The residence of Gen

Te-chen, Governor of Kwangtung, is being denuded of its contents, as five truckloads of furniture and other things have been removed from the prem-isos during the past three days.

The residence, situated at 464

Avenue Haig, is in Chinese territory, although its entrance is off an extra-Settlement road.

Sealed by the Japanese after the withdrawal of Chinese troops, the house has been guarded by some Japanese sentries. Gen. Wu's servants remain in the house.

Since 10 am, Tuesday, the contents of the residence have been removed by the Japanese from time to time.

Gen. Wu was formerly Mayor of Shanghai, who assumed the post of Governorship before the outbreak of hostilities.
