By order of the President, six rebels who were recently arrested in the Shoutseng Photographing have been shot for having tried to inflame the troops in Peking, Tientsin and other places in North China to raise anti-Government disturbances.
One of the executed rebels was an official in the service of the Central Government, thong Chia-sheng, who used to communicate with the rebel leaders in Japan about Government: secrets while at the same time he kept the Government informed about the secret movements of the rebels and their agents.
The metropolitan police are very active in hunting for rebels and their agents and a fairly large number of young Southerners have been arrested by detectives. In addition to the execution of six rebels by the martial court yesterday for sedition, various other blind and purposeless followers of the ex-Kuomintang leaders will be despatched shortly. Peace and order are maintained in the capital by vigorous re-Pressive measures.
