Foreigners Flee for Their Lives.
Many letters of threatening char
actcr written under the direction OF
the Dare to Die" society have been
received by foreigners. A German
said by those on the Siberia who are
familiar with the incident, Is one OF
the late victims of the fanaticism of

resented foreign form which was
introducing special brand of con
densel milk into South China districts
and was on tour of the towns and

fussilade, shots dropping just short

his duties were upon the water and
not on the land, he left the motor
boat people to their own devices.
