THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 I CHI B1DITG If seize nam Three U. S. Clergymen Held by Outlaws in Honan. PEKIN TO TAKE ACTION Kidnapings Explained by Story That Kobbers Want Restor ation to Army. PEKIN, Nov. 17. (By the Associ ated Press.) George Olaf Holm, an American member of the Lutheran mission, has been kidnaped by ban dits in Honan province. The power ful bandit army is growing bolder. It apparently dominates the entire province of Honan. A dqzen towns have been sacked and burned and their inhabitants forced to flee. Up wards of 300 Americans in the dan ger zone are greatly alarmed, ac cording to the American consul at Hankow. The Chinese government realizes that the kidnaped missionaries must be released at all costs, and as a last resort to insure their return it may accede to the bandits' demand that they be re-enljsted in the army at regular pay, according to a state ment made today by Dr. Wellington Koo, foreign minister. The foreign minister said that the government was making every ef fort to obtain the release of the captives, but that it was confronted by a grave difficulty. Plot Is Unveiled. He explained that the bandits are seizing foreigners in an effort to force the government to incorporate them in the Chinese army. Dr. Koo asserted that the government was reluctant to grant this demand for two reasons: First, because it would encourage other outlaws to adopt a similar course and endanger more foreign ers, and second, because it would Increase the size of the army, which already was too large. Dr. Koo pointed out that China had been urged to disband unneces sary troops by a resolution adopted .by the powers at the Washington conference. Mr. Holm is the third American missionary to be carried off by the 1 Honan bandits, who also are hold ing Anton Lundeen and Einar Borg Breen, together with the latter's 5-year-old son. Holm, was born in Norway, but is a naturalized Amer ican citizen. His nearest relative lives at Mooreton, N. D. A body of armed bandits entered the Holm residence at Chenyang, seized the' missionary in the pres ence of his wife and two sons, and marched him off into the country. Captives Believed Safe. So far as is known here, all the kidnaped missionaries are safe and unharmed and are permitted to com municate with their families. Reports from Honan indicate that the bandit activities are becoming more serious, with the outlaws ap parently in full control of the prov ince and a dozen towns laid in ashes in the wake of their march. Foreigners in the unprotected communities have been advised by their consuls to flee to Hankow and scores of missionaries already have arrived there. Hundreds, however, still are scattered throughout the more remote districts, including ap proximately 300 Americans. The entire staff of the American mis sion school at Chikungshan has fled to Hankow, where martial law has been declared. The head of the Lutheran mission at Kwangchow reports that bandits armed with machine guns are loot ing the cities in that section and are robbing the missions. They are threatening to carry off all for eigners. The Chinese foreign office, reply ing to the joint note from the Amer ican, British, French, Italian and Swedish ministers demanding action, announced today that it had ap pealed to General Wu Pei-Fu, the military power of North China, to attempt to conciliate the bandits. It is feared that if force is used against them it would jeopardize their captives. WOMEN OUTNUMBER MEN Suffrage Opponents in Senate of France Worried. (Coprisht. 1022, by the New York Times.) (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) PARIS, Nov. 17. The fact that there' are 1,800,000 more women than men In France as a result of the war is what is worrying the opponents of woman suffrage in the senate more than any other argu ment. These 1,800,000 women, they think, could become the real dictators of the country, for the feminine vote would always be larger than the male vote if equal ' franchise was given.
