WREAK AWFUL VENGEANCE UPON BOYCOTT-BREAKING MERCHANTS, CAUSES SOME CONSIDERABLE UNEASINESS IN CERTAIN QUARTERS.
"The Red Blood Group for the Extermination of Traitors" has decided to amalgamate with the original "Bloody Group," organised for the same purpose, and intends henceforth to present a united front against merchants selling or in any way dealing with Japan- ese goods.
A meeting of leaders hast been called for Friday, where- after all Bloody Groups will be merged into a single body. directed by a special committee consisting of men of the intelli- gentsia..
But, despite its aristocratic directors, the Bloody Group will wield a savage weapon and its vengeance will be terrible.
Careful Preparation. Meanwhile, another fortnight's holiday from terrorism has been declared, but it is simply for the awaited the of

Though not so successful as the preceding touring team, Lee Wai- tong's XI won nineteen of their fixtures, lost two and drew two.

Among other things, the new Bloody Group will establish an intélligence branch, with head- quarters at Ningpo, to which point all reports on traitorous merchants will be submitted for judgment.
Police Watchful, European Police have taken a hand in this game of terrorism in Shanghai. Like the Chinese police, they are watching the ac tivities of the Bloody Group with the utmost care, fearing that Communista are likely to attempt to exploit the situation.
The authorities have not shut their "eyes to the possibility of reproduction of the sinister evils of nihilism, such as that spread across Russia during the days of the Czarist regime.

Mahatma Gandhi, India's non-Co-operationist chief- tain, has decided to "fast unto death," commencing from September 20, as, a protest against the British Government's solution "" of the depressed classes" pro-": blem in the recent Commup- al Decision, which, he "main- tains, is not remedy for their crushing degradation. His decision was announced in Pre- correspondence with mier MacDonald and Sir Samuel Hoare in the course, of which the Fremier ex~ presses his regret at Gand- hi's decision and says the Government's decision must stand.
