Expressed By Foreign Colony.

(Associated Press)

TIENTSIN, May 8—Fears for the fate of Tlentsin were expressed by the City's foreign colony today as Chinese military forces retreated hastily before the new drive by Jﬂllanese and Manchukuan armies into the maritime area of North China.

Fleeing before a heavy artillery fire and a bombing attack by aerial forces, the Chinese troops retregt. ed as far as Changli, 60 miles south of the Great Wail. Less than 100 lniles northwest OI Tientsin, the main Chinesc troops were bo- ing rallied at Lwanchow.

The new drive, the second gen- eral movement of Japanese armies in the direction of Tientsin within 30 clays, aroused the alarm of the lﬂfse foreign colony whose mem- bers wondered. if the attack would be halted short of the gates of the city, '

Fears also were awakened for the safety of Pelplnll, where the shoot- ins ycsterday of an unidentified man, reputed popularly to be an agent of Japan and Manchukuo, has caused a sensation.

ST. DIINSTANS P l A Y ER S PRESENTDRANA

“The Attorney For the Defence” Presented At Rochford Hall Has Gripping Plot.

A drama of gripping, sustained interim. in which the mysterious, the pathetic and the humorous were ‘skilfully interwoven. and as skilfully interpreted, was presented by the St. Dunstans University players at Rochford Square Hall last evening. The title, "The Attor- ney for the Defense," is one which Creates expectations of a gripping entertainment, and the large aud- icncewas riot disappointed. The performance reflected much credit on Rev. M. Francis, under whose direction the play was staged, and on each of the actors.

The action centres around a feud between two prominent society families, the Carlyles and the Hampdens. Joseph Kanipden, the prosecuting attorney, believes that Judge Carlyle kidnapped his daughter twenty years previous, and ignorant of the fact, he prose- cutes in court his own daughter who appears as Beth Winters. Hampden also accuses Judge Car- lyle of bribery.

POONA, India, May 8.—(A.P.)—- The Govcmment of India released M. K. Gandhi from prison tonight a few hours after he had started the three-week fast physicians bc- lievs will cost his life.

The Mahatma, who has served l6 months in Yeroda jail for his civil disobedience campaign, immediately subordinated that campaign to the battle he is waging for removal of the stigma of India's untouchables. The wizencd little old man, a Messiah of unnumbered Indian mil- lions, announced that for one month civil disobedience was being aban- doried.

He made this announcement a few

hours‘ after he had eaten his last meal of fruit juice. The Mahatmlfs hunger strike is dtrpcfgd not against the British but against his fellow Indians. Its pur- pose ia to put an end to the discrim- ination against the untouchables, tbs lowest caste of the community.

Announcement was mule at the monthly meeting cf the City Coun- cil last evening that one to lack of funds the City would no longer grant: relief to the unemployed. His Worship‘ Mayor Stewart presided at the meeting, at which all coun- cillors and city officialswerc pres- ent.

At the opening of the meeting His Worship informed the unem- ployed present that the city had l decided to give them no further aid. The reason for this action, the Mayor explained, was that there was no money available for such a purpose, as the Bank would give credit for the purpose only of or- dinary running expenses. The mat- ter had been discussed by the Council with the clergymen. The latter were willing to undertake the relief of necessary cases. All those able to take care of themselves must do so.

Following the reading of the minutes the bills were dealt with as usual. p

A communication from a number of electrical contractors was read. The contractors requested the op-

portunity of reviewing and offering suggestions regarding electrical regulations.

Councillor Holman stated that the Light Committee had met with the contractors to discuss the mat- ter. '

It was siiid at the outbreak of war that many reputations would bc broken and. others would be uiadc. This was a shrewd remark, but even the ‘shrewdest observer of events, occupying his mind with the strange reversals of history, would hardly have dared to prophecy that the man whose name was held up to general execration, who was regard- ed as an arch traitor to his country and. his God, who was so detested that there was not a single ship on the whole‘coast of Britain that
