During the parade on November 17 of the Shanghai Volunteer Corps, starting from the Race Course, Chinese intermingled with the on-Tookers at Bubbling Well and Thibet Roads and distributed pamphlets of which translations are given below.
The man succeeded in making good his escape though the police were soon on the scene having been summoned by a deaf and dumb mute who excitedly pounded a Chinese policeman on the back and motioned him to the agitator.
The pamphlets read:
The Anti-Imperialists A Masifesto opposing the demonstration by the International Volunteer Corps.
The Revolutionary Youth and Citizens in whole Shangh:
The ferocious imperialists are now making a further advance to attack us. Lo! Are not the International Volunteer Corps, fully equipped and armed, holding a demonstration against us to-day?
