SHANGHAI, Jan. 3. _ American professors remaining at Ginling College in Nanking
as foreign members of the Refugee Welfare Committee were seriously embarrassed to
discover that they had been harboring a deserted Chinese Army colonel and six of his
subordinate officers. The professors had, in fact, made the colonel second in authority at
the refugee camp. The officers, who had doffed their uniforms during the Chinese retreat
from Nanking, were discovered living in one of the college buildings: They confessed their
identity after Japanese Army searchers found ,they had hidden six rifles, five revolvers, a
dismounted machine gun and ammunition in the building. The ex-Chinese officers in the
presence of Americans and other foreigners confessed looting in Nanking and also that one
night they dragged girls into the darkness and the next day blamed Japanese soldiers for the
attacks.
