supported by inanciers VINO disapprove OF
Nashingtons policy toward President

CHINESE CITIZENS AL TREATED BY JAP
 SOLDIERS, REPORT
Troops Enter Chinese Homes and Force Merchants to Work for Them, Ac-
 cOrding to Report

Pcking, China, September c2-Tbe correspondent here of the Associated Press has received n letter from Charles A. Leonard of the American Southern Baptist mission at I.ni-chou. shan-Tung province. in which Chinese rep"rts of i'll treatment of the Ioca, inhabitants by Jnpauese troops in the country are repeated.
 MT Leonard relates the passage of the western section of the Japanese army, which, he says, was about 5000 strong. composed of cavalry. infantry and artillery, and which went through l.af-Chow. The advance guard of the cavalry did not modest the Chinese pop ulation and compensated them for what provender they took. But when the larger attachments arrived torrential rains were falling. For this reason the Japanese did not pitch their tents. but entered the best Chinese homes and compelled local merchants and other Chinese to work for them. In many cases they dried their wet clothes by making fires of the furniture in the middle of the room. The men fed their horses on the ripening crops and the soldiers killed chickens and cattle for. their own use. frequently with inade- quate or no compensation Continuing. MT Leonard declares that the Chinese women, terrorized, deserted their homes. Five, he said. committed sui . eide, either to escape attack by the Japanese or after they had been so at tackled.
 Declare Friendship Various Japanese proclamations posted in the war zone declaring Friendship to the Chinese people and republic explain the necessity of ter minating Germany's military and naval activities in the orient and exhopt the people to continue their vacations un- alarmed.
 But anyone daring to interfere with our troops will be arrested immedi ately and punished without mercy.' , these proclamations continue. "All carts. cattle, horses. fuel grain and meal required immediately must be supplied to our army. which win cornpensate for these goods at equit- able valuations"
 Continuing his letter Mir. Leonard said that military notes are being s- sued as in the Russo Japanese war, and that the redemption of these notes began at Lungkow September f. "If the people were compensated 1t would not be so bad" MT. Leonard writes. but although I made many in quiri.s. I was unable to learn of com lrensations for chickens. grain and food lchtained in Chinese homes. for fuel and furniture burned. or for the occupa- ltien os houses" In concluding his let ter Mir Leonard says the same stories come from the surrounding country sides.
