COMMANDEERING OF TAXES By MERCENARIES:

DISCONTENTED POLICE. Canton residents nave urged the local authorities-again to allot a portion" of their house-rent contributions to the war fund for the payment of arrears due to the members of the police force, who have boen from twell to Tour months without pay. Canton residents are uneasy these daya because of the refusal of the Red Army to observe the law, and the shoot jag of a policeman at Wing Hon Nam Loo laat Sunday evening by Reds, and the rescue of two prisoners by force from the Police Headquarters on December 15th, have provided more reasons to the that the civil

gesture or elaboratë subtlety, is required by Wish Wynne. She rejects all" arti- fcial means for that which is sincere and simple. No tinting is required for the delicats and tender portraits because they are presented by an artist who has come to understand original moods and habits and idiosyncracies, and who gives the audience untouched masterpieces."
