CHINESE TURMOIL
STUDENTS' MOVEMENT FRUSTRATED NEWSPAPER OFFICE WRECKED Press.Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. .SHANGHAI, December 18. (Received December 19, at 9 a.m.) The Nanking student movement was scotched overnight by Government troops, who surprised and surrounded a student encampment and escorted Shanghai, Peiping, and Tsinan students to the railway stations where special trains were under steam ready for instant departure. The students were compelled to go aboard, and were despatched to their respective homes. The entire proceedings occupied a couple of hours. The capital is entirely rid of the unruly elements. The office of the ‘ Central Daily News,’ tho Government organ, was wrecked yesterday in the students’ riots but the paper appeared to-day in an abbreviated form, announcing that the printing plant was a total wreck. One member of the paper’s staff was seized and stabbed to death. Two students were drowned in a creek while escaping from soldiers.
