To the Editor of the "Nonru-Cinwa Darcy Nsws" Sin—It seems that neither wamings issued by the Japanese military nor those published in the local press can prevent acertain type of "sportsman" from taking his gun into the Western District.
Saturday night we in the Hungjao fovea were treated to rifle and machine-gun fire exchanged, apparently, between Japanese military and [Chinese guerillas, Earlier in the evening a group of armed bandits attacked a Chinese house off Rubicon Road, by Macleod Road, and fired several shots. Sunday, hearing shots whilst walking in the vicinity of the Chinese Cemetery on Rubicon Road I went to investigate and found a motor ear parked inside the precincts of the cemetery and three foreign sportsmen" just finishing their after Moon's hunting. I drew their atten tion to the fact that they had no right to be shooting in that area and they just bolted in their car as fast as it would travel, shouting coarse express sions in Russian. The fact that they. were on private property, a cemetery fat that, and that most of the game available is out of season had not, of course, occurred to them.
Residents in that area refrain from [hunting there and it is pretty hard that they should be exposed to the dangers resulting from the actions of these unscrupulous individuals.
