Shanghai, Aug. 4.
The Municipal Council of the British Concession in Tientsin are threatened with serious breakdown in the policing arrangements. Every Chinese officer of the Concession Police Force (and they outnumber the British officers considerably) has tendered his resignation, the action being carried out en bloc.
The Chinese rank and file are

HAZARDOUS FLIGHT.
MILES OF COLD DESOLATION.
Churchill, Aug. 3. Colonel and Mrs. Lind bergh are including some strange out of the way places in the preliminary stages of their flight to the Far East. To-day they set out from Churchill (on the great Hud- son Bay) for Baker Lake, a lonely fur-trading station in the extréme North-West Territories, and almost on. the Arctic Circle.
The population of Baker Lake, ja small township on a lake of the same name, consists chiefly of Eskimos, with only about a dozen whites. The majority of the inhabitants have never seen an acroplane in their lives. In the fast Lockheed-Vega machine which Col. Lindbergh is flying, they will see one of the finest developments in aircraft.
"I would rather be in a plane than anywhere. 1. feel safe with my big boy, Charlle, at the controls," said Mrs. Lindbergh, before leaving Churchill.
