BRITON KILLED AS GUERILLAS RAID JAPANESE IN S'HAI
Shanghai, Aug. 17.
A Briton, Richard Norman Keys, 22, son of Major P. H. Keys, local businessman, was killed at 1.20 a.m. to-day by a machine gun bullet which struck him in the stomach during a 45-minute guerillas and engagement between Chinese Japanese in the Hungjao area, three miles from the Settlement.
Being a tuberculosis patient, he was sleeping on the roof of his home which is situated only 40 yards from the Japanese headquarters which was one of the guerilla targets.
A most poignant feature of the case was that Major Keys was unable to go to his son's bedside immediately owing to a hail of bullets on the roof and was forced helplessly to watch his son's agony.
The boy was without medical at tention for more than an hour owing to the doctor's inability to arrive on the scene as the road was alive with bullets while the engagement insted. It is definitely confirmed that the fatal bullet came from the guerillas,
three of which there were
bands which took various posts and con- centrated fire on several Japanese targets, one of which was the Ju panese beadquarters.
The home of another prominent Briton, Mr. 11. E. Arnhold,

As against those pessimists prophesy the end of the race, there is another school of thought of which if the the protagonists claim that human race continues to increase in numbers there will not be enough food to go round and that diminution will then be compulsory,
It is unpleasant to read that certain European countries are only concern- ed about their birth-rates because of the numerical lack of man-power for their conscription armies. One ans- wer to their anxiety may be that the new school of military thought be lleves that highly-specialised groups more important than armed masses which have received only a routine training.

When politicians, scientists, and statisticlans discuss birth-rate pro- blems they are liable, to lose sight of one very important factor-namely, the mother or possible mother of children.
Perhaps if they would give her more consideration they might arrive at some solution of the problem.
