Possible Attack from Canton-
ese Naval Craft is Fended
by Proclamation Declaring
Woosung Approach to the
Whangpoo River Closed to
Shipping.
Shanghai, 'Feb. 27. -Shelling
Shanghai from the sea and river ap
preaches to this \gateway city o
China is the next move feared. f
the victorious Cantonese forces.
In order to fend offan attack fron
naval craft under cover
night, the Chinese Defence Commis
Moiler of Shanghai to -night issued
proclamation declaring the Woosu
approach, to the Whan'gpoo Rive
closed to all ships from sunset to
sunrise.
The more was considered a drasti
one and although intended to aid i
the ultimate defence of foreign se
tlements es well as the native ,sec
tions of Shanghai, the order was int
mediately protested by the Consula
body.
Proponents of the order closing
the Woosung entrance, which is the
only, approach from the Yangtse
River, generally recognize• that the
Chinese . commander responsible for
the defence of Shanghai must be per-
mitted to have a free hand in the
awaking of regulations concerning the
movement. of ships. However, it was
pointed out that Shanghai's immense
shipping movements are at the die
bates of the tides, and cannot be in-
terfered with by an absolute order
pee:filting the movement of ships
at night.
It is said that the matter of night
vessel movements will be settled by
an amicable compromise, but mean-
while all vessels violating the order
will be subjected to the most thor-
ough search by Chinese authorities.
Fear of an offshore naval attack
from any Chinese force was unheard
of in recent years. The first sho'ty of
Cantonese naval strength proved a
"dud." A few days ago a gunboat
flying the Cantonese colors started
shelling the Woosung Arsenal, locat-
ed at the outer Anchorage to Shang-
hai. The missiles went wild, however,
and landed e the French settlement.
The gunboat beat a hasty retreat
without checking the efficiency of its
Marksmen,
As a result the French Minister at
Pekin has filed a protest against the
shelling of the concession, reserving.
the right to. collect damages at a
later date.
Marshal Sun Chuanfang, totter-
ing Military Governor of Kiangsu,
and Chang Tsung •chang, Shantung
Province war lord, arrived here this
morning on the same train from

the ground the planes locked together
and they beganto spin and slip
downward.
Spectators saw Dargue and White-
head leap clear with their parachutes
and flutter to safety, but the other
two aviators were caught and fell
with their plane, Benton being
thrown clear a few feet from the
ground. As Major Dargue, com-
mandant of .the flight, and Whitehead
'reached: the ground, 'they tore off

3,800 WOLVES
BAGGED BY HUNTERS
Government Pays Out in 1926
$51,994 for Destruction
of Pests.
Toronto, -While • the wolf pro-
vincially.% probably in no imme-
diate danger of extinction, annual
statistics which have been compiled
by the Ontario Government show that
the packs which range the north coup
try have suffered considerable loss of
membership during the past 12
months. Fish and Game Dept. figures
show that 1,022 timber wolves, 2,690
brush wolves, and 107 pups suet sum-
mary extinction at the hands of their
hutiean pursuers in the year just clos-
ed. The Government recognized the
destruction by paying in bounties a
total oe 351,994.
The figures for the past year for
wolf destructionbecome interesting
in comparison with the figuresfor1932.'
In that year 340 bounty per wolf was
paid by the Government, whereas only
315 is paid et present, with the :con-
dition, however, that the slayer of the
animal keeps the skin and realizes as
high as $20 from its sale. In 1923,
under the larger bounty, 849 timber
wolves, 1.06 brush wolves and 949 pups
were captured, and the Government's
bounty totalled 353,217. With the
change in its wolf policy, accordingly,
the department has registered an in-
crease of almost 100 per cent. in the
enimals : which are slaughtered, and
yet has kept its bounty from record
ing a like increase, . .
Reports to the. Government on the
present wolf season are most'encour-
agitvg. The record so far is almost
100 percent, ahead of last year and
200 per cent. ahead of 1923.
