Shanghai, May 24. A message from Nanking states that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek claims a major success. It is re- ported that he has driven General Chang Tsung-chang back to to- wards Hsuchowfu, in north-west Kiangau, after capturing Pengpu, in Anhwei, an important junction on the Tientsin-Pukow railway, about 100. miles north-west off Nanking.

The members of the Union are instructed to strictly abide by the regulations of the Union and to take instructions from the central office in Hankow only. They should also unite, to strive for the interest and liberty of seamen.
