INVOLVED IN a sensational stabbing affray during a drunken bout in Shanghai, two members of the U.S. Marine Corps were last night taken into custody by the Police of the International Settlement, and face serious charges of causing grievous bodily harm to two Chinese.
There is a grave possibility that the affair will take a more serious turn. Both victims of the attack are in a dangerous condition.
