"Nanyang" Not Being Used By Chinese Soldiers Shanghai, Oct, 31, Refuting the Japanese allegation that Nanyang University in the west-Join district was being used by Chinese cops, the school authorities stated: yesterday that the institution gave Shelter to refugees only, mostly. women and children, and that there was not a single military man there, The slatement 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 Ibe searched, No Chinese or any other soldier stays in or enters into our premises and nothing conducive to military service is kept. No carry fon 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 Commitice and the Salvation Army representatives we had to give shelter to s0 many of them, mostly women ind children, There is nob one military man with us; nor is there any thing which would conlfibute to military action.
"The report from. Tokyo that 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 Ofice asserted," Is absolutely untrue.—Hoping that this University will be spared from destruction, we ask that the mistaken report shall corrected at once."
