MISSION WORKERS
ARE BELIEVED SAFE
Procurator Expresses View
Regarding Eight Marooned
in Chinese Town.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HANKOW, China, August 12-The
belief that eight American Passionist
missionaries are safe at Yuanchow, al
though that town was the center of
rebel war, was expressed today by Rev.
Father Arthur Benson, procurator of
the American Passionist Mission.
Father Benson, who is from Pitts
burgh, said, however, he had not been
able to communicate with the mission
q. Yuanchow is in Human Province,
about 400 miles southwest of here.
Those trapped there are Rev. Ed
ward Mccarthy of Boston, Rev. Francis
Flaherty of Cincinnati and Sisters
Genevieve Ryan, Christiana Werth.
Magdaline Ivan, Rosario Goss, Saint
anne Callahan and Mark Mullen. who
were sent to China from Pittsburgh.
U. S. Asks Rescue BY Governor.
1t was learned today that United
States consular authorities have ap-
preached Ho Chine. governor of Human,
with a request that the Americans at
Yuanchow be rescued. The belief pre-
vailed here. however, that the repre-
sentations will have little effect since
the governor is considered virtually
helpless to interfere with the activities
of Gen. Ii Chiao, the provincial mill
tary overload and son-in-law of Gen.

Yuanchow siege is result of the in
tense enmity between Gen. Chen Yao,
a rebel military chieftain who declines
to recognize the authority of provincial
officials, and Gen. Ii.
According to the accepted story here,
Chen, when on presumably friendly
terms with Ii, invited the latter to
visit him, but during feast attempted
to assassinate Ii, who escaped, declar-
ing he would get revenge.
Declined to Leave Town.
In the middle of June, Chen and his
followers established headquarters at
Yanchow after expelling small pro-
vincial force. Ii Immediately gathered
an army and started siege.
Messengers from Shenchow, where
efforts are going on to communicate
with the marooned Americans, said the
missionaries declined to leave the town
although they were aware of the gath
ering war clouds
The messengers said they believed
the siege would be long because of the
intense feeling between opposing chiefs.
Chen is quoted as saying his supplies
will hold out for year.
Unverified reports said Ii has num-
ber of bombing airplanes which sew
eral times have flown over the town,
dropping explosives.
Various Chinese reports say the
bombers partly destroyed the city with
a heavy loss of life, but the consensus
here Is that these reports are exag-
gerated.

and we can sign off short of slam.
After all, my partner has at least three
primary and secondary tricks as well as
four hearts for me, so this hand should

cannot 60 beyond. If over four dia-

than the ace of spades. but would like
to gamble on slam if he has the ace
of spades and K 10 in clubs plus the
diamond filters. If he bids four no
trumps, bid six hearts. If five clubs,
bid six clubs, leaving 1t to him
whether to bio six OR seven hearts. This
weak opening hand provides so many
bidding resources after the jump-raise
that a constructive rebid of four dia-
monds is logical.

from his great height like a bolt from

helpless bird, which indeed is glad to
part with its catch and get away with
its life. It is a wonderful sight, indeed,
to watch the eagle catch the fish as 1t
