JAPANESE REPRISAL

HHNDIiEI) CHINESE SHOT. LONDON, May 19. The Hong Kong correspondent of the “Times” says that the Japanese rounded up and shot 100 Chinese as a reprisal ‘for the bomb thrown in the Amoy Bund. The bomb killed seven members of the Japanese patrol. The Shanghai correspondent of the “Times” says that the Japanese report the capture of Chang-chuang, three and a half miles to the southwest of Hsuehow. They also entered Kuhsicn. The air scouts report that dying columns severed the Liuig'hai railway at many points to the westward of Hsuehow. This held up 90 Chinese trains, aggravating the difficulties of evacuation. The Chinese deny the report of the trial of General Lit Snng-jen, who is still commanding the Chinese at Hsuehow.
