CHINESE CIVIL WAR.
A DUNEDIN LADY’S STATEMENT. DUNEDIN. Nov. 7. A Dunedin young lady, writing from Shanghai, says: “The soldiers in the Chinese army are not paid regularly, and consequently they have to loot and steal food, etc., from the villages to which they are near. It is said that the general with the most money will, win. as the Chinese must have their pay and their food, so whoever offers them most in the finish will win. Loyalty has no part in it in regard to the actual troops. All day .lojjg the ambulance is coming into Shanghai with wounded for the hospitals here, but taking things all round, to the casual eye there does not appear to be anything amiss. Pictures still attract crowds, dancing still goes on, dining, wining, etc. One golf course and race course is closed to foreigners, and we are not allowed outside the settlement after dark, but this is all. We may get short of meat by and by, as it comes from up the country.”
