re-

Mr. Wang Ching-wei has "disappeared without trace"; and his present whereabouts are a complete mystery. Many believed that the calcitrant Prime Minister hari left for Hangchow, but others state that he is still somewhere in the vicinity of Shanghai, that he could not have gone to Hang- chow without being observed,

His absence and silence generally interpreted as indicating the firmness of his intention of resigning his post, though no effort is being spared to find him in the hope of inducing him to change his mind.

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

London, Aug. 11.

LONDON HAS BEEN SWELTERING to-day in a spell of tropical weather, with a temperature of 88 degrees in the shade and 135 in the sun. It was the highest temperature for nearly two years, since August 29, 1930, in fact, when the thermometer soared to 93.

Remarkable scenes were witnessed. Large queues formed at all the swimming baths and pools, where hat- less and freely perspiring City workers snatched an opportunity for a bathe during the luncheon hour.

Thousands lined up at Lansbury's Lido in Hyde Park for a swim in the cool waters of the Serpentine. Dress reformers, particularly among the younger generation, were in abundance.

Beach pyjamas became quite common as street attire as the day wore on.

The menfolk were not far behind, though a trifle less unorthodox. Drill suits, palm beach suits and plain shirts were fairly abundant and a few pith helmets were seen in the West End..

SWELTERING PHILOSOPHICALLY

London, in fact, while only too conscious of the fact! that they were in the hottest place in the British Isles, endeavoured to make itself as comfortable as possible in the circumstances and sweltered philosophically.

In the evening, when the heat had abated only very slightly, every open space was crowded and moonlight bathing parties were extremely popular. On the whole, the crowds seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the situa tion, despite their complaints.
