CHINESE TROUBLE
CANTONESE VICTORY. TWO MISSIONARIES ABDUCTED. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at noon.) SHANGHAI, Dec. 16. Reliable reports from Canton show the Cantonese victory was not exaggerated. The invaders are still retreating belter skelter. A disciplined gang of Communists invaded Tayeh town fifty miles southeast of Hankow and abducted Reverends H. Sandy and E. ; Lively, Methodist Missionaries, holding them for heavy ransom. It is a strange fact that the' town was not looted. The chances of a repetition of the 1927 incidents occurring in Shanghai appear negligible. The latest stock taking of the situation reveals the jpromlpt measures taken by Chinese military authorities prevented Communistic outbreaks attaining serious proportions.
