The trains to Tientsin have long been discontinued and mail has been brought up by mo- tor or bicycle courier. The last trip brought just 'a taste of home mail-- only four letters for all N. C. A. S,, and one of them was for me from | Pris. Wasn't I lucky? "This morning, April 15, at the break- fast table, the servants told us that | defeated soldiers from the Kuominchun lines had entered the south gate of the city. I dashed over to Len's to verify the report and was in time to beg to be allowed to accompany him to the tower, for which he was just about to set forth. All the way through the compound and up the interminable stairs we hoped it wasn't true, but ' We are again cut off from the | sea and American mail, and the real- ization that it may be months before | Very Best Bacon (Sliced) 3lbs. $1.25 | Choice Pot Roast Peacock Hams 321c 18¢ and 22¢ Spring Leg of Headquarters for Fresh Dressed Poultry This Week Three Layer Brick MARASCHINO FRUITS Between Two Layers of VANILLA ICE CREAM roducts Corporation Multiple Spray Lawn Sprinkler at the low price of -- $3.75 a set -- 25 times as efficient as the ordinary single spray sprink- ler.

The road to the south, for as far as one could see through field glasses, was dark with approaching carts, soldiers, laden horses and mules. Evidently supplies and wonded and heavy equipment were being sent back while the trenches were still being held by the defendants, for we could see no actual combatants in the long hurry- ing lines. Little activity along other fronts was perceptible. Intermittant rifle fire in the north was much nearer | we thought, from the plainly visible | puffs of smoke along the horizon, and |to the east, we hear the Fengtien | troops have captured the bridge across | that little river on which we relied so [much for safety. We all feel very bad- ly, for we hoped Peking and its en- | virons would remain in Kuominchun | hands. Refugees Pour In "From every direction Chinese peo- ple, men, women, and tiny children, pour into the compound, their pitifully small bundles of possessions hung over their shoulders or clasped in their arms. It is a colorful sight, for they are peasant people, dressed in those love- ly soft blue cottons, their babies in brilliant red and pink outer garments and the women and children in bright cloth shoes. A committee was quick- ly organized to distribute the Chinese in the basements of the houses. Un- fortunately we can shelter only the families of our servants. I suppose even so, that means between one or two hundred. "The ringing of the iron gong outside the school building seemed the most fantastic summons in the world. Big guns by this time were booming loud- Iv to the south and the children stood about talking in excited groups or chasing each other in wild hilarity about the quarter mile. I'm sure the bursting of a shell or the ringing of heavenly bells would have coincided with the general expectations of the hour. The gong was a distant shock. School convened as usual and I met my high school history class, gave them an assignment and sent them off to study hall while I went back to the dormitory. At the close of the hour, as we all poured out of the building on our way to chapel, all seemed very quiet. Dr. Smith spoke to the school, giving them Mrs. Baldwin's account of the rescue of the crew of the Italian steamer "Antinoui." After recess, fir- ing was more constant and every one (Continued on Page 48) FOR DISTINCTIVE PERMANENT WAVING (Negrescow's Pure Steam Process) As Low as $15.00 Also HAIR GOODS For discriminate requirements con- sult Mr. John Negrescou, 30 years on State Street.
