Lurid paraphrases of this headline were carried by scores of newspapers above a lead which gave in indirect discourse a proclamation by General Pai Tsung-hsi, the Nationalist commander in immediate control of Shanghai.

Later a Japanese officer, ostentatiously without arms...
Striking Development: 1) seizure of the $2,000,000 British cigaret factory at Hankow, last week, by the Chinese workers, egged on by the Nationalists, who announced that the factory will henceforth be run on Communist lines; 2) announcement by the Provost of Johns Hopkins University, Charles K. Edmunds, to Shanghai reporters that during a recent visit to Canton he formally relinquished control of the historic Canton Christian College to the Nationalists. "I personally welcome the transfer," said Mr. Edmunds. "The Chinese attitude is wholesome, and the Nationalist movement, at any rate in Canton, [where it originated] is promising...
