"

Before Mr. N.; L. Smith, at the Magistracy this morning, Mr. C. F. Mason appeared to defend a Chinese who had lived 52 years) in America, charged with the unlawful posses- sign of 129 rounds of ammunition.

Counsel said that his client had j only been a couple of days in the Colony, and did not know local regulations. The contraband was not found in the defendant's luggage, but in a box which he would tell the court belonged to a friend who had asked him to lock after it for him. He was cot aware of the contents of the box. Counsel said that having regard to the defendant's, age, he could be believed. He did not think defendant was capable of inventing the story.

The Magistrate: Does not one learn to invent stories in America? A $50 fire was imposed and the ammunition was confiscated.

"BOMB SHATTERED

LONDON

A NEW ATTRACTION FOR -AMERICAN, VISITORS.

The American invader is showing a characteristic interest in the "bomb shattered" areas of London. Quite a lot of Americans have been seen lately poking about the base of Cleopatra's Needle on the Thames Embankment like so many Egyptologists, snap- shorting the splinter holes on the granite plinth, and putting their fin gers through the slits in the metal staques that were made by the flying fragments..

',

Occasionally, on a warm evening, American în evening dress is to be scen sauntering across from the Savoy! to examine the Needle, and the ex- soldier who sells maps, and picture) postcards on the steps is now an ac2 cepted authority on this survival of the Hun's fury. He knows the history of the raid from first to last...The Ameri- cars are disappointed when told that no fragments are to be had as sou-} venirs.

11 .

Lincoln's lan and Gray's Inn. with their several bomb holes pow neatly marked by circular slabs of cement are other spors that make an appeal) to the American.

Many Americans have brought over maps of the war zone showing all the points where bombs fell. They are a replica of the Brrish official map that, was published after the Armistice. Waggonette loads of Americans are seen daily passing through the streets and the most Frequently pur request is: "Show us some of the damage done by the Germans."

Visits to bomb-shattcred areas are "marked first on the sightseeing pro-i gramme. Cleopatra's Needle being more popular than Westminster Abbes or the Tower of London.
