Meanwhile, fighting is still raging in Yungcheng, north-east of Chiehhsien in south Shansi, and Linfen, claimed possession of 4 Lincoln about 100 miles south of Taiyuan, with the Chinese

DENIED RENT ARREARS

An allegation by her landlord, Wong Kan-lak, that she was three months' rent in arrears was denied by Chan Chi-pan, 21 Nga Chin Wai Road,

His Lordship pointed out that the writ sald defendant originally owed $100 in rent but since April 11 she had paid $55, leaving $45. Defen- dant did not agree to this, and Mr. Peter H. Sin, who appeared for the landlord, said that all the money paid was for arrears of rent.
