At 6.30 am. two of the women were aroused from their sleep by the cries of the other woman and it was seen that without apparently any premeditation, Mok Lau Kwong had suddenly produced a chopper and attacked the sleeping woman with it. The mother of the woman called to him to desist from his terrible purpose, which seemed to be to kill his unfortunate victim by hacking her to Pieces, and as a reward for her trouble the man tarned his attention from his Brst victim to her and attacked her with the chopper.

CANTON NEWS.
[VROM OUR" CHINESE CORRESPONDENT] NO RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.
No religicus books or course in religion shall hereafter be allowed in the regular curriculum of schools in Canton, public or private, according to a special order of the Civil Governor at Canton, who has directed that religion must be separated from school education. The Civil Gover nor has also made attendance of religious services or ceremonials in schools by students voluntary or compulsory only by consent of the parents concerned The order was made at the instance of the Bureau of Education by petition of the an ti-Christian League and others aiming to deal & blow at the Christian schools. It is not believed that the order will help the anti-Christian agitatore at all, as the Christian institutions, which always have more applicants than they can take care of, may still continue their work as they used to do by simply asking all parents or guardians of students to give the necessary consent for their wards to attend services. -
OLD STYLE SCHOOLS. Notwithstanding the failure of the De- partment of Public Education in Canton to look after its own schools properly, it has gone into a carapaign to close down old style schools. Should the old style schools have to close for failing to comply with the teachings of a certain political party and the public schools suspend for lack of government appropriations, many boys and girls will be playing on the Can- ton streets Boon
BOLSHEVISTS IN CONTROL. Intrigues are still in progress in Can- ton among the political and Military cir cles, but up to May 28th, everything was quiet. General Tang Chi Yeo's anti- Bolshevist troops are still in Kwangsi and too far away to cause any change for the present. The Bolsheviks are still nominally in control of Canton City,
