'Washington, May 21.-Crave fears
for the lives ,of Maj. Roland W. Pinger
and Maj. Roibert A. Allen, U. S., A,'
two of the 14 men still held by Chin-
ese bandits, following attacks made
on the stronghold of :the brigands by
Chinese troops.
One officer and 'five men from th~e
Chinese regular army are said to hav,
been killed in, a battle in Shantung in
which the Chinese sought to free thie
14 foreigners being held captive.
The banidits have threatened that
r further attacks by Chinese troops
will force the slaying of the prisoner:,,
but word said to have come from the
captive men is to the effect that the
prisoners would welcomne interveen-
tion by foreign troops.
Demafnd Explanation
Peking, May 21-(fly A.P.)- Peports
that troops were iiriln on the Shaan-I
tung bandits were received today by
the diplomatic corps, which inunedi-_
ately drafted a now note to the for-
eign~ office asking the Chinese govern-
ment how it reconcileod its promises to
release. the foreign captives and the
events transpiring since that assur-
ance.
As the parliamnent has not acted on.
ratification of the presidential ap-
pointment of Dr. Wellington Koo as
foreign miniter, the foreign~ office'
still is officially without head.
- The diplomatic corps heard the re-
cital of Marcel Oberub, a Frenchman
of Shangbai, whom the bandits reloas-
cd' so that he could present their ulti-
matum to the government.

London, May 21.-A Central News

Manuel Verea, wife of a Mexican mian-

still held by the briganids are living,
under terrible conditions. M'rs. Verea

Washington, May 21.-Further nego-

ment authorities and the bandit lead-
ers in Shantung "are futile" unless
there is foreign representationI on thoe
Chinese governmenit delegation, in the
opinion of American observ'?or~s as re-
ported today to the state department.
The dispatches suggested that Roy
Anderson, an Americain of long resi*

in China, might be chosen to negotiate

" There. must be some law in

1844), the Quaker mathematician

proceeded to discover by weighing
and measuring. He'found that each

of its owni. To explain 'this,, he
evolved his atomic theory -- the.-
atoms of each element are ' al
alike in size and weight; hence
a combination can ;ccr-nly~iJ
definite proportions.
Dalton's theory was pubrlished
in -,$QS. In thatame:y t' ,N'.N

a po litical event -of tremendous
importance. But Joseph left~no
