TIGER SEEN NEAR London

MR. W. H. C. BOURCHIER'S
EXPERIENCE · ·
SURPRISED WHILE AT TEA
Judging by the numerous reports received, the two tigers appear to have been particularly active during the Easter holi- days. From one source we learn that two Europeans, who were climbing Taimoshan, saw iwo big animals on Sunday evening but, owing to the darkness, they could not be certain whether the animals were actually tigers. Another rumour, which was un- confirmed up till the time of going to press, was to the effect that somebody had been mauled by a tiger in the region of Lion's Rock yesterday.
Mr. W. H. C. Bourchier, of the Bailiffs' Office, The Supreme Court, told the China Mall that he saw a tiger near the Kowloon (Waterworks on the evening of Good Friday but, owing to the fact that the beast only showed itself for a few seconds, he did not have the opportunity of "taking a shot at it.”
Mr. Bouchier went out Good Friday. in his car.

BRITISH POLICY

RESPONSIBILITY WITH LEAGUE COMMITTEE
ALLEGED ASSURANCES BY OTHER POWERS DISCREDITED
London, To-day. Astonishment and incredulity have been aroused by the rumours that the British Govern-. ment are satisfied that economic sanctions are in- effective to bring the Italo-Abyssinian war to an end, and that the other important League States are prepared to support Britain if she decides to employ military sanctions. It is declared in well- informed circles in London that the rumours are
baseless and that the British policy is unchanged.
Paris is equally incredulous. It is pointed out at the Quai d'Orsay that only the Committee of Eighteen could decide for the League on military sanctions against Italy, and it is improbable- that Mr. Eden and M. Flandin will contemplate military action.
Geneva: Nothing is known here of the rumour that the Bri- tish Cabinet has concluded that economic sanctions are inade- quate and should be replaced by military sanctions, if the Italo- Ethiopian war is to be ended. The report that important States have given assurances that they will support this policy is dis credited.
