Shanghai, Oct. 16. The attention of political circles

General Han Fu-chu, Governor of Shantung, one of the five provinces involved in Japan's North China autonomy scheme, arrived by train this morning from Tsinan to confer

The visit confrms the impression that General Han Fu-chu is pre-

pared to follow a policy, acceptable to the Central Government despite the recent attempts to extend the present "special" regime in the Hopei-Chahar provinces to Shan- tung.

The day when irritability, spondency and nervousness will be regarded with as much repulsion as an unwashed skin, because they will be recognised as preventable fils, is foreseen by Dr. Macpherson Lawrie, physician in psychological medicine to Queen Mary Hospital, London.

The Fire Brigade Officer charge of the fire reports that upon his arrival on the scene the fire was all but completely extinguished due to the energetic action taken by the Repulse Bay Hotel Manager, Mr. Semmler and his staff. Mr. Semmier had used 14 lengths of hose 11400 ft. from the, R.B.H. private hose, this action having de- finitely saved the other matsbeds by preventing the fire to spread...

The Hon, Inspector General of Police adds: "f take this oppor- tunity of conveying my congratu lations and thanks to Mr. Semmier and his staf for their successful efforts in reducing the extent of the fire."
