Kovements of Mrs. van Buren, the widow of Major von Pappenheim and

129 German sailors to and from Shanghai.

Sikhs returning to India from Shanghai and extract from Loyal

Gazette, Lahore, re revolutionary plot in which Shanghai Indians were concerned.

The passengers by the P.M. 88. "Korea", which passed through Nagasaki

on the 31st ultimo from Shanghai for San Francisco, included Mrs. Mayer-Waldeck, wife of the German Governor-General of Tsingtau, and her three children, Kra. Pappenheim, widow of the German military attache who was murdered in Mongolia recently, and fifteen other Germans in the first class, and fifty five in the intermediate class. The majority are medical officers and attendants who were at Tsingtau during the siege but were released by the Japanese authorities. All are going to San Francisco and were not allowed to land at any port in Japan. There was a large exodus of Germans from Tientsin on the 31st

ultimo, the Tsinpu express being quite full of them.

Among those who left were members of Herr 0.K.Wille's band, who, it is reported, acted as hed Cross men during the Tsingtau siege.

The Shanghai Mercury, a well-informed paper, states that they are

credibly informed that von Pappenheim was not murdered in Mongolia but travelled from Shanghai on board the same steamer ("Korea") as his supposed widow, under a false name.

According to Japanese papers Japanese troops stationed at Tsinan

and South Manchuria were to be withdraw by the 9th June.

June, 1915.
