TROUBLE IN PEKIN.
ANTI-JAPANESE DISPLAY. STUDENTS’ DEMONSTRATIONS LONDON, Dee. 17. The Pekin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sajs that Japanese military reinforcements are expected following the students’ demonstrations, which occurred during the first meeting of the Hopei-Clialiar political council. Yelling “Down with the Japanese!” and carrying banners bearing antiJapanese slogans, the students traversed the city scattering leaflets bearing the words, “Traitors, hold our country! Rise and overthrow the Japanese Imperialists!” They stoned the police and firemen who were ordered to disperse them. One girl is reported to have died from a bayonet wound in the neck. They were the biggest anti-Japanese demonstrations by students in the history of Pekin. The Japanese have warned the Chinese authorities that if they are unable to keep order the Japanese must do 60.
