EUROPEANS ROBBED,

"THEFTS FROM TWO KOW- LOON DWELLINGS.

Two burglaries occurred in| Nathan Road, Kowloon, on Mon- day night, the Grat at the home of Mr. S., H. Leseby, at No. 3, and the second at that of Captain A. Corballs, of the Somerset Light Infantry, at No. 9. In both cases. access to the houses was effected by means of an open window, and the indications seem to go to show that the robberies are the work of an organised gang.

While Mr. Losoby was asleep a burglar.or burglars slimbed up to the open bedroom window, and opening the drawer of the dress- ing table extracted a pair of gold buff links and $80 in cash; whilo aerocodile-leather travelling clock and $2 in cash were taken from the dressing table.

Up to late last night there wAS no definita clue as to the identity of the burglars, but it is thought that the same gang may be at work that robbed the houses of Mr. A. T. Hamilton and Mr. Edmonds in Hongkong recently.

The Recused man in this latter case it will be recalled, told the police that he would take them to the address of the head of the gang. This he did, but on arrival of the police at the dress in Kowloon it was found that the wanted man had disappeared. The methods used in the two robberies on Monday are said to have been identical with those employed in the Hongkong burg-

BOLSHEVIST PLOTTING IN EGYPT EXPOSED.

Cairo, Apr. 30. The Egyptian authorities have unmasked a serious attempt by the Soviet to establish a centre of Bolshevist propaganda in Egypt, under the cloak of an agency called the Textile Imports, Limit- ed, which the Soviet was allowed to establish two year aga, în Alexandria, to purcliase cotton.

Subsequently, after the arrival of one Alexia VasilieT as manager of the agency, the purchases of cotton declined. When the agency engaged a certain Hugo Rudolf instead of a local cotton expert, the authorities made an enquiry, and

It appears that Rudolf was really Rudolf Pinnis, a brother of Edward Pinnis, head of the "Sortorgot," Constantinople. Let- ters from the latter were found on him, proving that the main object of the Soviet colion agency was to promote the cause of Bolshevism.
