There is another side to it. The occu-

Benniweg has been trying 10 break up

family lived very comfortably on Ham
stre's pension from Holland, he being a
retired officer of the Dutch army.
The trouble came when Annie, who was

spread to different sections. There was
quite scattering among the people and
great many removed their homes 10 the

as a two hours ride could take them.
This is called the bubonic plague te-
cause of breaking out in the arm pms and

that infested Hongkong two years ago.
