
"The National Miners Union, now
leading the fight of the Illinois coal
miners for the six-hour day, higher
wages and the smashing of the cor
rupt Lewis and Fishwick machines,
unequiyocally condemns your ac-
ton in dispatching infantry, cavalry
and machine gun units to the ILL
nois strike zone. This can only be
characterized as an act of open
strike breaking against the Illinois
miners in their bitter struggle
against the employers. 1t is clear
that your action serves only the
purpose of giving direct assistance
to the coal. operators, and is an at
tempt to prevent the spread of the
strike now sweeping throughout the
state.
eve are not surprised at your
action. We do, however, take this
opportunity to point out to the work
ers of Illinois that you have once
more revealed your true function as
guardian of the interests of the en-
ployers. Despite your act, the he
roic struggle of the Illinois miners,
under the leadership of the militant
National Miners Union will spread
throughout the entire state. We are
confident that the unity of the rank
and file miners led by the National
Miners Union will guide the ex-
plotted and betrayed coal miners
to victory"

The. shipment, valued at $500,

Ex-C Convict Editor Lays His
Rearrest To Woman Seemed

CHICAGO, July 2.-". and
then that fearful hand, the police,
issues from the shadow, and sud-
denly tears off my maskI"-Jean
Vatican.
Robert Elliott Burns, escaped
convict who became editor OF a
Chicago magazine, scorned a wo-
man. And now, a modern Jean
Vatican, he's scheduled to go back
to q Georgia chain gang.
Seven years ago q sledge swung
by a fellow prisoner, a giant negro,
struck off the shackles riveted
around Burns ankle and he escap-
ed from the road camp where he
had been sent for his part in a 81
robbery, from which his share was
$1.33. He had drifted down south
after discharge from the army and,
with two chance companions, rob-
bed a grocery.
In the pursuit that followed the
breaking of the shackles he outwit-
ted guards and b~loodhounds, and
reached Chicago penniless. He got
a job in a packing plant at So a
day. Then he stepped up to a $40
a week job figuring beef averages
and rented a room at 6444 Ingie-
side avenue.
That's where / met the woman
who caused all the trouble" he says.
Mrs. Emily Pacheo, Ia years his
senior, became Mrs. Robert Burns.
She had learned of his secret, de-
clares Burns, and threatened to ex-
pose him unless he married her.
Although she is suing for divorce,
Mrs. Burns denies she sought re-
Venge by turning him in"
II still car for him too much"
she says. He told me his history
right after we were married. I've
never told a soul"
His courtship, she says, was ar
dent.
Burns had the IDEA for his real
estate magazine and worked nights
TO get money to start. Soon It was
a going concern and he had won
the confidence of prominent bus
mess men. His income from the
magazine alone was estimated at
$4,000 yearly.
Then he met Lillian Salo, "a. of
Minneapolis, pretty violin student.
They fell in love and Burns left
his wife. Soon after that two
deputies from Georgia walked into
Burns office.
We want you." they said.
Il knew he was married" said
Miss Salo, land we were waiting
for him to get q divorce. I didn't
wait for him."

Of Youngest
Vet Is Aired Again

KANSAS CITY, July 2.-(P)-
The birthdate Of Gilbert Van Zant,
77-year-old Civil war veteran, may
settle history's argument over the
question, Who is the youngest old
Soldier?"
In youthful age he outranks Maj.
Gen. John l.. Glen of Washington
heretofore generally regarded as
the youngest surviving recruit Of
the union army. Mr.. Van Zant
was born December 20, 1851, while
General Clem's birthday was Aug
ust Is the same year.
The Kansas City veteran, who
lacks 10 years of looking his age,
enlisted as a drummer boy in Port
Williams, Ohio, in 1852 before he
was IL years old. General Clem's
service dated from May ], 1863.
For bravery under fire, the 10th
Ohio Volunteer infantry gave
young Van Zalt q mounted gold
and silver drum at Nashville. He
started on Sherman'S march to the
sea, but that experience was side
tracked by his appointment as a
dispatch carrier near Atlanta.
Soldiers called him little girl"
Superior officers liked the lad so
well that an interview with Presi-
dent Johnson was arranged after
the war.
The executive, who marveled at
the lads extreme youth, gave him
a choice between an army COM
mission or the pony he had ridden
to deliver dispatches under fire.
Van Zant took the pony.
His army discharge, issued In
1865, described him as 10 years old
and four feet tall. He does not
greatly exceed that height today.
Il have been asked many times
why I am not larger. MY only
answer is that probably I was
scared out of three years growth
during the war"
