Shanghai is the centre of at- traction. It is the magnet which attracts the greedy militarists, and the visit of Sir Miles Lamp- son at this opportune moment is doubly welcome, because we are n community facing' one of the greatest crises over confronting the Settlement:

Yesterday there was a violent shower which had the most dis- astrous results. Roads were bad- ly damaged, bridges were ruined, and in some cases washed away entirely. The swimming pool (Russian valley) was completed filled with rocks and sand, the dressing rooms were completely wrecked, and the trees were up- rooted.
