One of the soldiers underwent a critical operation at 3 a.m., but medical men would not disclose what it was.

These two wounded are in the International Recreation Club, Bubbling Well Road, which has been converted into a British military hospital.

The entry of Nantao may not only involve the destruction of valuable. British.properties, wharves. and warehouses, but would render the Bund unsafe.

Similarly, the western districtĮ fighting, which is causing Chinese and foreigners in that area to move Into the heart of the Settlement, threatens the destruction of numerous private homes of hundreds of Britons 1. and Americans,
