We are glad to be able to contradict an alarming report in the Chinese press to the effect that a brigade of troops (approximately 4,000 me::) had been! sent by Gen. Chi Shich-yuan, Military Governor of Kiangsu, to Quinsan to "maintain local peace and order." Quinsan is the station half way between Saanghai and Soochow, about an hour's trip in the train from Shanghai North.
The report in question, states "passengers coming from and proceeding to Nanking by rail-Way report that many troops are being concentrated at Quinsan. The soldiers board all trains and carry out a very systematic search, much to the inconvenience of the passengers."'
