On landing, the covering parties had been sent to surround the vil- lages to be dealt with.

During the operations the neigh- bouring hillocks were crowded with Chineze watching what was going on, No opposition was offered:

LABOUR PICKETS KILLED. Southerners Taking Action. Nationalist troops, controlled by the Moderate general, Gen. Fel Chiang-hai, are already disarming the labour pickets in Shanghai, az- cording to a Chinese telegram re- ceived here this morning.

When troops were sent to disarm the pickets at the Railway Station yesterday, resistance was offered and sniping went on for over half an hour before the pickets surron- dered. Eight pickets were killed and seven wounded.

Although it is admitted on all hands that the labour agitators had a great deal to do with the capture of Shanghai, the Nationalist leaders, who are followers of Marahal Chiang Kai-shek's party, are taking stern measures to sup- press any further activity.

The Shanghul Nationalists claim to have captured Nanking on March 21st with bloodshed. (A Naval message to-day shows that to be untrue},

The Boutherners also claim to havo captured the Honan cities, Kuifeng and Chengehow. . It is stated that General Yu Cheng, the Fengtien leader, has been killed in action.

PRISONERS OF WAR.

Over 2,000 in Canton. About 2,500 oflicers and soldiers of Sun Chuan-fang's Army, recent- ly take prisoner in the Chekiang campaign by Nationalist troops, have been sent from Ningpo to Canton, Several hundreds Of these men are now on board a Chinn Merchants boat, the s.. Yu-sing, which arrived recently at Canton and is anchoring in the river.

The men will be lodged in cer- tain buildings at Military' head- quarters set aside for them tem- porarily. They will be sent to the Central Military and Political Acadamy at Whampoa for six months' training. After their course of training they will be drafted into the National Army.

Sanor members of the Adminis tration have how told the "Com munist Idlljoys" that "Russia Is bored," and that the boredom of the masses is bad for their morals, and has led to hooliganism.

It has led sometimes, they point out, to the overthrow of govern-

ments.

Comrade Tomski, member of the "Political Bureau" and grand master of the trade unions, an nounced a few days ago that wor- kers' clubs must be "brightened," and that dancing therein will be permitted shortly.

The wind was from the sea to the shore and the smoke from the burning villages went up to the sky and must have conveyed its lesson for miles around.

One of the objects of the expedi- tion, also, was to recover, if pos sible, the five Chinese passengers who had been seized for ransom from the Seang Bec, and from a statement made by the only Chin- ese questioned during the expedi- tion it was apparent that these five were somewhere in the vicinity.

No Co-operation.

Many attempts have been made by the Hongkong Government to secure the co-operation of the Canton authorities in an expedi- tion of this charneter and, al- though the latter have readily pro- fessed their willingness to render such co-operation, they have, so far, made no attempt whatever in this direction.
