damage done in Amoy was mostly caused by serial bombs. The shells from the warships were not very effective. Just before they left Amoy a few days ago three war- ships had been in operation pour Ing shells into the city. They Heard a story that one of these ships-all destroyers-had beon

sunk by Chinese planes. The ac- tual sinking was supposed to have been seen by a Chinese fishing vessel who brought back the news to Amoy that the warship nose-

terrible. dived and sank after a explosion. This was followed by

on Intensive bombardment and bombing by Japanese planes dur- ing which several government and other buildings were hit, although with not very much effect, as no wounded were brought to the Hope Hospital.

There has been до general evacuation

foreigners from Amoy. Some mothers with small children have left for the Philip pine Islands and others who were due for leave have gone back to their homes. There are still just a few left.

OLDEST MISSIONARY Among those who arrived in Hong Kong recently and left yes- terday was Miss Kam Talmage, the cldest missionary in China, Born in Amoy, Miss Talmage, who is now In her 84th year, is the daughter of the late Dr. Talmage who him- self had been a missionary in Amoy for the greater part of his life.

Miss Talmage was thus possessed of an excellent command of the language. For years she did splendid educational and literary work and also spent much of her Lime visiting the homes and preaching Christianity.

In later years she was a great source of comfort to the sick, visit- ing the hospitals and Speaking words of peace and encouragement to the dying, and distressed, many of whom she had known from childhood. Nothing used to delight this grand old lady than to see her. converts bring their children and grand children to visit her.

I asked to be allowed to see Miss Talmage in order to learn from her own lips something of her CO years' labour in China in the cause of Christianity, but was told i that she was unable to receive any: visitors.

"You can imagine how this war and the brutalities and sufferings which have accompanied it, have upset Miss Tolmage," said her chief nurse. "It was indeed a sad bust- Tess for her who loved Amoy and its people so well to see the city thus destroyed." she added.

"Another missionary from Hainan said he had not seen of the bomb- ings there although he had heard stories, but he had just received

a letter from a colleague stating that Japanese planes had been re- connoitering on the east side of the island almost every day for a long time. There had been no bombs dropped and the impression of for- eigners was that the planes were surveying the countryside and coast for future activity. planes had been particularly active around Kachek.

The same letter gave information of the sinking of innumerable junks by Japanese destroyers. This had resulted in an enormous rise in the prices of foodstuffs.

The body was removed to the Kowloon Mortuary.

In a soft volce, the general ex- pounded his doctrine of Asia for. Asiatics "in view of the encroach- ments of Europeans and Ameri- cans on the continent of Asia." His mission in Canton was to over- come anti-Japanese sentiment and to plead for a better understand- ing of Japan.
