To the Editor of the "wNonru-CuINa Daty News."
Sta,—One cannet understand the mentality of a body of men agrecing, to the recommendation of the Contmandant, to allow service away from the Shanghai Volunteer Corps. to count towards the qualifying period -of service for the Corps' Long Service Medal. As one who was a member of the Board that drew up tke conditions of award I do emphatically protest against the action of the Council, at this late date, agreeing to the alteration thereby defeating, even the title of the decoration.
