THERE WAS a dramatic sequel ear- ly this morning to yesterday's Pootung strike fracas, which may have very wide and serious repercussions.
Mr. R. M. Tinkler, a Briton, who, it is
· alleged, fired at a Japanese officer and threatened others with his revolver, died at 5.30 this morning after having his head split with the butt end of a rifle, and suffering from bayonet stabs in the abdomen.
According to "United Press," Mr. Tinkler died in hospital after an unsuccessful emergency operation.
FIGHT FOR LIFE
An earlier "Reuter" report issued last night from Shanghai stated that Japanese authorities, escorted by a British official, brought Mr. Tinkler across the river at 11 p.m. and rushed him to a waiting ambulance in which he was taken to the General Hospital in the Japanese- occupied Hongkew district in the International Settle- ment.
Two German and two Japanese naval surgeons, helped by two French Franciscan sisters, began an emergency operation, which was still in progress after midnight.
SENTRIES GUARD BODY
Three armed Japanese sentries were posted outside the door of the operating theatre.
Tinkler was not shot, but was suffering from a rifle. butt wound to his head, three stabs in the abdomen, and an injury to his foot.

A VERITABLE army of White Russian refugees, thousands of whom fled to China 'during the Russian Revolution and are still living there, is at present being organised by the Japanese In the areas of China under Japanese control.
It is estimated that the num- ber of White Russians at present living in the occupied areas, or in Settlements and Concessions surrounded by the Japanese, totals approximately 33,000, twenty-five thousand of whom are in Shanghai.
The Japanese began their campaign by starting a "special"volunteer corps of White Russians in Tsingtao. All male Russians between 18 and 55 were invited to carol,
Recruiting did not at first proceed very speedily and the Russians were informed that unless they "volun- teered" It would be "dimeult" for them to continue residing in Tsing- Lao,
A number of Russians disappeared after this warning and to-day it is stated that the "volunteers" in Taing tao are almost 100 per cent. repre- sentative.
The example of this "volunteer" force was quickly followed in other towns under Japanese occupation, similar forces being raised in Hankow and Tientsin.
