50,000 Nanking Troops Taken,
Peking, May 28. A smashing Kuominchun victory against the Nanking forces is claimed by the Shansi-Kuomin chun military headquarters here, who claim that, following re
successful peated Kuominchun counter-attacks, an overwhelming number of Nationalist prisoners has arrived at Chengehow, where the Kuominchun Commanders' can- no find accommodation for them. Therefore, orders have been given by the Kueminchun leaders to form concentration camps at Hein Chien and Changteh for the ac- commodation of the prisoners. The lowest estimate is that more than fifty thousand Nationalist soldiers have surrendered.
The Shansi Military Headquar- ters also claim that the Nanking forces are in full retreat along the Peking-Hankow Railway while the vernacular papers state that the Shansi troops have crossed the Yellow River, to the north of Tsinanfu, and are approaching the latter city-Reuter-

Lord Reading said what was new and serious about the present disturbances was the evidence that an organisation of civil dis- obedience had been set up. Civil disobedience could not be tolerated and the Government must put forth all the weapons at its com mand to break it.

Earl Russell, Under-Secretary for India, having surveyed the situation in various centres, said there was no question of the loyalty of the Indian Army and he paid a tribute to the work of the Indian Police who frequently were pelted by brick-bats, insulted
