Japan, under the strongest protest from China. has sent over 15,0OO men into this part of China with the seeming in- tentlon of wiping out of existence, if pos- siole, the whole Christian community, especially all young men. Village after village is daily being methodically burned and the young men shot, so that at present we have a ring of villages surrounding this city that have suffered from fire or wholesale murder or both. The facts below are absolutely ac- curate:
 TORCH IS APPLIED
 At daybreak complete cordon Of Japanese infantry surrounded the main Christian voltage of Norabawie and, starting from the top of the valley, set fire to the immense stacks of unthreshed millet, barley and straw and then or dered the occupants of the houses out side. In each case as the father or son stepped forth, he was shot on sight, and as he fell on his face, perhaps only half dead, great piles of burning straw were thrown on top of him.
 "I was shown the blood marks on the ground caused by the bayonet thrusts inflicted on the men as they strove to rise from the flames, in spite of the fact that they had been shot three times at close range The bodies were soon charred beyond recognition. The moth CTS, wives and even the children were forced spectators of this treatment ot all the grown males of the village Houses were fired and soon the whole country was full of smoke, which was plainly visible from this toyn. The Japanese soldiers then spread out and burned the houses of Christian believers in other villages all the way down the valley to the main road. Then they re- turned home to celebrate the Emperor,s birthday.
 AS we approached the nearby vil- lages we found only women and children and some white-haired men. The women with younb babies on their backs were walking up and down wailing.

where the majority of inhabitants were known to be in league with the out laws.
 Referring to the charge that an or sanlzed attempt was made to wipe out the whole Christian community" Colonel Hata said that it was possible that a majority of those who had been executed were Christians, but they were not punished for their religion. but for banditry and rebellion. No charge was made against the mission aries.
 Colonel Hata, while admitting that harsh measures had been adopted, said bad conditions had existed in that dis trict for long time owing to the un- checked activities of Chinese bandits, Korean outlaws and Russian bolshe- wiki. He said he was confident that the Japanese soldiers had not been guilty of the barbarities with which they had been charged

 MURDER AND FLAMES

 me Rev. W. H. Foote, Canadian pres- pyterlan missionary at Yongtung names several villages in which the homes schoois or churches of Christian natives were burned and says that in one of them 25 people were shot and tho bodies burned. Those cases, he declares are absolutely authentic" the premises hay Ing been inspected by four missionaries and a customs official.
 Quotlng koreans as his authority he says that 9 persons were shot and seven burned to death in their own houses at Cheng San; that 80 were shot at ITn Tong Ja, and that these were all Christian villages.
 The soldiers and commanding officer who go to these places" asserted MT foote as a general thing have no con- versation whatever with the people, but do thelr diabolical deeds and pass on l<u Sci Tong is the only place where any reason was given to the people at all for the action. A Korean accompanied the soldiers and told the people that the officer said ne had evidence that the owner of the house had collected money Tor Korean patriotic purposes. If only the offcnders suffered, even the Ko- reans would not seriously object but it is because the perfectly innocent and helpless are done to death without even

 Describing the action of the Japanese soldiers at Kan Chang, Rev Mr Foote said that the young men of that village were "herded in front of Korean house and without even a form of ex- animation shot down, 25 in all Then the bodies were heaped together in two piles and covered with wood and burned. While the fuel was being placed on them. some of the wounded still were able to rise, but were ,bav- onetted to the ground and met their fate in the flames.
 T know these people we'll" MT. Foote continued. They live in an out-of- the-way glen. The land was not fer tile and firewood is scarce They were a quiet hard-working people, who struggled hard to make living. Their church eand school their Bible and hymn books, their Sunday worship. and above alls their Saviour were their joy. They were not patriotic soldiers and disapproved of the church taking part in politics."
 Miss Emma M. Palethorpe of Ontario. member of the Canadian Presby- terian mission at Yongjung, tells in her statement of the execution of five men from the village of Suchilgo who. Sho s7AS D. W SAc leu Dy the japanese sol diers to the top of a hill about three miles from Yongjung and there put to death.
 'Tn the top of the hill" she declares. there is quite a large hollow not visible from the road or village. The victims were made to sit at the bot tom of this where they were slashed with swords. It is reported by an eye witness that two swords were broken and then the awful work was finished with bayonets. Then the loose earth was pulled down from the sides of the hollow to cover the mutilated bodies."
