'GROSSLY EXAGGERATED' STORY TWO DRIFTERS SUNK AND RECEIPTS COMING CLOSE TO

OF SMALL INCIDENT

NOT POLITICAL

{From Our Own Correspondent.i.

Canton, Yaterday.

The report contained in one of the Hong Kong evening papers yesterday that a desperate attempt was made against the trala convey- Ing Chairman Chen Ming-shu, near the Shlukwan station, on the Can- ton-Hankow line a few days ago, is grossly exaggerated.. Our curres- pondent is officially informed to-day that no incident of any kind hap pened to the Chairman either on his journey to or return from Shiukwan on Sunday last.

Rail Loosened

But on Monday night, a rail was loosened on the section below Ying- tak, probably done by bandits, as such happenings are not uncommon, but the rail Was soon repair- ed ami no damage of any sort beyond this was suffered by the line. In the opinion of official cir cles, there was absolutely no peli- tical connection in this incident with the Chairman, as the foregoing paper, would wish to make out.

The Question Of Forces For Palestine.

The note I wish to strike to-day is one often touched on by the late Earl Haig of Beamersyde. The last time I saw him we were stand- ing in the beautiful little church- yard of my native village-Minto- whose small and unpretentious though beautiful War Memorial was graciously being unveiled by the

famous Field-Marshal. It was a lovely summer afternoon and the shadows were chasing one another

ceaselessly across the Border Hilla and down into the Teviot Valley, a most entrancing setting.
