Amid the urgent pressure of Saturday's travail the staff of this journal had the additional sorrow of learning thai among the killed in the air-raid on Nanking Road was Mr. A. Williams who for many years had been the Accountant of the "North-China Daily News". Mr. Williams' death is deeply regretted. He normally would not have been in office so late as afternoon but the heavy increase in work involved by the. crisis impelled him to delay his departure with the result that he was waiting for his bus in Nanking Road just when the air raid occurred. To his widow, who is unhappily lying sick ft the Country Hospital, the sympathy of all his colleagues by whore he was held in high esteem is respectfully tendered. His cheerful good and loyal devotion to his work will be gratefully remembered
