Banditry, which for many years had been very rife throughout Kwangtung, especially in the East and North River Districts, had been practically suppressed during 1929, but the civil war between Kwangtung and Kwangsi during the last part of 1929 and the first four months of this year, which had necessitated all the troops be ing removed from these districts to proceed with the campaign in

Once again there are very few troops in the Province, practically the whole of the 6th and 8th Route Armies having been ordered to the North to re-inforce the Nationalist armies in their defence. against the Kuominchun Shanai invasion,

It is on this account that General Chan Ming-shu has given orders that each district magistrate is to take the matter up on his own, within his district, using his police to assist the local military.

A Burnley man, Tom Sutcliffe, drew Silver Flare in the Calcutta Sweep and sold a half-share for £3,000.

It is reported that the remaing of General Lui Woon-yim have been embalmed and will shortly be taken to Kwangsi to be buried at his native place at Luchuan.
