WAR AGAINST

LOCUST'S

IS INTENSIFIED

London, May 20.

The peoples of three Continents are fighting an active war in the Near East against an enemy hated since the days of John the Baptist.

The enemy is the desert locust, which threatens to eat up precious food crops and bring widespread famine.

The desert locust is the heaviest eater and most clusive of locusts: Swarms of the yellowish, three- inch insects covered huge areas of Iran and Trans jordan with eggs and when these batch out beginning in late May they may bring the most disastrous in- vasion of the Middle East in this century.

Years For Men Who Beat Up

And Knifed Victim

Sentence of seven years' imprisonment with hard labour was passed by Mr Justice Williams at the Criminal Sessions this morning on Wong Tsai, 24, and Wong King-cheung, 30, both from Tien- tsin, who were unanimously found guilty by a jury' of four women and three men of wounding with intent to murder. They were alleged to have taken part in the beating up, stabbing and stoning of Yang Hoi-sing, aged 34, also of Tientsin.

It was stated by Mr Patrick Yu, Crown Coun- sel, when he opened the case that it appeared that the complainant was at one time a Police informer and had done some injury to the two men by giving certain information to the Police.

The complainant was dis- covered by Pak Yung, conk employed at Ricci Hall, on the hilde
