New Lines Being Built
Parls, Aug. 10. According to reliable Strasbourg reports, border observers, between Lauterbourg and Basle report that several new lines of fortifications are being built on higher ground further: back from the Rhine banks, while the noise of pumps is heard day and night balling out the waters which ncoded the original system of forti- fentions near the banks.
Recent explosions have led French observers to conclude that many of the inundated forts are being demo- lished. Other observers report sec- ing many low placed works entirely covered with canvas to conceal re- construction work.
Although works are in progress on the Siegfried Line north of Stras- the bourg, observers describe the

The Japanese appreciated this background of discontent among the Moslems of China and long before they embarked upon the China campaign, they sent scholars North China who introduced then- selves as Japanese Moslems. Soon after the occupation of Manchuria, of Moslems they stimulated a group of there and formed a Mobammedan Federation. In 1037-38 the Japan- ese opened

Christmas Pantomime Of Y.M.C.A. Club
"Ali Baba" was announced as the title of this year's pantomime when the members of the Y.M.C.A. Ama- leur Dramalle Club met in the Y.M.C.A. lounge yesterday afternoon to discuss the Club's programine in general and the Christmas pantomime In particular.
Mr. J. Allsopp, who presided, stated that the club's programme envisaged one play before Christmas (probably in October), the usual pantomime at Christmas, and a play in the New Year. He invited sug- gestions concerning the October play, which must be dependent upon the talent offering.
