The above map presents a nutshell history of events that led to the

present crisis in Shanghai, which threatens international peace. The blowing up of the railroad tracks of the Japanese-owned youth Manchuria Railway, north of Mukden, started the fracas. Japanese placed the blame on Chine e and occupied Mukden as a reprisal. Gradual occupation of the entire province of Manchuria followed, the Chinese putting up no resistance, but appealing to League of Nations and boycotting Japanese trade. It was to force the lifting of the boycott and the suppression of anti-Japanese societies that Japan attempted

the occupation of Shanghai.

"For tli- past few years,*' says Mr- K--lly, "I have been in a generally rundown condition and suffered from stomach gus and kidney trouble- I had no api >-tite and what little I did eat did not agree with me- 1 didn't get much re-t at night because of my kidney.-. "I decided to try the Hoyt’s Compound. I want to say that 1 am filing better than 1 have in years. T am improved In every wap. I eat better, leep better and feel better in general. Hoyt' has done wonders for me." How car. you doubt when your own ; friends and neighbors know the Ho. t’s Compound and are praising it I to the ski* - ?

Here Is > the Young Allen Court Memorial Church, m the international settlement at Shanghai, which was struck by bombs dropped by Japano e plai* during the fighting in the Chine.;e city. The planes were operating against Chapei, the Chine e quarter of the city, after the attempted occupation by Jap treopa had met with unexpected resistance. Japan-

c :r police in the settlement declared that the bomb fragment.- picked up near the scene of the mission bo->ing were those of Chinese artillery shells. Prot< ■ by U. S. Consul General Edwin S.

Not until then would they feel sate.

"He's not here for nothing, that's certain—and there's a car outside the road that pretends to have broken down. I thought nothing of it till I saw Haste. It means they’ve got the from guarded—and pretty certainly the side gates as well!” Sant’s big, round face was like gray chalk. “Then this spells the end ” he broke out with a gulp. Martell, still seemingly as cool as ever in face of this unexpected danger. interrupted him impatiently. "Throwing up the sponge altoady?” There was a sneer in the tasp of his voice: “Pull yourself together, man! They’re waiting for that door to be opened; until it's opened whatever they may tuipett they have no evidence against us— what evidence can they have? Evidence in plenty behind that door, yes—but that door mustn't be opened I We arranged it before, w hen i*.'t meddlesome fool, Wynter, looked like nuking things awkward.

“But—but ; :i i an t do that, n cried Sant, recoiling, “not when i are men working theic! To that wall crashing would u n most certain diath to them ” "Would you ratl'T c the !i..ngman's rope ronn I all om necks?" broke in Martell. "Yo i sentimental fool, but for you Wynter, that night he came prying at Monksilver— damned bulldog Englishman that he is—wouldn’t have left the pla u alive to tell talcs about Cray ke or to bring the police heie to Beggar’s Court tonightl It was you who insisted we should spare his life—and see what those scruples of yours have cl-me for usl And. not content with that,

you'd interftie again!"

The sudden, furious outburst had stripped away the usual suav ity from

Martell's voice.

I must be, lor whom hanging’s too good—but thank Cod, tonight should see the beginning of the end for him and his villainies!” he broke out with

Inspector flaste nodded grimly.

"Yes, the rope’s waiting for him, and he won't cs*ape it this time. I’ve got the grounds watched, even the boathouse watched. There’s not one chance in ten that Martell will slip out of that net.” "I wonder how far Mrs. Martin was in her husband’s ecrets?” saiJ

“There's only one way of keeping them on this side of that underground door,” he went on, 'Tong enough to give us breathing space in which to make our getaway, for it’s

Further concealment was jut ot the question now. Two shrill blast* on a police whistle cut through the night—Ha te’s signal to the men posted outside in the lane—as the three dashed out of cover, to race in the direction ot that queer star-

tling cry.

Martell’s bint had fallen on fruitful soil. A mad recklessness seemed to possess Frome. To prevent that underground door being ypened 'cemcd to him the one thing that mattered supremely now. He was ready to snatch at any desperate alternative. And there was not a second to lose when at any moment the police might appear on the scene. As to the fate of the men working under the doomed wait, Frome. full ot that desperate purpose, was as callous as a gang gunman, reckless of any consequences if only he could save his own neck. Once the way to that door was clear and the secret behind it laid bare to the police ... the thought of that turned his blood to water. More than his liberty, his very life, would be in danger . .. Swiftly Frome stole through the darkness across the grounds, seemingly utterly deserted. He crept up to the crumbling outer wall of the ruins. From the other side came the sounds of the men busy with windlass and crowbar. No other sound, the coast clear. He had brought with him all that was necessary for carrying out that sinister purpose; those means of destruction had long been kept in readiness against some such emergency. k-K oWi i, . .(.J

Following a conference held by President Hoover with the Cabinet and Army and Navy child'.; to consider the request of Consul-General Edwin S ' for further protection for American citizens in Shanghai, the entire A nlc fleet at Manila, P. I., was rushed to the storm center. In addition, the Thirty-first Regiment of the regular U. S. Army, under the command of Colonel Lorenzo Gasser (inset), and 600 additional marines have been ordered to the war zone to protect American lives and property. Photo shows the Army Transport Chaumont, loaded with troops. A scene like this is even now being duplicated at Manila as troops are rushed to Shanghai. The Thirty-fiict Reg-ment is composed largely of World War veterans.
