COMING TO` HONGKONG

Canton, July 11. Another political surprise has been caused in Canton by the announcement that three high officials, Li Kit-chi (Comman- der of the Bocca Tigris Forts), Wong Tao (head of the First Kwangtung Army Arsenal) and Chang Kin (head of the Kwang- tung Military Hospital) have left for. Hongkong. The three officials jointly issued a pro. clamation addressed to General Chan Chai-tong, in which they explained their strong desire to see a civil war within China avoided.

The newly appointed Garrison Commander of Canton City, General Chan Wal-chow (brother of General Chan Chal-long) is a visitor now in Hongkong making a strong appeal to General Teal Ting-kal, former head of the Nineteenth Route Army, lo join the southern cause. Chinese newspapers report that General Toni Ting-kai may come to Canton with General Chan Wal-chow,

Still No Relief For United States

WATER SHORTAGE IN N.Y.: FOREST FIRE LOSS

New York, July 10.

The death toll in the United States heat wave still mounts. Over 370 have perished.

Nearly all the United States except northern New England continued to swelter in record-breaking heat to-day.

It is estimated that light rainfall may occur in the North-western states Sunday, but there is no sign of rain elsewhere.

As the thermometer reached 97 degrees this afternoon, Mayor La Guardia of New York City ordered all civic employees, except firemen and police, to leave their work for the remainder of the day in order to decrease the cases of prostration, which are most numerous amongst office workers.

A hundred thousand workers on public relief were also sent home after many had collapsed.
