„FOREIGNERS FLEE.

Peking, Sept. 23. The bandit situation in the Luantung region appears to be go- ing from bad to worse. Foreign: residents of Peking, returning from Peitalho, describe the frightful scene of burning villages lighting up the sky at night-time.

As a result of the bandit acti- vities, most of the holiday makers have returned from Poitaiho and Chinwangtao, in which region, now only a very few foreigners remain.

Despatches from foreign sources Hin that region state that refugees from Funing are pouring into Changli, telling of how their vil- lages have been burned and pil- laged by bandits during the last few days.

The foreign despatches give de- tails of Chinese reports, declaring that bandits are being instigated by Manchukuo agents under as bandit named Lno Hao-tze..

'General Ho Ying-ching has up- pointed a small Commission made up of members of the Luantung Retrocession Commission to nego- tiate with the Japanese authorities here and in Tientsin, for the des- patch of further forces of armed Chinese police into, the demill- tarizod zone, to deal with the ban- dits.-Reuter.
