THROES OF STREET FIGHTING
Paris. Aug. 28. With Santander in" their hands. the Spanish Nationalists are not resting on their laurels but are pressing on and are rounding up the scattered bands of armed men which are all that remains of the much-vaunted Basque defence.
Many towns beyond Santander have been captured, and coastal ports are being rapidly occupied by a flying column.

:
The Hong Kong weather, after behaving in a very "damp" man ner towards the refugees from
Shanghal since their arrival here. was in its cheerfest mood gester day so that not only our Shang- ha visitors, but also the local residents who have had too much of the Hong Kong rain, flocked out to the beaches on the Island as well as those on the Kowloon alde.

ADMIRALTY WARNING
London, Aug. 28. Contrary to previous reports, it now appears that one of the Bri- tish steamers bombed by Nationa- list planes in Gijon harbour was not the Marion Moller but the Hulda Moller, according to despat ches from Gibraltar, which add that two members of the crew were wounded.
In connection with this latest attack on British vessels, the Ad-
miralty and the Board of Trade have again Jointly warned British ship owners that they can only claim protection by the British Navy for their ships if the latter are attacked outside Spanish ter- ritorial waters.

The warning points out that the port of Gijon lies within the zone of military operations, and that British ships calling there do Fo at their own risk.— Tranceau News Nersion.

AMAZED DOCTORS
Sir Abe Bailey's Fine
Recovery
Bir Abe Balley has amazed doctors by his remarkable recovery from his operation last month, when his left leg was amputated. His friends aay he is already better in general health than he was before the operation.
Sir Abe will shortly motor from London to h's country residence in Norfolk, where he will stay for a week or 30. A special runway has been fitted up. so that, in his wheeled chair, he can be got in and out of his car.
It was typical of Sir Abe that when he started going out for drives he insisted on walking on h's crutches from his bedroom to the Hft.
Now, it is "Business as usual" with him.
He conducts his affairs from his bedroom by telephone and through his secretary.
