SUPERSTITIOUS CHINESE
START RIOT AT PEITSAl
Conversion Of Buddhist Monastery
Into Public School and Removal
Of Idols Cause for Uprising.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, September 1O.-Dificul-
ties which beset educational leaders in
their battle against Chinese supersti-
ton are illustrated in a recent riot at
Peitsai, caused by the conversion of a
Buddhist monastery into a. public
school.
For several years the Sunching mon
astery had been used in part for school
purposes. In Difference to the super
stition of the villagers, however, the
school committee did not remove the
idols of Kuanyin and other Buddhas
from the monastery until such a step
became necessary to make room for
more pupils.
spired a number of hays to circulate
the report that Buddha kuanyin had by
means of inspiration ordered them to
ask the countrymen to resist the re-
moval of the images from the monas-
terry temple.
Fired by the monastic warning, ex-
cited countrymen organized a mob and
destroyed all the public school furni-
ture and books. The mob then moved
against Messrs. Tsai and Tung, men,
bers of the public school committee,
and destroyed their homes. ALI the
shops and public buildings in the viii
lage closed to avoid the fury of the
mob. but no further damage was done.
The rioters all reside within the ju-
risdiction of Shanghai officials, who
are now attempting to locate the lead
ers of the mob. Buddhist monasteries
throughout China are falling into ruins
and their temples are badly neglected
In many cases they are used as tea
houses or shops. Sometimes they are
even used as stables. Natives make fun
of the monks and give them little sup
port.
But in time of illness and financial
troubles the more ignorant Chinese
turn to the monks and priests, who still
hold sway over a considerable portion
of the coolie class.

Bu1gars Claim Successes.

SOFIA, Friday, October Is, via Lon
don, October 1S.-Reports from the
front indicate that not a single Serbian
soldier remains on Bulgarian territory.
while Bulgarian troops all along the
line have taken possession Of Serbian
and Macedonian territory.
Additional reports show that the Bull
garian losses in the fighting at Trim and
Bosgilegrad were 10 killed and 500
wounded, instead of IS killed and 100
wounded. according to the figures first
available.
The second days operations by the
Bulgarians were notably successful,
especially In the direction of Sultan
Tepe. which is considered one of Ser
bias strongest positions.
The latest reports said to emanate
from Greece. indicate that the contin-
uance of that country's neutrality is as
sured. and that departure from this
policy is unlikely to be caused by
Greek antagonism toward Bulgaria.
