Three bleycle riders, a ricksha driver and a Chinese boy, aged 13 years, were injured as the result of collisions between vehicles.

Now that the Lengue Assembly has resolved that a conference of the signatory powers of the Nine-Power Treaty be called and that it will meet at the end of this month at Brussels, we as non-combatants may wonder now what's to come out of it. Will it be another paper resolution ns high-sounding as it is futile, or will the Sino-Japanese War receive check by the united will of the Powers assembled? Will it be another causes, other offering of pious 31p-service, or w it actually apply economic sanc- tions to our aggressor? These are the questions that must puzzle us
