A TORY TELLS THE "BRUTAL TRUTH"
Some Rude Letters From
Bill Back-Bench, M.P.
"Gad, sir, Colonel Blimp is right. Britain's going to the dogs. We must call the hounds off."
A fair epitome, I think, of a book entitled "Rude Letters to Youth," by Bill Back-Bench, M.P., which has been published:
Bill Back-Bench, M.P., is actually Major Ralph Rayner, 40- your-old Conservative M.P. for the Tolnes division of Devon- shire.
Major Rayner-one of the original, or rather aboriginal Tories got in for Totnes at the last election.
Since then મ has obalously chafed at the growing fabbiness, softness, indiscipline,

Singapore, Aug. 3.
SIA'S rarest animal, a giant panda, on its way to the London Zoo, died between Hongkong and Shanghai on the French liner Andre Lebon, which reached Singapore to-day. Only the third animal of its type to be caught alive, it joined the vessel at Shanghai after being captured on the Chinese-Tibetan border by Mr. Floyd Tangier-Smith.
The heavier of two caught, which weighed 200 Ib., died, but the other, weighing about 100 lb., and carefully dyed to appear like a brown bear in order - not to attract attention, was safely taken to Shanghai
and put aboard the Andre Lebon.
