The Rev. H, S. Fauske, a Norwegian.
member Of the Lutheran Brethren
mission, speaks as follows Of his ex-
pertenCes:
The robbers broke into our mis-
sion compound early on the morning
and satins and had silk girdIes hang
ing almost to the ground. Each car
ried a rifle and revolver. About five or
six men pointed their rifles at myself
n the Rev. George Holm, an Ameri-
cam, and demanded silver money, our
other valuables, and that we give them
u guns or revolvers. Mr.. Holm had
no weapons and I had only one revol-
yer, which | gave up.
Then they took Mr.. Holm captive
and went away with him. Later If
teen or twenty more bandits appeared,
demanding silver, and, because we did
not have any,, took me prisoner. They
demanded twenty rifles of me, but Of
course I had none. Then they insisted
that I manufacture rifles, as I was a
foreigner, and therefore able to do so.
"On Sept. 27, the robbers allowed me
to go back to the mission station to
secure food for my wife and children,
but pon arrival at the station I could
find no trace Of my family. I did,
however, meet Mr.. Holm, who also
had secured permission from his cap
tors to return n look after his FAM
lily.
"Everything in the mission had been
destroyed, and all food, clothing and
mOvables had been stolen.
MI. Holm and I went into the
streets to try to find our families, but
our search was fruitleSs.
"At this time the Chinese troops
which had arrived at Tsaoyang, start
ed to attack the robbers by firing
from outside the city walls. The
shots whistled through the streets in
which we were. spatting up against
the buildings. This alarmed the rob

can be properly operated unless
chemical and bacterial analyses be

two purposes. In the first place, they
will serve to show the results of

From the data obtained, we are

satisfactory physical character.
while this is our unanimous opin-
ion, we desire to emphasize the
absolute necessity for maintaining
this high standard. The river water
in it's natural conditions is unsuited
for domestic use and unless efficient
and capable management be enforced,
deterioration of the quality of purI-
fed water must surely obtain and we
therefore, unanimously recommend
that great care be taken to operate

cheney. -. =. - ~.~o
