No Honour Among Thieves

From accounts told by the other released captives, the bandits seem to remain strictly in their own bands, and they do not hesitate to rob members of bands other than their own.

All four ex-captives were looking extremely well, a hot bath and a shave working a miracle in their appearance. Mr. Saphiere had an unfortunate experience yesterday evening, however, when in stepping out of a railway car he slipped off the edge of the raised platform on to the metals. He was badly bruise ed, and was attended by the Red Cross section.

The foreigners still in the hands of the bandits are all well, Mr. Musso continuing steadily to improve.—Reuter.

Peking, June 4, Tt is reported from Tsaochuang that the cnrolmens of the bandits is proceeding. Some of the bandits, however, do not desire to join the army and are accordingly departing, leaving their arms.—Reuter.
