General Ignores all Requests to Vacate Foreign Mission row Arn Own Conmtsroxoext Nanchang, Kiangsi, Oct, 3
We are very pleased to report the arrival here of Dr. Libby and Dr, Blydenberg, of the Methodist Mission Hospital. Dr. Blydenberg has spent the summer in the north, principally at Peitaho, and Libby has just returned from America, where he has been furlough. Miss Pennypacker, a trained nurse, of the same mission, also arrived for duty.
Dr. Libby's house is occupied by Gen, Chin Han-ting and all attempts to regain the house have 50 far been futile, A request from the American Consul of Hankow and several letters from the mission station have so far been useless, A strike has taken place among the workers on the new roads on account of the soldiers interfering with the work. It seems that the soldiers enter the matsheds and carry off things that, please them, The workmen rough-handled some of them and the soldiers retaliated by calling in more troops and beating the workmen, The strike among the teachers of the Government schools has probably been settled, as the schools fare now open and scholars are at their desks.
