A new and little-known provision in the Divorce Law enables a hus- band or wife to have the narringe dissolved on the ground that the other party to the marriage must be presumed to have died.

LATE HIS MAJESTY'S AMBASSADOR AT BERLIN

"... This is a people's War and therefore it is only right that the people themselves should be told the whole truth."

WITH

WITH these words Sir Nevile Henderson, late His Majesty's Ambassador at Berlin, begins exclusively

in the "HONGKONG TELEGRAPH" on Monday next, his. own first-hand account of what actually happened in Nazi Germany from the time he arrived in Berlin in April, Here, 1937, to the fateful day of September 3, 1939. PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME; is Sir Nevile Henderson's own story-simply and vividly written of the tremendous events which led eventually to the outbreak of war. This is NOT a summary of an official document but a specially written personal narrativo in which many new and important facts are disclosed. Hitler, Gooring, Ribbentrop, Goebbels, Himmler-what manner of men are the masters of Nazi Germany? The Ruhr, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland! What really went on behind the scenes? Sir Neville Henderson now reveals to the world THE WHOLE TRUTH. This remarkable document-probably the most important ever to be published in a newspaper--- will appear in the "HONGKONG TELEGRAPH"--starting on Monday, April 22.

The boys lined up again, marched off to their billets.

The line stopped. In the street where the boy lived. He was allot- fed o billet in that street.

He told the billeting officer, who arranged for him to go home.

This story was told at the Oxford the Incor- conference to-day of porated Association of Assistant Masters in Secondary Schools.

Schoolmasters at the conference harangued the Government, dc- nouneixi evacuation, and protested against overwork und under pay for three hours to-day.

43 In One House

Mr. R. P. Trueblood. of Manches- ter, evacuated to Binckpool, jumped up from a front row choir, shouted: "I object to the Government's re- gulation ot evacution, 'They've proved they can't do it,

"They found unsuitable schools. They ill-selected billeting officers, who made their own regulations to cover up their ignorance as to proper ones."

One of the teachers, who toted a grand plano around France on an Army Imber in the last war, was evacuated with his school to Black- pool when this one began. He said

to me:-

"They sent Us to professional Tandlodles One-womin-la-an averaged-sized house, took forly- three boys, expected them to sleep three in a bed. In another house found eight boys sharing one bed-

My wife and I and thirteen boys were bunged into one house. It's the first time in my life I've got out of bed at night to sit in a chair to rest. The beds were terrible."

New Camp At Kai Tak

For People Evicted From Insanitary Hovels

un-

Over 100 people have already set up their shelters in the new camp established by Government near the village at Ngau Tau Kok, beyond Kai Tak Aerodrome, for those who were recently evicted from authorised and..Jusanitary hovels in Kowloon City, and who do not wish to return to Chinese territory or go to the Pat Heung refugee camp, who have no funds to obtain accom- modation in tenement buildings.

or

Of those who have moved into the new camp, many have re-started thoir small industries, such as weav ing of hand towels, cic. The shelters built by the occupants themselves on sites marked out by the medical authorfiles and are well spaced for proper ventilation.

re

Owing to the scarcity of malting; temporary permission has been given to the occupants to construct their shelters in tin, but there is every probabllity that this will be replaced by matting before, the, hot summer months, for, the medical authorities are taking steps to devise a scheme for the loan of matshed materials Ito be financed from private funds placed at their disposal for the beneilt of this class of distressed people,

The authorities have furnished antisfactory pipe-borne water supply trom a protected spring in the hills, and adequate sanitary accommoda- tion. It is interesting to note that the inhabitants of the neighbouring village appear to be so impressed with the fatrine accommodation that they proposed to crect one themselves on the outskirts of the villege,
