Ma Sze, woman; said Wong was ber nicce whom she had left in the charge of defendant. In her opinion Wong was quite happy and content in the custody of the defendant and she was well treated. She had

very seldom seen the defendant angry.

Reason for Caning Explaining why she had struck Wong the defendant said. "I gave her a beating with a small ration because she soiled her trousers twice, once in the afternoon and once ut 4 o'clock the following morning. I always treated her as my own daugh- ter. I

She went to Shanghai in July but returned In October, Mr. Fraser then spoke of the vast amount of publicity that had been given regarding the matter of wards.

Winston Churchill Warns Dictators

Landon, June 26.

Mr. Winston Churchill, speaking last night at a National Service meet, Ing in Essex, said that 89 of every 100 square miles of the British Isles would be practically immune and safe from air attack. Dictator states, he said, could not pursue their course of aggression further without bring- Ing about a general war of measure- less devastation. The League ot Nations was being formed into a Grand Alliance, which would not under any circumstances attack the dictator powers or obstruct or ham- per their lawful prosperity or seek to deprive them of their legitimate share in expanding the future of the world, or shed blood, except in self-defence or in common detence. "There is no element of Imperial ambition on our part. No taunts, no wordy provocation, no affront to more pride, no insult, even, will tempt us into aggressive action,

"War on Inw and freedom will draw us into conillet. We must not do anything, or fall in

anything, which would encourage the Dieta- lors to suppose we are not ready with other like-minded countries to go to all lengths in doing our share of the common duty," declared the speaker.

PRAGUE, June 20-The German Criminal Court to-day passed sentence of 15 years imprisonment on two German policemen, charged with the manslaughter of a Czech policeman on June 11-Reuter.
