AMAZING SCENE CHINA AND JAPAN
IN ST. PAUL'S
"NOVELIST'S PROTEST
·AGAINST SLUMS.
(Special "Air-Mail Service)
LONDON, July 11.
The Bishop of Winchester, Dr. Cyril Garbett, figured in an amaz ing scene in St. Paul's Cathedral yesterday afternoon.
As soon as he had commenced his serion on the "Oxford Movement, Miss Joan Conquest (Mrs. Leonard Cboke), the novelist, jamped up from a seat inmediately under the
pulpit..
Waving a bright yellow-covered book, written by herself, she de manded the right to address the congregation from the pulpit stops. "My Lord Bishop," she cried, "this book, a challenge to civilise tion and Christianity, demands that the Church of England takes up the cause of British untouchab- les, the degraded disspirited mass of the slums"
Before she could proceed further with her protest two vergera ruah- ed forward and, taking her by either arm, led her from the cathe dral.
As she was led past the pulpit. she throw down the book and on the steps cried out: "I can only assume that the Church of Eng land is cowardly and criminally neglectful of the salvation of the mass of degraded human beings of the slums."
Sermon Continued.
The Bishop did not even glance down, and continued his sermon, although his words were lost to the congregation.:

Immense Cost Of Armaments
BARON WAKATSUKI'S
WARNING
Commenting on the connection between armaments and financial stability, the Hochi saya that whereas there can be no two opinions as to the need of strong armaments for a country of Japan's
present position, the mere increase of armaments does not provide a country with perfect defences in the modern sense. Armament improve ment, not accompanied by sufficient national resources and efficient diplomacy, will leave the country dangerously vulnerable to hostile attacks. The national policy in time of emergency as at present must of necessity be framed on the basis of the close coordination of armen- ments, finance and diplomacy.

DEAR SIR-In connection with the typhoon which threatened the Colony last Saturday, the follow ing extract from Captain T. Prit- chard's (a.a. Langshan) letter to me may perhaps interest you: "
During our stay at Stone- cutters and at 11.30 p.m. On Saturday night, we rescued two soldiers, Bombardiers Fellon" and Barrelaugh, who were adrift in the water and on the verge of drowning. We "heard shouting" and got out a boat just in time. On being taken aboard it was all we could do to bring one of them round; he was nearly gone," They were taken away at 9 <a.m2 on Sunday by a boat from Stone cutters.”
