“The Times” Peking correspondent states that details of a mobile Chinese unit’s killing a Baptist missionary, Mr H. G. Wyatt, and Miss Glasby, in North Shansi on May 14, show that he died like a hero. Mr Wyatt, with a party, was travelling by car when a bullet smashed the chauffeur's wrist. Miss Glasby was killed. Mr Wyatt hoisted the chauffeur on his shoulder and ran across a bulletswept road to a ditch. He was shot as he fell in and died. The Chinese apologised, explaining that they fired on the car believing it to be Japanese.
