MISSIONARIES WRITE TO FRIENDS
ABOUT THE ATTACKS BY CHINESE.
The Natives Accused Foreigners of Kidnap-
ing Children In Order to Get Aid
from Them-Copy of Gil culars.

| Newman, Ga, August 2S.--(Spccial.) -Cop-
| les of the proclamations which led to the
recent attacks upon missionaries by the
, Chinese have been received i'm this city by
| Mr. l.. +. Anderson, whose daughter, NJ IS
IDA Anderson, is attached to the Ameri-
can Methodist mission at Foochow.
These are particularly interesting as they
show the attitude of the Chinese officials
and the Chinese towards the mission
! aries
Among the procIamations is one issued by
| Nlceroy Liu declaring that It is the purpose
of the foreign barbarians to kdnap the
| small children to make oil out of them. An
| other such proclamation was issued by
! Chow Taotai chief of police FOR the Hsiens
| of the capital. They show very clearly
! that it was the purpose of the Chinese Of
ficals to stir up feeling among the people
| against the missionaries.
Another interesting fact is disclosed by
these proclamations 1t It that the recent
defeat by the japanese is being used by
| the Chinese as an excuse for stirring up
| anti-foreign feeling. The Chinese argue
that foreigners, meaning the English,
| French and Americans, did nothing what
| ever in their behalf while Japan was usutp-
| ing Chinese territory, and, as one Of the
| prociamat atoms distinctly declares, they e&-
| pect the English. French ana Americans
to drive the Japs back into Their own
| country before they are allowed 10 preach
| the gospel without hindrance TO the Chi-
| nese.
The temper of these is shown best by re-
| producing them in fun The first is labeled,
! Proclamation No. /, and IS as follows:
"A proclamation issued by II Taotai,
| general manager of foreign atatrs; tne
| provincial treasurer, Wang chang Iaotal,
