CHINESE OUTRAGE
BRUTAL BUTCHERY.
Helpless Northerners Decimated
By Nationalists.
OVER 3000 KILLED
(Australian Press Assn.—United Service.)
(Received 11.30 a.m.)
SHANGHAI, September 27,
The city is shocked at the report of the brutal butchery of 3000 surrendered Chihli and Shantung soldiers, by Nationalists en route from Luanchow, where they recently gave in. They were going to Tongshaw for the purposes of disarmament, but by a prearranged plan the trains bearing the defeated Northerners were ambushed bv the Nationalists.
The latter riddled the trains with machine-guns, blowing them to pieces by small cannon.
The entrained soldiers did not have a chance of defence. Reports from other centres state that in the recent fighting the surrendered Northerners were lined up in hundreds and executed. Machine-guns were concealed and fired without warning on the Nationalists.
The barbaric treatment of the defeated enemy has aroused the indignation of all foreigners, and the majority of right thinking Chinese.
