American Mission Bombed

Peiping, May 17.

Another protest to Jabin from the United States appears to be foreshadowed by the complete destruction on May 2 of an American mission sta tion at Tungpei, on the Honan-Hupeh border, by Japanese planes.

'A church and a school were completely demolished by bombs. There were several Chinese casualties, but no foreigners were hurt. The Japanese army is said to have been supplied with a map, showing the posi tion of the mission, a year ago—Reuter.
