Suiyuan, Feb. 9.
Refusing to ce-operate with the Chinese Communists, because of his Catholic convictions, Gen. Li Wei-Yeh, a divisional commander of the Chinese Nationalist forces, recently surrendered to the Japanese Army with 465 trusted men, it was revealed here today.
Gen. Li and his followers have been incorporated into the Anti-Communist Vigilance Committee of the Federated Autonomous Government of Mongolia.
Before his surrender to the Japat ese, Gen. Li executed eight of his staff officers who advocated co-opera tion with the Communists and weeded out all unreliable elements out of 3,000 men under his command. He then submitted to the Japanese, together with his trusted followers.
Gen. Li was active against the Japanese forces under Gen. Ma Chan-shan and Gen. Fu Two-yi, in charge of the defence of China's northwestern provinces.—Domei.
