OUTRAGE IN CHINA
TREATMENT OF FRENCH OFFICIALS COMMUNISTS IN CITY 1 nited PA.—By Telegraph— Copyright Reed. 10 a.m. SHANGHAI, Monday. A grim story of an outrage by Communists who are now completely in control of Lung-chow and the surrounding Kwang-si districts, is related by Dr. Hugh Rice. He was accompanied by the Reverend Stott on the way to Nanking, when they met trouble in Lung-chow, where the city is controlled by a workers’ council. It appears that the Communists entered the city, burned the Roman Catholic mission and other buildings, and arrested the French consul named Cadet, who was thrown into prison. It is believed that the French Commissioner of Customs and Father O’Kelly, were killed while fleeing. Dr. Rice and Mr. Stott together with two missionaries, Misses Lucas and Loud well, made a forced march of two days without food toward the French frontier. Meanwhile Communist escorts frequently took their own food. Finally the party reached the frontier exhausted. Dr. Rice stated that the districts passed, showed signs of looting and orgies. Lung-chow is a city and treaty town of 25,000 inhabitants in the province of Kwang-si.
