Woman Reverses Moslem Rights

Mounfra Hassan. Abould Hosn of Egypt, questioning Moslem men's rights to marry four wives, decided she should have four husbands.

Japan Expected

After Treaty Signing

Tokyo, Aug. 28.

Japan is certain to establish and maintain an army soon after the peace treaty is ratified and, Nippon is again free and independent..

This is the opinion of both Japanese and foreign observers here who point out that at least in the beginning the new Japanese military forces will be strictly defensive in nature.

•

Although Japan's new constitutions says, "The Japanese people, forever, renounce war," it does not say Japan cannot have the means to defend herself. Specifically it says Japan "renounces war, or the threat, or use of force, as, n means of settling disputes with other nations." Many Japanese and

An explanation that he threw his knife at a shadowy man who held him up at pistol point was given this morning by PC Chan Chung-man, 21, on trial at the Criminal Sessions before Mr Justice Scholes, and a jury of six men and a woman, for the alleged stabbing of his colleague, PC Li.

Explaining how he came to know of the where- abcuts of the revolver and watch, Chan said that he trailed two suspicious characters on the night of February 1 (when PC Li was attacked) and saw them leave a parcel under some stone steps in Wanchai. When the men went away, he found that the parcel contained a gun and a watch. He left the where it was and place the watch near a tap in the vicinity.

Prosecution evidence wast that the accused led the Police to recover the articles. The Crown alleged that the accus- ed Jured PC Li into a dark | lane behind Wood Road, reljev. ed him of his gun, bound and gogged him and then stabbed him in the back with the in- tention of Idiling him,
