Life Made Grim And Austere

Shanghai, Nov. 10.-A question that is creeping into the uneasy thoughts of Shanghai foreigners these days is: What will life be like under the Chinese reds?

In the few weeks just passed, the Communists have captured the four important cities of Tsinan, Chefoo, Chinhsien and Mukden in rapid fire order. The Nationalists have now lost the whole of Man- churia and the stage is being set for the campaign for North China.
