STRIKING PEN PICTURE OF CHIANG KAI-SHEK

Japanese Have Made Good His Every Objective

In a recent article to the “Spectator," Mr. Peter Fleming gives au excellent pen picture of the Generalissimo and his greatness. Chiang is 52 and was born at Chikow in Cheklang, his parents were farmers and substantial people: his, father died when he was a boy of eight.

In the old days Cheklang suffered a good deal from the depreda tions of Japanese pirates; and the Japanese, tell you, by way of "a joke, that Chiang must have had one of these pirates for a father, for no Chinese could put up the kind of show he has.

This story is worth mentioning. They would like to kill him, but because it gives an idea of the re-can't; they would like to beat him spect, which intelligent Japanese decisively, but can't; they would entertain, however reluctantly, for like to buy him, but can't; they the Chinese Leader

Drugs Ordinance, 1935, authority having been obtained from the Becretary of State for the payment of fixes and estreated ball in dangerous Arug cases into a special account. The object of the amendment is to authorise the same procedure for disposal of fines and estreated ball In cases arising under the Danger- us Drugs Act, 1935, as it is at pre- sent followed in cases arising un- der the Oplum Ordinance, 1932, but In the new section of the Danger- aus Drugs Ordinance the words "the Court or" are inserted before the words "a magistrate", to cover any case in which the ball may be estreated by the Supreme Court and not by a magistrate.
