Shanghai Pubs

Good Military Objectives

To the Editor of the "Mobrh-Chrhn Dairy News"

Sm;—On your news page to day we read that the champion froth-blower made his speech in a Munich beer cellar, an ideal place to let off foam. On the next column we find news that a pub of Dicken's time was bombed by Germans. I do not know about London pubs but any Shanghai bar would be a military objective, as these are the places where amateur generals hang out to tell generalissimos how to carry on the war.
