BANDITS' PRISONERS
-By Teleg"aph — Ooi'vrlght;.
Shanghai, Oct. 2. A Mukden report states that Mrs. M. Pawley and Mr. Corkran, who were recently captured by bandits, may be rescued within a week aRve. The Japanese authorities believe in the proverb "set a thief to catch a thief" and are utilising former Chinese bandits to negotiate with the captors. They now believe it may be possible to secure their release without any ransom, or at least only a small sum. Failing this, the Japanese have formulated an elaborate plan to rescue the Britons without endangering their lives.
