Mass Meeting of Citizens

From Our Own Correspondent

Changsha, June 2.

Probably the best information I can give to your readers concerning the happenings of yesterday is to translate the account given in one of the daily papers. To all intents, all the papers say the same sort of thing, and the point of deepest interest to foreign readers is not so much the exact details of what has happened, but rather what are the Chinese readers of the papers in this city being told as to the events and what is their present school student (most of these are workmen), on the left eye and on his side. A lad named Chou Chi-wen, selling water-chestnuts, was hit on his chest and kicked. He was taken to the Shui-fu Temple (almost adjoining), where there are police quarters. The police gave first aid and sent him off to the Red Cross Hospital for treatment. A company of Chinese soldiers was, then brought.on to the scene and! after consultation with the Japanese soldiers, about midday they withdrew on to the Wuling.
