REIGN OF TERROR

WHOLE 8 A I E EXECTJTIOXS
AFTERMATH OF CAMPAIGN
Bolshevism In Vicinity of Canton
Crushed by Extreme MeUiods,
' . Reports Show
SHANGHAI, China, Dec 19.
(AP) Nationalist efforts to
purge" their territory of Bolshevism
and its agents appear to have been
followed by a'relgn of terror tak
tng the form i of wholesale evic
tions, executions and migration.
.While some tales of horror and
brutality- emanating chiefly from
Canton, the center of anti-red ac
tivities, may be exaggerated, there
seems to be little doubt that ex
tremely violent methods used - to
crush bolshevism and expel Its ex
ponents' have reacted on the peace
able Chinese population. Natives
in the affected districts, fearing
to be confounded with. those- sus-
nected of bolehevlst leanings, axe
seeking asylum by the thousands
in Hong Kong. .
News of executions in one group
of six hundred Chinese suspected
being communists came from Can
ton today.; The Soviet vice coun
tul was reported to be among
those executed. . ' - - -
' The danger of the situation is
heightened by reports that 14
Chaisum. who was ousted from the
dictatorship of Canton November
17, is at Swatow trying to prepare
an expedition to regain control of
the city. Apprehensions of re-
fighting have thrown the popula
tion nearly into a panic. Wealthy
Chinese are transferring their val
uables to the foreign concession.
Shameen island.
A Chinese relief delegation re
turning to Hong Kong after a visit
to Canton, - reported that more
than 2,000 houses were destroyed
by fire and that there were 3,000
casualties In connection, with the
disorders of a .week ago when the
bolshevists seized the city and lost
It to the nationalists a day or Be
