"Nanyang" Not Being Used By Chinese Soldiers Shelter to refugees women and children, end that there was not a single military man there. The statement signed by Dr. J. Usang Ly, the president, reads as follows:
"Situated near the East Asia Tung-Wen College and much farther away from the railway line this university formerly called 'Nanyang' is on the International Settlement extension line and at the French Concession border. There are British forces around and French guards in front of us. What may be going on can be seen and things transported can be searched. Mo Chinese or any Other soldier stays in or enters into our premises and nothing conducive to military service is kept. No carry our own work so far without interruption.
"Since the last few days refugees have been coming into the Settlement Extension; by arrangement with the International Relief Committee and the Salvation Army representatives we had to give sheMer4o so many of them, mostly women and children. There is not one military wan with us; nor is there any thing which would contribute to military action.
"The report from - Tokyo "hat buildings of this institution have been seized and are now being used by the Chinese troops as base for operations, as a spokesman for the Foreign Office asserted,' is absolutely untrue. Hoping that this University will be spared from destruction, we ask that the mistaken report shall Fe corrected at once."
