Wartime Training
REVIEW
All Chinese students in middle schools, universities and technical colleges throughout the country will undergo a strict wartime train- ing according to a new programme mapped out by the educational authorities in China. Students who volunteer to do frant time work at once must first complete a special military training course, after which they will be sent to the front lines for duty.

GOVERNOR'S SPEECH
Because practically all services, accommoțation and a consider- able amount of supplies were given free the cost averaged only a Httle over one dollar each month for each wounded man. Theatres." cabarets, schools, the famous Henry Lester 'Medical Research Institute and other buildings were transformed into hospitals without cost to the Society.
Up to the middle of December last the 24 emergency hospitals and 15 aflated hospitals had treated over 40,000 wounded. In ad- dition to this assistance the Society had evacuated over 25,000 of the less badly wounded who could not be accommodated in Shanghai to their homes at a cost of about $4 per head-a total cost of over $100,- battle-front and more than 30 ambulances were provided by the Red 000. Eight first-aid corps were organised and maintained at the
