The Manchester Guardian says that the function of the League is to secure justice for Abyssinin by putting such pencelul pressure on Italy as, combined with the pres- sure of the campaign itself, and her precarious position in Europe, will bring the war to an end.

On October 9 and 10, the Kowloon-Canton Railway carried Canton. Of these passengers 22,- 27,662 passengers to and from

This is easily a record for the Railway, the previous figures for two days being on May 4 and 5 this year, when Jubilee traffic up and down amounted to 16,705 paa- sengers, 14,681 of whom travelled from Canton to Kowloon,

On Thursday the number of up passengers to Canton totalled 12, 713, which exceeded the previous maximum figures in one direction obtained on May 5 this year by over 40 per cent,

· Rumours Discounted

Shanghai, Oct. 11. The Leith-Ross loan rumour is entirely discredited in well- informed quarters and excites the derision of financiera, who point out that Sir F. Leith-Ross went to China with an open mind and with no preconceived plan of any sort. It is most unlikely that he is authorized to make such a pro- posal.

Great Britain is still bound by the Consortium not to lend China independently of it. A loan is impossible except by public sub- scription, aboht which no bank has yet been consulted. Chinese interests told Reuter's correspon- dent that they attribute the report 11/10% to a powerful group of Chinese gamblers, thus causing a most unfavourable impression in Lon- don.-Reuter.

Cream guards the Danger Line.

Your teeth should be a source of joy to you not of constant fear. Pyorrhea, bleeding gums and decay are genuine throats. Along the Danger Lino, where teeth meet gums, tiny crevices trap food particles which ferment and form GERM ACID, a direct cause of tooth decay and gum irritation, But Squibb's Dental Cream, an ANTACID, makes Germ Acid harmless by counteracting it. Squibb's also cleans perfectly without grit, and prevents bleeding gums because it contains no irritating aubstances. Uso Squibb's' Dental Croam, seo your dentist twico year... and quit worrying.
