Further developments in the scheme of reorganization for the Shanghai Municipal Police formulated by Major Gerrard are seen in the recent appointments made. The ideal scheme is one in which the police are Deputy Commissionrs, and as such directly responsible to the Commissioner, and it seems that the local force is gradually approaching this arrangement.
As now constituted, the force is commanded by Major Gerrard, Commissioner. Next to him comes Captain R. M. J. Martin, now designated Extra Commissioner. Mr. M.'O. Springfield is now Deputy missioner, in charge of sions: Major K. M. Bourne, Me, ig Deputy Commissioner in charge of Armed and Training Reserves, and Mr. RE. Aiers is Deputy Com-joner in charge of the Crime and Special Branches.
