SELF-DEFENCE

General Au with his troops is ex- pected in Canton to-day, and will soon move to his appointed destination.

Owing to the fact that in recent years for various reasons the bandits have seized opportunities to rob, which matter has been considered by District Magistrates, the Bureau of Civil Affairs has decided upon three methods of dealing with the situation.

All District Magistrates have ac- cordingly received orders that in the shortest possible time they must eup- prees banditry and that the police forces must be properly organised to ensure sufficient force for self-defence,

"In order to pacify the country for good and all, the people must learn to defend themselves and therefore the following methods have been devised for this province,

Methods of Procedure "1. In districts where large bodies. of bandits are located in difficult country, the forces, of one district are insufficient to cope with the situation. The neighbouring districts must be in- vited to devise together a common plan of defence, and, if necessary, obtain support from local troops. But their plans must be modelled on these of the meeting of all districts combined. Where meetings have not yet been held they must be called together quickly in order that steps for suppression may be taken in the shortest possible time.

Suppression

“2. For small group of bandits Inside the boundaries of any district, the District Magistrate must organisé his own police force for suppression, and he must suppress thom without letting any bandit escape elsewhere.

"3. On district toundaries where bandita are constantly passing, the Magistrate must give, orders to the boundary police to engage with the matters with the neighbouring district houndary police to suppress them as soon as possible.
