Riots: per cent of the window ihe were smashed, weighted and thrust down a well, Food is then put into various Chinese pots fitting one into the other, and let down into the depth of the tube, to be hauled up when wanted, I find it works admirably and pass the idea on for what worth to upcountry dwellers.
The boycott ts having its effect here. It is no longer possible to buy English tinned milk, and the last of the white sugar is coming!

Tam told that two boat loads of "Asiatic" oil reached Hacmer Inst week, but the students pre vented it being landed. A quanti of this same company's oil got as far as Taichow city. Here it was landed, but only on the understanding that it should not be sold.
The students hav started parading the streets again, urging people, not to buy British and Japanese goods, and distributing literature to that effect. Otherwise all is peaceful.
