(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)
(Received 11th June, 12.6 p.m.) SHANGHAI, 10th June. Twelve doctors and nurses, headed ■.by. Dr. Crawford, from West China, are leaving for Hankow to alleviate the horrible* conditions prevailing there since swarms of Southern wounded returned from the front.
Daily reports from Hankow emphasise the pitiful plight of the wounded,' tlio inadequate hospital arrangements, and the danger of plague spreading unless immediately checked. • Strangely, the Chinese authorities did not hesitate to appeal for foreign assistance, medical and financial, the latter despite the well-known wealth of the Hankow Government. . -
The appeal for financial assistance caused a strong protest among foreigners on account of the huge personal losses of Hankow and Nanking victims .Which have, not been ' compensated, but medical aid is not, grudged.
