Mob try to tear down Union Jack

to

Shanghai, Saturday-Attempts by 10,000 Chinese students tear down the Union Jack flying above the British Consulate were frustrated to-day by a guard of 500 armed police, supported by armoured cars.

The students dispersed after a deputation was allowed to hand a petition-believed to be in the form of an ultimatum-to the Consul-General.
