Chinchow, was started when Chinese
fired on them.
Elsewhere fighting progressed

side by side against native troops
still loyal to Gen. Chang. In the
Ransishihan district. 80 miles from
here, 1900 Chinese were repulsed by
japanese railway guards with esti-
mated casualties of so Chinese.
An internecine battle between loyal
troops and an army led by Chang

After exchanging greetings we drove

that Mrs. Judd bore any ill-will to-
ward the girls. She explained that
she moved because the other place
was two miles from the Grunow

new apartment was only two blocks
away. She remarked, laughingly
that Mister Cat her pet, seemed
