Japanese Boycott the Cause Telegrams received in Shanghai by the National Students Union indicate that the students in Honan have once more come into clashes with the military authorities. The local organization has been appeal: ed to to demand justice and punishment of the offenders. Telegrams have been sent to General Wu Pei-fu in this tone:—"We learn with regret that the students and soldiers in Honan have become mixed yp once more in a turmoil, The—students tried to evince their patriot ism by boycotting Japanese goods and, instead of being in sympathy with them, the merchants raised opposition to their movement. Now comes Chow Ti, the Tuchun of Honan, and interferes with them because they have been demanding the abolition of the post of Tuchun and that a clear financial report be submitted for public examination, Thus the students have to fight against two stronger bodies, the merchants and the soldiers. Their-~freedom of speech has been interfered with and their actions are limited. You are a real patriot and are in sympathy with the movement to save the country from destruction and ruin, The Honan troops and police are under your command, as assistant. Inspector-General, but they have done these acts in violation of the law. Tt is a blow to your facie and dignity. We beg you to demand that Tuchun Chow withdraw the order for martial law and urge that freedom of speech and action is open to everybody. We ask that you make an order re-instating the Students Union in Honan. Thus may the real wish of the people be carried out."
