CHINESE BARBARITY
DEFEATED TROOPS MASSACRED. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.) (Received September 27, 11 a.m.) SHANGHAI, September 27. The city is shocked at the report of brutal butchery of three thousand surrendered Chihli-Shantung soldiers by the Nationalists en route from Luanchow, where they surrendered recently. They were going to Tongshan for the purpose of disarmament. By prearranged plans, the train, bearing the defeated Northerners, were ambushed by Nationalists, riddled by machine guns, and blown to pieces by small
cannon. The entrained soldiers did not have a chance of defence. Reports from other centres state that in recent fighting, the surrendered Northerners were lined up in hundreds and executed. Machine guns, concealed, fired without warning. The Nationalists’ barbaric treatment of the defeated enemy has aroused the indignation of all Foreigners, and the majority of the right-thinking Chinese.
