she was glad to learn the allies were
about to end their military control and
permit Germany to revert back to
normal.
The note also ignored formal allied
representation to the Berlin govern

American member Of the Lutheran
mission. has been kidnapped by ban.
dts in Honan province. The power
ful bandit army is growing bolder
and it apparently dominates the en-
tire province. A dozen towns have
been sacked and burned and the in
habitants forced to fee. Upwards
OF 800 Americans in the danger zone
are greatly alarmed, according to the
American consul at Hankow.
Mr.. Holm is the third American
missionary to be carried aft by the
Honan bandits, who also are holding
Anton Ludeen and Einar Borg -Breen,
together with the latters five year
old son. Holm was born in Norway
but is naturalized American citi-
zen.
body of armed bandits entered
the Holm residence at Chen Yang,
seized the missionary in the presence
OF his wife and two sons and marched
off into the country. So far as known
here all the kidnapped missionaries
are safe and unharmed and are per.
nittcd to communicate with their
antilles
Reports from Honan indicate that
the bandit activities are becoming
more serious with the outlaws ap-
parently in full control of the prov
nee and dozen towns in ashes in
ne wake of their march,
Foreigners in the unprotected com.
.nunities have been advised by thei-
;onsuls to flee to Hankow and scores
Of missionaries already have arrived
here. Hundreds, however, still are
scattered throughout the more re-
mote districts including approximate.
ly 800 Americans.
The entire staff of the American
mission school at Chikungshan has
ded to Hankow, where martial law
has been declared. =
The head of the Lutheran mission

armed with machine guns are looting
;he cities in that section and are rob-
bing the missions. They are threat
ening to carry off all foreigners.

:he bandits. 1t is feared II force Is
used against them it would jeopardize
their captives.
Gen. wellington Koo, foreign min
lister, said the government was max
ing every effort to obtain the release
of the captives. He explained that
ne bandits are seizing foreigners in
IN effort to force the government tn
Incorporate them in the Chinese
! army. DR.. Koo asserted the govern.
nent was reluctant to grant this re-
quest for two reasons. First, because
it would encourage other outlaws to
ADOPT similar course, and endan-
ger more foreigners, and, second, be-
cause that would increase the size
| If the army, which already was too
large.
DR.. KoKo also pointed out that
China had agreed to disband unneces
sary troops by resolution adopted
at the Washington conference.
