ONLY THEORY

This unfortunately, was only theory as yet, but if some day the opportunity for reorganisation presented itself, he hoped st would be carried out on those, lines. For the present, they were assured of enough supplies, but personnel was lacking. This lay in the wrong medical policy that had been laid down, and if they were sincere and put their efforts properly, they would get hold of a large number of doctora and nurses to go to the front

Continuing on the need for or ganisation Dr. Li said they in Hong Kong had materials. they had sent them on, but where were they going? They had sent doc.. tors these did not know where to go. Organisation must be perfected. Ther as leaders of the medical profession in South China, held the key. First of all. they must push. the Government. If the authorities would not more, then they must act, make" their com plans, appoint their own organiser. Support would forthcoming. money "would subscribed. Of that he had doubt.

were exposed to the Japanese He himself had been expelled from Shanghal when the Japanese took over. He was anxlous to go back to the front and had made attempts to do so, but had been sent down here as liaison officer with the League of Nations medical experts who are coming. He was leaving för Can- -ton the following day (to-day) for consultation with the authori- tles, and he hoped that in about a month they would have evolved at least a skeleton plan from which to work.

WONDERFUL MORALE

BADMINTON IN SHANGHAI

Season To Begin Soon

LEAGUE REDUCED

The badminton season is to com- mence shortly. Owing to the with drawal of the Portuguese, the S. M. Police, the Swiss Club, the Power Company, and the Cathedral Club, league competition has been reduced to. four divisions only. In which there will be the senior and funlor men's sections, the ladies and the mixed serles.

Only three teams have entered for the men's Arst division, one each from the Cercle Sportif Francals, the Union Church, and the Shanghat Race Club. The second division also

comprises three teams, two from the Cercle Sportif Francais (a British team and an International team), and one from the Union Church.

Competition in the ladies league will again include three teams, one each from the Conntry Club. the Cercle Sportif Francals, and the Unlon Church. Four have joined in the mixed doubles, one represent ing the Country Club, two the Cercle Sportif Francats (also one British and one International team), and one the Union Church.

Due to the small number of en- tries, three matches will be played in all groups of the league this season. The senior men's matches will take place every Monday, the mixed every Tuesday, the junior men's every Wednesday, and the ladies every Thursday.

PROPECTS OF THE SEASON During the past two years this game has made rapid strides in popularity. Two interports have already been held. Shanghai sent a representative side to Tientsin last year" with the latter city paying 'a returned visit later in the season. On both occasions Shanghai wos premier laurels by rather wide margins. It is, of course, too early to foretell anything in regard to the port-to-port engagement. But every effort will be made to keep the annual matches going so that every badminton player has some- thing to look forward to.

As regards playing material in Shanghai, the departure of P. H. Spagnoletti leaves a vacancy in local interport ranks which will be hard to fill. Old-timers such as A. G. Melse, W. H. S. "Stick" Duff.. and J. G. Forbes are still available while a number of first-rate recruits like Lewis Carson and C. C. Squires should strengthen Shanghai's pro-

weas.

DIPLOMAT'S FATAL

ENNUI

Dr C. S. Mel was full of praise for the Cantonese soldiers at the front. He said their discipline and mcrale were wonderful, Their high officers thought much -of-them-and-were very particular that the wounded did not mix with other soldiers, as they were atra'd their exceptional spirit might be lowered, by contamina- tion with slackers or cowards He backed up Dr. Li's plea for organisation, saying that the transportation of the wounded in Herg of Miss Victória Backville- particular was of great im-West's book about her grand- portance.

LACK OF EQUIPMENT

Dr. Edwin Kam confined hini- self almost solely to highly tech- nical comments on medical work at the front, describing wounds, operations performed sometimes under extreme difficulties, and the lack of equipment. ' He was glad that the Overseas Chinese from California. had supported the Association in the way they did. giving about $20,000 worth of material. and he understood that four doctors were coming here to tender their services.

Dr. Kain added a story which of the

TOC H BIRTHDAY

FESTIVAL

(Contioned from Pure 11

The city will be a convenient centre for representatives of units in Yorkshire. the North of Eng- land generally. Scotland, and Ire- land. These are to be the only members present at this year's festival, with the exception of de- legates from the ninety new bran- ches

Viscount Halifax, Lord Middle- ton, and the Rev. P. B. ("Tubby") Clayton, founder padre of Toe H will speak at the festival gather- ing this evening. Lord Halifax, acting on behalf of the King, who Is Toc H patron, is to light the bronze Lamps of Maintenance for the ninety newest branches. Over twenty of the branches are over- seas-in India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Jamai- ca, and Mauritius.

CHAIN OF LIGHT

This year the symbolic World Chain of Light, an" annual part of the Toc ritual, coincides pre- cisely and happily with the festi- val week-end at York. Yearly, on the birthday of the movement, all Toc H branches light their Lamps at 9 p.m. by their own time. As the clock varies from East to West around the globe. anyone could take a bird's eye view of the

The chain starts this year in India. By a curious chance the first lamp to be it in Calcutta Cathedral at 9 p.m. (local time) on December 11 is that which Lord

of

Halifax himself presented to Toc H in India during his term as Viceroy. At once, as the chaln passes round the world, it reminds Toc members everywhere their primary tasks, personal ser- rice by each man and the promo- tion of understanding classes and nations. In due course the 2,000 members assembled at York will add their link.
