PRIVY COUNCIL AND THE EMPIRE.
MAN'S "BREACH" CLAIM.
LADIES AT OLYMPIA.
[TROK OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]..
LONDON, October 30th. The great legal dispute which has been proceeding for twenty years between to the Canada and Newfoundland as ownership of some 100,000 square miles of coast and hinterland in Labrador is engaging the attention of the Privy Council in London, as the final Court of Appeal. It is said on authority that £200,000 has already been spent on the dispute, which will occupy the Privy Council for weeks. The bearing is taking place in an unpretentious room in Downing Street; but despite the modest surroundings it is the most august tribunal in the world in respect of its status and jurisdiction. It hears
appeals in the last resort from all parts of the Empire, and has to decide cases not baly in English, Roman, Dutch and French Canadian law, but in the cus tomary systems of innumerable native races throughout the British realm.
It requires only a little imagination to sed in the trial now proceeding the golden threads of romance. Sir John Simon is appearing at the head of ar array of counsel for Newfoundland, and in his opening speech there were alla CANTON & MACAO sons to the Hudson's Bay Company and the early history of Canada which made a tale of stirring adventure. Yet there STEAMERS.
were scarcely a dozen visitors in the Court at a time when London is parti- cularly crowded with sojourners from all parts of the Empire.

ANTI-FOREIGNISM · IN
SZECHUAN.
MASSES NOT UNFRIENDLY.
KUOMINTANG INFLUENCE BAD..
Reports continue to come into local mission offices regarding the anxiety felt in certain parts of Szechuan by mission workers in that province, says the N-C, Daily News. From these reports, how- ever, it can be ascertained that 'only a faw cities are the focal points for anti- foreign and anti-Christian feeling and that the great mass of people are not un- friendly except when under the influence of student, Kuomintang and labour union propaganda. Eastern Szechuan reports indicate quite clearly that mis sion workers in many towns are free to walk about unmolested in the streets and carry on their work without unpleasant- ness of any kind. When they appear in the streets they are referred to merely as Gospel Hall folk and beyond that no notice is taken of them.
Chengtu, however, is considered the sore spot in Szechuan as far as student
and pro-Red disturbances are concerned. On October 8th the local Labour Union had a procession there and tried to rush the quarters of one of the missions. Fortunately for the inmates of the com- pound, the inside doors had been securely fastened at the time and the premises could not be entered. At another com pound, in the same city one person at least fared less fortunately. This was the Chinese gate-keeper who was taken by the marauders, and emerged with his face painted bright red, his cap turned
round as a sign of humiliation and the foreign slave painted on his words back. He was paraded through the streets and special attention called to his condition in front of the various mission quarters.

One of the teachers developed effective powers of oratory and declared that students in Christian schools were taught: to be good citizens, to take an interest in what was good for the country and to appreciate discipline. The teachers in mission schools, he continued, worked hrd for the good of the students. When

But it is seldom indeed that one bears of a breach of promise-action in which the mere man appears in the role of plaintiff. Few men-such is the shyness of the male sex-have the boldness to come into Court and publicly parade their grievances against a woman.
