On Septem- ber 25, 1814, eleven men left on board, the M. M. Es. Polynesiën, and although the departure of the tender Whangpoo from the Frenca Bund was timed for 3 o'clock that afternoon, crowds carrying British and French flags had gathered long before that hour.

The men who so gallantly an swered their country's call were all prominent local athletes. who could both ride and shoot. They were Messrs. T. C. Vernon, Hugh Martin (then of Messrs. Ilbert & Co, but now a local sharebroker) R. W. Wingrove, F. R. Barry: V. H. Davies, A. S. Campbell, G. Brown, Bostock (of Hankow), C. A. Peake (who was then with the Municipal Electricity Dept, and is now with the Shanghai Power Co.), E. E. Creasy, and Dr. D. N. Mac- Leod. The enthusiasm on the jetty reached a climax when the tender began to move away, stated the "North-China Herald" at the time, and the men left with the strains of the National Anthem and "Rule Britannia" ringing in their ears. By the same tender, a number of French reservists left or France, and they too, were accorded a hearty send-off "The Marsellaise" was being sung at one end of the Jetty, and God. Save the King" at the other.

BAPTISM OF FIRE

The Polynesien actually took the first party homie, but the largest octingent went on the Suva Maru, which left Shanghal on October 17, 1914. Seven thousand people had assembled on the foreshore to bid good-bye to the 110 men who made up the Shanghai British volunteer contingent, so, that by 8.30 a.m., when the tinder Alexan- dra left the Customs Jetty, it was almost impossible to walk along the Bund. As an example of the tremendous enthusiasm that pre- valled, the "North-China Herald"

that data relates:---

LIVELY DEMONSTRATIONS

"Some members of the Fire Bri- gade, who were in full dress uni- form for the occasion, went out in style in a funk with a Union Jack at the mast, and got themselves attached to a launch which towed them down after the Alexandra (L which the main party travelled)." Their passage down the river was made lively by demonstrations from the shipping and the wharves. Flags and motioes were displayed everywhere, while a musical genius

Two further parties, each of about thirty men, quickly followed. on the ss. Aisuta Maru on October 30, and on the ss. Nubla on Novem- ber 17. Many never returned, and Shanghai honours their memory with the Cenotaph on which, with the pessibility of an- o her war before, Armistice Day, assumes an even more poignant the significance.

In a letter written to a friend in Shanghal, one of the volunteers mentioned that they received their baptism of fire when they hao gut no further than Hong Kong. Un leaving the buoy, he wrote

Nanking, Sept 10, The convention of the Nationa Judicial Conference at Nanking has for the first time brought together à distingushed assembly of Chinese jurists for deliberation on various «judicial reforms. One of the fea- tures of this conference is that with the exception of Sinklang and Yunnan, the far-flung trontier provinces, all the provinces in China are being represented, which indicates a step forward towards the unification of the judicial $75- tem in this country.

Another feature is that besides topics which have direct bearing upon the functioning of the judi- clal machinery. the Conference has also listed on the agenda subjects elating to the present law codes- governing present-day society. " China.
