The object of the committee is the civilian masses of Chinese to supply bandages, Int, cotton- cities by aerial bombs, sympathy wool, lodine, etc. with the sufferers is steadily grow- ing in this colony.

That is only to be expected for such deeds under whatever guise they might be practiced, cannot deceive the modern world. What is uppermost in the minds of all peoples to-day is that thousands of non-combatants are being ruth- lessly slaughtered and maimed, probably for fe, while thousands of others are being driven out into the open air while their homes and "all their possessions are being reduced to so much debris.

DESIRE TO HELP

"For this purpose funds are ur- gently needed." sald Miss Carter. We also wish to assist the bandage making centres, which have re- cently turned out over 16,000 bandages. The need ly great and we sincerely hope that funds will be forthcoming "both generously and quickly."

CO-OPERATION SOUGHT Donations can be sent to the

MERCHANT SHIP SIGNALLING

Extracts from the reports ren- dered by HM. ships of signalling practice with British merchant vessels for the quarted ended March 31, 1937, show that a total of 1:199 successful exercises were "carried out, and there were nine failures to establish communica- tion. This total is not only higher than that for the previous quarter (1.154), but much higher than that jor the corresponding period of 1936, when it was 954. The cruiser Dorsetshire and Botilla leader Bruce, "enroute from China England, had 108 and 71 successful exercises respectively; and

Navigation Company, 85; the Ellerman Lines. 83; and the P. & O. Company, 69. These figures do not indicate com- parative signal efficiency as between different companies, as the op- portunities for signalling with II.M. ships are so varied.
