Disease Not Serious Menace

The early establishment by the Government of a Leper Asylum for Hongkong-born lepers and the open- int of free clinics for treatment of sufferers are amongst the recom- mendations made by the Kowloon Residents Association, following an investigation carried out regarding the prevalence of the disease in the Colony and the measures whleh are. or should be, carried out to control or prevent the spread of the disease.

Madrid, July 27.

The pick of the Loyalist Army fought desperately on Madrid's western front to-day to check the most furious attack that Insurgents have made in more than a year of civil war. Italian troops, numbering 20,000, are reported to have joined the Moors, Foreign Legionnaires, Nationalist, Carlist and Fascist Spanish troops, as the climax of the battle nears.

General Francisco Franco, Insurgent commander-in- thereta from 29 local medical practi- chief, is at the front, personally directing the attack, and the battle has developed into the most important the war has yet produced. The Loyalist position is serious.

From the data furnished, the As- sociation has reached the following conclusions:

It is confessed frankly that the fate of thousands of the best men in the Government army, including members of the famous International Brigades, hinges on the success with which reinforcements hold back the Insurgent drive. Losses on both sides are frightful.

We are of opinion that the Lepers Ordinance No. 25 of 1935 passed by the Legislative Council on the 13th June, 1935, covers all the necessary legislation, except that relating to notification or registration commended hereunder.
