Wednesday of Mr. H. A. Thompson is matter of regret to readers of the North-China Daily News," inasmuch as he was a regular contributor to the correspondence columns. For the past decade or more the late Mr. Thompson had commented on current issues, under the initials H.A.T, He never had "an axe to grind," and his writing was clear, his logic convincing and his style excellent. In his letters he expounded certain views and never intended to raise an argument.
Mr. Thompson's funeral will be held in Bubbling Well Cemetery on Saturday at 3.30 pim. Three children, isabel, Ronald and Vida survive him.
