Japanese Militarist Endeavour to Stamp Out the Independence Movement The same correspondent whose reports of the killing of Koreans in Fergtien we have already published sends vs additional particulars of the doings of Japanese troops in that district.
Further details of the Japanese. military massacres of Koreans in the Fengtien province are continually coming to hand. An authentic list of the killed in Sanyiianp'u, Tashat'an, Siang-panchen, Ts'inglingtze and Kushantze, giving the names in each case, along with other particulars, contains the names of 18 Christians, including one elder, two teachers and five other office-bearers in the Church. The list only mentions three non-Christians killed.
In those remoter places the bodies of the killed were left lying where they fell, and no attempt was made to bury them. Con-coalment was not considered necessary, where only Chinese were likely to. be witnesses. As elsewhere, the Koreans killed were chiefly young men or men in the prime of life. In two of the cases referred to above, the young men killed were the sole breadwinners in their families, leaving their old parents, their wives and_ their young children destitute, and without means of gaining a livelihood.
