NANKING, August 13.-Fears that
Marking, seat of the Nationalist gov
eminent, would fall into the hands of
Communist bands arose today with re-
ports from the countryside saying al
legged Reds in peasant garb and armed
with rifles had appeared in large num-
bers 20 miles away. Marking was vir-
tually, defenSeless because few soldiers
remained here.
Lack of adequate defense forces here
resulted in uneasiness as it was believed
the city would be easy prey for the
Reds If the yattacked. The presence Of
Communists was reported in several
nearby towns.
Surrounded by Wall.
Marking, capital Of China under
seven dynasties before being chosen as
the seat of the Nationalist government
has a population exceeding 100000. 1t
is surrounded by the 80 miles Of walls,
the longest of any city walls in China.
For nearly 500 years It flourished as
the seat Of the famous Ming dynasty,
under which China made great cultural
steps.
In March, 1927, all foreigners were
drived out of Marking by anti-foreign
demonstrators allegedly working at the
behest of Communists. The National
list government assumed responsibility
for the incident and made settlements
with the American, British. japanese,
French and IGalicn governments.
The incident was featured by the act
of an American gunboat, which laid
down a barrage of gunfire on Socony
Hill, property of the Stanard Oil Co.
of New York, in order to prevent the
demonstrators from reaching foreigners
who had taken refuge there.
