The victim received the blows on the back of his neck, but was not laid out. He struggled with his assailant, and after a time, the latter, unable to use a strangle-hold effectively, had recourse to what in tioned as the "apache's classic one report of the crime, was men- blow."

The dismissal by the Clyde Lighthouse Trust of Mr. Norman Shaw because of his refusal to undertake certain duties for a wireless test in Toward Light- house on the Sabbath continues to be the subject of a keen con- troversy in Scotland. Since the matter was raised in the House of Commons by Mr. Macquiston, the threatened dismissal has been carried into effect, and Shaw has

Unlucky Cadets.
When a batch of graduates from the Whampao Military academy returned here on Sunday from the North, a sad tale was related of their ill-luck in Nanking. Among these cadets were a son of General Chen Ho-yuk and a brother of General Chu King-tong, both well- known commanders in Canton.
Shortly after the graduates ar- rived at Nanking, Marshal Chiang, the President of the Academy, gave up his command. The officers of the cadets found that Nanking Was not comfortable for them and followed the Marshal to Shanghai.

Shaw is a typical Highlander and a native of the Island of Harris, where the old Sabbath traditions are still strictly main- tained. He is a member of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, one of the smaller of the Scottish sects, which is not of course, to be confused with the Free Church of Scotland, popu- larly known as the "Wee Frees."
