CARE OF REFUGEES.
INCIDENT IN CHINA.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
DUXEDIX, this day.
Miss W. E. Moore; formerly of the Church of Scotland Christian Mission, in a letter from Ichang expressing her appreciation of donations sent from Dunedin to assist the Chinese, write* that she cannot give details df how th.* money sent to Shanghai has been used, •but as there are 30,000 requiring help there, it will have gone mostly in food. "We had a letter from NJbking telling how the Japanese tried to get into a girls' college where there were 10,000 refugees, but were refused by Miss Vantrin and Dr. Bay ley, American ladies,'' .she writes. "The former was beaten in the face by the "peace loving" Japanese so that her face is permanently swollen. They were going to carry off Dr. Bayley but recognised she was an American. They did not get into the college. I cannot help but admire Miss Vantrin's great courage and bravery, and feel glad I may call her friend."
