Toxic, Oct. 12.-Copies of circular,
issued in North China by body OF
Chinese calling itself the Popular As
ISOLATION of the Three Eastern Prov.
inces have been received in Japan after
having been spread broadcast among
Chinese of the lower classes. The cir
culars contain infiammatory statements
against the Japanese. They bear upon
what Is called the stweakness Of poor
China and the Insulting aggression
Of JAPAN
Assertions are made that Japan has
devastated the arabic lands Of North
China and has enslaved laborers along
the line OF the Antupg Mukden railroad,
that Japanese officials have beaten the
men, insulted the women and terrorized
the people.
The circulars point out that the weak.
mesa Of China in military sense
makes IL impossible for her to resent
this treatment, except by boycott, and
call upon the people OF China generally
TO refuse all dealings With the Japanese
All students and persons who value
freedom are called upon to propagate
the doctrines and join in adopting the
programmes OF the association. Failing
in this, they are threatened with VIC
'encc and even dcata.
The document concludes with the re-
quest that Chinese vehicles, vessels and
railroads refuse to carry Japanese
goods. An endless chain Is sought on
the request that patriotic citizens into
whose hands tho circulars may fall shall
have them reprinted and scattered
broadcast, until Japan Is completely
shut out from all commercial communi.
cation with China.
Those circulars have created some.
thing Of a sensation in Japan. Effort
Is being made to prevent the spreading
Of their contents among Japanese Of the
ignorant class because the danger Of
arousing feeling at this time IL reeog.
