naped more than 100 persons, hold
 ing them for ransom Ordinarily
 a band of captives of this size
 loses one or two of it's members en route to the outlaws lair, the escaped persons giving clues to tlie route and probable whereabouts oi the marauders
 But police and military authori- ties reported that no trace could be found of the Woochung raiders and inquiry disclosed the reason. Survivors of the affair recounted that each woman bandit appeared with sling on her back and after making good use of her club, pistol and other weapons, departed with trussed-up prisoner in the sling, the captives being carried in much the same manner that babies are packed about by Chinese mothers. None of the prisoners taken in this raid returned to give a clue as to the direction in which the bandits had fled But word was sent back to the village that the price for release of all the cap tives was S30,000 gold Relatives of the victims, although knowing that failure to pay meant the almost certain execution of the prisoners, could only say that this was more money than the entire village could scrape together in a year. t
 The force that turned the wom-l en of this particular band tol brigandage was the same that has prompted many other lawabiding and peace loving Chinese to take up lives of crime Civil wars, fam inc, collapse of the country's cur rency and other economic factors have driven thousands of men and women to seek living where they could find it and from whoever happened to have anything worth taking.
 The women in the Woochung raid came from the silk district of Shuntak. A few years ago this section grossed about $50,oo0,000 a year from it's principal industry. Now only a small fraction of that amount can be sold and thousands of silk workers, including many1 women, have found piracy or ban ditry their only hope of keeping body and soul together.

ASKS BOMB PROBE
Explosion Iniuring One al
Chinese Medical College
Brings Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A demand upon Chinese authorities
by the American legation at Peiping for
complete investigation of bomb ex-
plosion in the Peiping Union Medical
College offices was relayed today to the
State Department.
The eXplo sion occurred Wednesday
and seriously injured a Chinese clerk
employed by the college, which is sup
ported by the Rockefeller Foundation.
The State Department was informed
two bombs were contained in suit case
left in the hospital waiting room two
days previously AS the case was opened
to determine its ownership, the legation
said, one bomb went off, but the sec
ond failed to explode. Another I'M
exploded bomb was found in door
way.
The legation reported it believed the
bombing was not directed against any
individual. but was intended as a
demonstration against the institution. .
A State Department explanation
said:
There has recently been much criti-
cism some of it in the Chinese press,
of the hospital for such well known
practices as TRANSMISSION of blood and
autopsies which are believed by the
masses to be in the nature of sorcery,
and this criticism may have been the
means of provoking the bomb outrage
on the part of some ignorant indi-
vidual."
