Bolshevist activity in Shanghai is the subject of a telegram reported to have been received by the local police from the Civil Governor of Kiangsu. The message (as quoted by the "China Times") reads as follows:
According to a telegram from the Shanghai Military Governor, the Chinese anarchist and Communist, Lai Sze-foh, and his associate Tei Tso-yung, have been induced by the Bolshevist Chekoff to establish in Shanghai a society known as the SawWu Shoch Sui, for the purpose of inciting a social revolution." The workmen look favourably upon the doctrine, and many of them are now intent upon persuading the soldiers to join their party. They have published a book—"'A Soldier Should Know" ~which is being circulated everywhere, It is directed that measures be taken to stop the circulation of this book.
