An incident occurred on Friday in one of the Public Lecture Rooms jin Wuctang which shows how bold the communists are ge: ting in this centre. One of the lecturers was! [Speaking in the Hall on the Liang /Tao-kai on the evils of communism chen two men in the audience opened fre on him, He was tit in the shoulder and Zell, and one of che men then walked up and shot Ihim dead...

Some time ago the Bureau of Education here issued orders that students in all schools were to disperse to their homes for the summer holidays, Any student who, by reason of distance to his home or Jof interrupted communications, could not leave was to furnish focal guarantor and to undertake never to be out after 8 pam. Tt was. announced that any misconduct by Jsuch students would be punished by martial law, On Saturdry night one Jof the military police on duty outside the Tsag-tsou Middle School in the Chien Chia Kini heard sounds of lively conversation in the build~ ings and communicated with his superiors. The building was surrounded and 83 persons arrested. But on investigation it was found that tke school buildings are undergoing repair and that the workmen who were sleeping on the pre-mices and the few students still in residence were simply cracking jokes together as the night was too tot to allow of sleep. Seventy-zix of those arrested at once furnished Jruaraniees and were released and the others are held for identifica: tion.
Tre local authorities are said to: be on duty night and day and their vigilance is certainly remarkable as their methods are drastic. Communist handbills were thrown from the roof of the Chung-nan Hotel on the Maloo a few days ago, and as che result the management has been enough time to disperse its guests and the tetel has been seal-Jed up for a time. Public executions fare also frequent.
Sixteen men were decapitated she road at the back of the ex-Ger~ man (Concession on Saturday morn-near the premises of the International Export Ca. Tie bodies were left there for some tite and ladies on the way to the Race Course had an unpleasant time passing, this place. Three others were shot yesterday at the corner of the ex-British Concession were the yuen Theatre used to stand.

When the police entered the [youths tried to bolt, but the girls told them to stay and take tke consequences with them, After careful consideration of the situation the fathers and sisters of St. Columban's Mission have decid-jed to leave Hanyang for a time. The sister have their premises inside the city, but the fathers secur-Jed a large property in the valley fat the foot of the Tortoise Hill, across the till from the Ironworks.
This has been developed into a busy Jeentre of Christian activity and a féclightful place for spiritual treats and it is " pity that it has to be left even for a time, Some of the Fathers had an unpleasant experience on Feiday last when their ear was running out [along the Hsimanloo in the neighbourhood of the Union Hospital. The car came in contact with a sha and the puller had both hi fees badly injured. The Fathers brought him to the Roman Catholic Hospital at once and arranged for all that is possible to be done, Dut relatives of the man are being urged bring a case against the Fathers in the Chinese Courts.
As an instance of the robberies Weick seem as frequent as ever, a man came into Hankow alonz the old Peking Road with a consignment of rice which he sold for $32. Re-
