White Casualties

Yellow men made no mass attack on whites in China last week, but here and there yellow fingers pulled triggers and grasped bludgeons wherewith to drub white flesh:

P: In Shanghai a U. S. consulting engineer, W. H. Greenwood, 66, was set upon in the Chinese city by coolies who thought it good sport to flail his posteriors, raise welts upon his face, and knock out several of his teeth. When they released Mr. Greenwood, he was able to stagger into the refuge of the international city. P: Foreign shipping on the Yangtze River was repeatedly potshot by irresponsible Chinese artillery on shore, last week, causing the U. S. S. Preble and Cincinnati to return this fire several times with four-inch and six-inch guns. When similarly attacked, the British H. M. S. Mantis and Wolsey went into action with machine guns.

P: Onetime Philadelphia Presbyterian deaconess, Miss Mary I. Craig, was captured by bandits, last week, in Yunnan with the Rev. and Mrs. Morris Schlicter, their three-year-old daughter and small son, of Toronto, Canada. The bandits, enraged to discover their captives were almost without funds, shot and knifed Mr. Schlicter and his daughter on the spot, then vanished with their other captives into the remote interior.
