WHERE IS CHAN?

Prior to the final debacle, Chan's various divisions fell back on Swatow from their different positions and then fled, It is re- ported that some have left. by improvised troopships with two Northern cruisers acting as escorts. One division is stated to have landed at another place and to be reassembling.

Nobody seems to know where Chan is but the consensus of opin- ion is that he is still with his field headquarters....

The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. R. A. Wadcson, defending, commented at length on points in the evidence, and sub- mitted that no case had been made against his client.

In the witness box the accused denied that he visited the houses before February 11 and described.

He was invited to come upstairs for het water, and there he had a quarrel with one of the occupants. He was still there when the inspector entered and arrested him. He denied that he asked the fumates for money or told them that he was a doctor.
