Show MISSIONARY IN CHINA TELLS OF JAP SAVAGERY Just to give some of our sentimental senti-mental Americans a better understanding under-standing of the nature of our Japanese Jap-anese enemies, we recount the story of the Rev. George Yager, who is in this country after missionary mis-sionary work in China. The Rev. Yager was in the Ki-angsi Ki-angsi area of China. Some of General Gen-eral Doolittle's flyers landed close by and were assisted by the missionaries mis-sionaries and Chinese residents. When the Japanese approached, the missionories withdrew into the hills some twenty miles away and, upon the retreat of the Japanese, moved back to the mission. They found nothing but destruction and desolation. Farms had been completely laid waste. The whole countryside wreaked by death in every home. The few country people who had stayed on, hoping to be allowed to continue to work their fields, had been savagely tortured and put to death. The Rev. Yager says that the few villagers who managed to escape- death told stories too brutal and savage to relate. "Just one charge was not heard," he declared "cannabalism. Outside of that," he added, "take your choice and you can't miss the savage nature of the Japanese army." |
