FURTHER RE-INFORCEMENTS FOR SHANGHAI,

TWO BRIGADES OF ARTILLERY

LEAVING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

IST FIELD BRIGADE R.A. AND 4TH PACK

BRIGADE R.A.

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN IN CANTON,

POSSIBILITY OF GARRISON BEING STRENGTHENED.

As the cables from the North show, the position along the whole of the Yangtaze is very grave and appears to be growing worse. Shanghai is comparatively safe but the smaller communi- ties are in danger from the mobs which are being incited to riot, Additional forces are therefore required.

The lat (Mechanicalised) Field Brigade R.A., and the 4th Fack Brigade' R.A., have been ordered to Shanghai and will leave here as soon as transports can be arranged for them. Ships are being seat South to fetch them and these two Brigades will probably embark on Wednesday.

The 1st Brigade R.A., which is now stationed at the Rope Factory, Kowloon, consists of Headquarters and two batteries of eighteen pounders. These guas are drawn by Kaigresse lorries.

The 4th Pack Brigade R.A. comprises three batteries of 35 bowitzers. Two batteries are now at the Peninsula Hotel and one in camp at Kwant,

CANTON.

Chinese reports state that everything is quiet on the surface at Cantos, but foreigners are not completely satisfied that the Chinese authorities would be able to control the situation in the face of any popular`demonstration. It is satisfactory to note, therefore, that necessary precautions are being taken on Shameen. Barbed wire has bees placed round the Concession again and there is no doubt the garrison"will be strengthened immediately the need arises. It would be a comparatively simple matter to send a company" of troops from Hong Kong if danger is threatened

Our Chinese correspondent wrote yesterday that the extremists are making a great fuss over the alleged British infringement" of Chinese sovereignty, at Bias Bay. Although the complete facts of the bayal raid were published in the Hong Kong papers, the Reds in Canton are spreading the report that the British massacred more than 1,000 innocent inhabitants."

Amongst the passengers there ace of whom is Mr. Edward Frizer, many prominent people of America, chairman of the directors of the Vacuum Oil Co., who celebrated his 70th birthday shortly before setting out on this tour around the world. Mr. Frizer, who is accompanied by his daughter, was born in Pemsy- vania in 1858. His career should be. a lessor which all American young men should take to heart, He began work at the age of seventeen as an apprentice in a newapaper ofce. He was there until 1580 when he was sent to Rochester as representative of a New York weekly. There he got to know Mr. C. M. Everest who later became the President of the Vacuum Oil Com pany. Mr. Everest thought Mr. Prizer might be useful in the Vacuum Oil Company organisatica and offered him, in 1889, the post of superintendent to newly. created Sales Department.
