Kwangtung's town of Shekki has been subjected to so many, Japanese air raids recently, that the Chinese authorities there conceived the ingenious idea of desisting inhabitants to escape the bombs by erecting indicators pointing, the way to bomb-proof sheltera. This picture shows the method. The figure of a bomb is suspended over the doorway of the shelter, and a finger sign points to the entrance. Hundreds of people have benefited from this neat idea.

Tokyo on Wednesday sent a joint memorandum to the Japanese Foreign Office protesting against the Japanese spokesman's declaration that the Japanese have the right to assume the sovereignty of the foreign settlements in China.

These representations were parallel with those made by the United States during the previous week.

Secondly, they reminded the Japanese Foreign Office that before the outbreak of hostilities japan was always foremost in resisting Chinese Intervention in the foreign settlements.

Thirdly, the memorandum emphasised that even if Japan inherits the sovereign rights, which is not conceded, this does not grant the Japanese more voice in administering the settle- ments than the Chinese enjoyed.

Fourthly, the memorandum said that municipal authori- ties in the settlements are doing their utmost to eliminate the anti-Japanese intrigues in foreign areas and neutral settlements. -United Press,

stated that the present campaign is to bring Britain to her heels to secure her co-operation in Japan's plan to create a new order in East Asia.

The local Sino-Japanese political party is playing a prominent part in the public campaign, the slogans of which indicate Japanese objectives-"All Chinese have left the British Concession," "Don't deal with British shops or banks," "Take back the Concession," "To fight and down the National Government we must defeat Britain first," "British merchants are squeezing our blood and flesh.".

These slogans are widely distributed in North China, especially at Tientsin. Reuter.
