ROBBERS IN KOWLOON.

DASTARDLY ATTACK ON EUROPEAN LADY.

The pepper-throwing bag snat char appears to be transferring his operations from Hongkong to Kowloon, no doubt by reason of -* the strict measures taken by the G.S.P. to rid the island of this

kind of pest. We have hardly gone a couple of months since a lady was attacked on her way to Kowloon Ferry before we have to record another case. "Last night, at 7.50 p.m. as a lady living in Victoria View was making her, way from the ferry to her re- sidence, she was attacked by a Chinese just as she was entering the Hankow Road gateway to Victoria View. The man hit the lady in the face smashing ber time glasses and at the same throwing a quantity of pepper into her eyes. He then attempted to snatch the lady's bag but failed to get away with it since the article was attached to the wrist by the strings.

The lady promptly gave the alarm. but she might hava screamed the whole night with- | out receiving assistance since there Was not a policeman within call. This sort of thing cannot be allowed to Su on. When

The policing of Kowloon is totally inadequate to meet the every growing increase of population.

are allowed to roller skate about the streets to the general danger of pedestrians. motor cars and cycles turn Nathan Road into a race track-and yet nothing is done. Certainly attacks of Eur- opeans ladies at eight o'clock in the evening should be rendered impossible.
