BRITISH FLAYED IN CHINESE VIEWS OF WASNSIEN ATTACK Two Reports Equally Denunciatory of Bombardment. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS TSmes Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan . 7.—Here for the. first time to my knowledge, Is the Chinese version of the British bombardment of the Yangtze river port of Wanhsien, about 400 miles upstream from Hankow. It Is important, first, because it sheds considerable light on China's insistent demand for “equality of treatment” at the hands of foreign powers, and, second, because it shows, rather vividly, something of what is behind the drive of the Cantonese, or southern forces northward toward Peking. According to British version, the bombardment of Wanhslbn was due to the seizure by the Chinese General Yang Sen of two British river merchantmen and the death of seven British officers and seamen in an effort to retake them. This was cabled to this country in detail. Here Is the Chinese side, by slow mail from Wanhsien: "To the Friendly People of All Countries: “Out of the many murderous acts committed by British vessels on China’s inland waters, the most outrageous is doubtless what has befallen the people of Wanhsien. "It is only a week ago that the steamship Wanllu, of the Butterfield & Swire Company, at Yunyan, swamped two Chinese junks with 58 officers and soldiers of General ENJOYS HIS FIRST THANKSGIVING DINNERIN YEARS Konjola Ended the Health Troubles of Two in Same Family, Says City Building Contractor. Wherever introduced, this new i Konjola has proven vastly more es- j l’ectlve in thousands of cases of ill- j health than any previously known medicine.

MR. C. B. RAYMOND nurses, public officials and people in j all walks of life. Among the great number who are strongly indorsing this Konjola, probably noncv Is better known that Mr. C. B. Raymond, a building contractor of this city, formerly of 2911 McPherson St., now i living at 1137 Colllege Ave., Indian-i spoils. Mr. Raymond personally gave the following statement to the Konjola Man. who is explaining this surprising medicine to large crowds every day at Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., this city: "Last Thanksgiving was the first time in years that I really enjoyed my dinner,” said Mr. Raymond. "I always had stomach trouble so had that I had come to the place where I thought, nothing would ever help me. It has heen several months since T finished taking Konjola, but not one of rhy troubles came back on me. I really think my stomach is perfect.. The food I eat is giving me nourishment, instead of miseries like it did before. I never have the cramps and bloating spells any more, and the soreness is gone from the pit of my stomach. It. is a positive fact that I could hardly bear to have my clothing touch me before T got Konjola, but now I can thump my stomach with my fist and never have a pain. The past summer and fall is the first in years that I have worked steady without losing a day. “I also want to state that Konjola has benefited my wife as much as it has me. She suffered for years and did everything she could to regain her health. She had a, very nervous, run-down condition, and on Sept. 11, 1926, she fell helpless in the middle of our dining room floor. I had her to take Konjola for two weeks. She was soon up and around, and at the end of a month she said she was feeling better than she ever did in her life. Her appearance certainly shows it, too, and we are both jo grateful to Konjola that this medicine will always have our indorsement. “I will add, that In case any one wants to Interview either Mrs. Raymond Qr myself about the merits of Konjola, they can call at our home *nd we will verify this statement.” . "I - he Konjola Man Is at Hook’s | Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts.. Indianapolis, where he Is s'.ally meeting the local public and Introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola Is sold by every Hook Store In Indianapolis, and by all druggists In the nearby towns throughout this section.—Advertisement.

It. has been done repeatedly ever since the British opium ships forced their entrance into our waters and led to British exaction of the first, of the treaties of oppression, on which alien Imperialism is today bottomed in China. "The British press has been demanding a second punitive expedition for the avenging of the seven British deaths at Wanhsien. There Is a daily cry for blood—more Chinese blood.

"The Kuomintang. in special con gress' assembled, indtefa the British jind their system of privileged in terests and force In China: First and specially for a deliberate and flag rant violation of Convention IX of the second Hague conference, as well as for a shameless act of barbarism and inhumanity, and, secondly, and generally, for being the historical oppressor of the Chines© people and the outstanding barrier to progress and modernization of nationalist China.” Kmeralds are so popular in Englond now that the best specimens are bringing as much as 1,200 pounds a carat.
