Startling revelations of poverty and overcrowding are contained in the fifth annual report of the Society for the Protection of Children, to be presented at the annual meeting at the Helena May Institute on Tuesday

next.

During the year under review, there were reported to the Society 960 cases affecting the welfare of 2,182 children, the number of cases being larger than that for the previous year by forty-two. Once again, the Western District, where the tenements are oldest and least hygienic, and the density of population is greatest, produced the highest number of cases-359, while Kowloon provided 321 and Eastern Hongkong, 280. In only a few cases was it found, upon enquiry into the means of the parents seeking relief, that the help of the Society could not reasonably be given.

It is alleged that the accused belong to a secret organisation affiliated with the Nazi Party in Germany, They are also charged with acts of terrorism against so-called "traitors." Seven of them are actually held for murder.
