It is reported elsewhere that some Chinese soldiers who had a special permit signed by the Senior Consul to pass through the Sett] ment, had entered the Y. M. C. A. in Szechuen Road where the girls of the Chin Woo Athletic Association were holding a meeting and had demanded what they were doing. Subsequently we were informed, on the authority of a foreign policeman on duty at the Y. M. C. A., that this was inaccurate. The soldiers were coming from Chapei (with Consular permit) and were going to the Y. M. C. A. recreation ground. on instructions from Tmnghua. They lost their wav and found themselves at the V. M. building instead. There their officer asked permission to use the building. but only he entered. we are told- Against this, the Chin Woo girls positively state that Chinese soldiers did enter the hall where their performance was going on, and. though there no snaeestion that they attempted to interfere, they asked what the performance was, and, say the girls, stayed for a few minutes watching it. The matter appears to call for further investigation.
