BRITISH CONTROL OF MEDITERRANEAN
THE BOMBARDMENT of Genoa shows that the British Fleet continues to dominate the Mediter- ranean and the Italian African armies are virtually separated from Italy, writes the military correspon- dent of the Swiss newspaper "La Suisse."
The "National Zeitung" of Berne says that the speed with which General Wavell's on-storming Em-j pire troops reached and captured Benghazi has not only surprised laymen.
The performance of the British troops and High Command calls for the respect of all unprejudiced
observers.

QUICKSILVER POISON CASE SETTLED
Yang Wong-sz, 30-year-old
amah who has been attending court since last Decen.ber on 21 charge of attempting to poison her Formosan mistress by feeding her quicksilver, was acquitted in the First Special District Court last week when it was found through a chemical analysis that the poison used was not fatal to life.
On December 10, 1940, the amah was sent into the custody of the police by her mistress who dis-
covered silvery part cles in the tried eggs which she ate and was about to feed to her two-year-old son. Later, the amah confessed that the quicksilver powder had been scraped off the back of a
ror.
Taken to the Foo Ming Hospital, .1 medical examination revealed that the Formosan woman suffered only slight poisoning.
