THE CHINESE RED CATECHISM.

WHAT EVERY SOUTHERN SOLDIER MUST LEARN

TO ANSWER.

A FIRST CLASS PACK OF LIES!

On Tuesday, April 19th, thara was published in the North- China Daily News, says our Shanghai contemporary, a translation of the Red Catechism forced upon every Southern soldier and any other Chinese who can read and with whom the "Nationalist" agents come in touch. Since then, a still more violent document has been sent in, which, it stated, is a word perfect translation, though the other was substantially correct so far as it went. The second version follows:-
