VIVID STORY OF KULING BOMBING.

HANKOW, Feb. 24.

AMERICANS ARRIVING from Kuling to-day, reported that Japanese planes on January 19 dropped leaflets in English stating: "A conference of the Japanese army, navy and Third Power au- thorities, has decided that henceforth you are regarded as separated from your nationality, and united with Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore the Japanese army hereafter does not assume responsibility for your safety."

The Navy Want Better

Boxers

THE Navy want beller boxers--so a' six weeks' course for ratings (not Royal Marines) is to be held at Portsmouth, beginning March 6. –

Admiralty Fleet orders say: "The object of the course is to teach ratings who are already proficient boxers themselves the art of imparting their know- ledge to others, thus raising the standard of boxing throughout the Service."

That the track was fast, was evidenced by the fact that of the five races before the tiffin adjournment, three were in record time.
