The Nationalist Foreign Minister under the Nanking Govern- ment, Mr. C. C. Wu, has protested to the British Minister at Peking against the flights of British acroplanes over Canton on May 18 and over Chinese territory at Shanghai.

There is apparently a lull in the fighting, but a special corres- pondent at Hankow describes what he saw redently when a train- load of Southern wounded arrived from the Honan front. The train was overcrowded, and the men were lying in open trucka for the most part, in Sith, unattended, their wounds already septic.
