Catholic Missions Reported Earned by Reds in China Bishop O’Shea and Other Americans in Kiangsi Urged by U. S. Consul to Leave By N. C. W. C News Service.) Peking-. — The Rt. Rev. John O’Shea, of the Congregation of the Missions, Codajutator of uic Vicar iate Apostolic of Kanchow, together with all other Americans in south ern Kiangai, have been urged by the United States Consul General at Canton to abandon their present lo cations because of the great danger in which they have been placed by Communist uprisings. The Consul felt that the situation In southern Kiangsi probably would become much worse with the coining of the defeated Kiangsi troops. So far as is now known, Bishop O’Shea is still in southern Kiangsi. Washington, D. C.—Word received here from China says that Commun ist uprisings have been experienced everywhere in Kangan, and that a number of missions have been burned and the missionaries forced to flee. Bishop O’Shea and all Americans in southern Kiangsi are safe, but “Red” activities continue unabated, according to the latest word had here from that area. Appeals for reinforcements of the government troops have produced no results, and the military officials admit inability to protect life and property, it was also said. Bishop O’Shea himself has con firmed he report of the looting and burning of missions at Hingkuo and Anyuan, and the burning of mis sions on Yuan Shing Ku. The Sisters of Charity of St. Vin cent de Paul at Kanchow, Kiangsi, whose safety caused some little anx iety here, are reported to be in Kan chow. The region that is endangered is the zone between the two contend ing armies of Kiangsi' and Nanking, and has been held by a well organ ized and strong Communist force. Communications with Kianksi have been broken, and bandits were at tacking Sin Feng and Ning Kwo, according to the latest reports.

News Service. ..Paris. — Following negotiations with the government at Paris with regard to damages suffered by France during the trouble in China, the Chinese government offered $30,000 (Mex.) reparations for the murder of Father Dugout, S. J. The Mission of the Jesuit Fathers, conforming to instructions from the Holy See, refused all indemnity for the death of the missionary. The French government has decided to use two-thirds of the indemnity for the development of farming in Chi na. The remaining third will be used for the construction and mainte nance of a clinic in the French con cession at Nanking, where Chinese may receive medical advice and be vaccinated against typhoid. The refusal of the Catholic au thorities to receive indemnity is based on the principle that the Church does not wish to give the impression to infidels that anything could reimburse her for the murder of her sons.
