TERRIBLE
SLAUGHTER
Shanghal, Aug. 14." Shanghai's foretaste of the ter- rible slaughter that was to be the world 'sensation of the afternoon. was provided when, to the, sur- prise of all, the Chinese Air Force launched attacks on the Japanese Flagship and the Japanese Con- sulate-General during the morn- ing. The story of this arst attack is related below:
Shortly before noon the entire clty was thrown into pante by an attempt on the part of Chinese bombers to destroy the Japanese Flagship “Idzumo.“
The flagship was not damaged and countered with a hall of shrapnel from her anti-aircraft 'guns, which falled to register hits
on the planes.

Shanghai, Aug. 14. Pandemonium was caused when the Chinese planes, from a height of 5,000 feet, rained down their

But without Christ there can only be poverty, misery and moral slaveży.

Herbert Sutcliffe was the star attraction in the big match of the day recently-Yorkshire v. Surrey at Bradford. The old England opening batsman was at his very best, and delighted s large crowd with a faultless lanings of 138. ¡Es and Hutton put on over one hundred runs for the first wicket, and Yorkshire had nearly 300 runs on the board for the loss of caly four wickets. During the course of his innings Sutcliffe completed his 1,000 runs for the nineteenth consecutive season. This was his 99th century for Yorkshire and the 136th of his career. Truly wonderful record.
