United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright!.
(Received this day at II a.m., SHANGHAI, March 3.
A grim story of an outrage by Communists, who are now completely in control of Lunehow and surrounding Fwangsi districts, is related by Dr Hugh Rice. He was accompanied by Rev. Stott on the way to Nanking when they met trouble at Cunchow, where tire city is controlled by a Wor levs’ Council. It appears that tne Communists entered the city and burned .the Roman Catholic .Mission and other buildings, and arrested the French Consul named Cadet, who was thrown into prison. It is believed the French Commissioner of Customs and Father O’Kelly were killed while fleeing. Dr Rice and Rev. Stott, together with the missionaries, Misses Lucas and Goudwell, were forced to march two days without food towards the French frontier. Meanwhile Communist escorts were making meals frequently. Finally the* party reached the frontier exhausted. Dr Rice stated the districts passed showed signs of looting, and orgies.
