MR. C. F. DAVIES NOW RELEASED.

Mr. C. F. Davies, the missionary who As already stated in the Daily Press, was captured by bandits & month ago at Chowkiakow, has been released. He was for $50,000 and 100 held to ransoni pistols.

While in capitivity, Mr. Davies wrote the following letter, which he managed to have smuggled out of the bandit camp by a guard, who was friendly disposed:-

Here our premises were almost the first to be attacked. I had the two ladies, Mrs. D. and Miss Poppins in one hiding place and the girls and women away back in the women's quarters where

The two houses which we have on the

south side were absolutely destroyed during the vigil. God only could keep their reason in order during the time.

Coming away with the robbers I was able to get my guard to let me go in for a few moments. My study was not burn- ed and the Loc. Sec. Ledger and the Mission Books were safe then.

Missionaries for China. Forty-one missionaries are leaving for China in the course of a few days under the suspices of the China Inland Mission, which has over a thousand workers in your part of the world. Mr.. WH. Aldis, one of the secretaries of the Mis sion, tells me that while some people may question the wisdom of sending out missionaries to China during the present tumult and turmoil, the action has been fully considered.
