Leper Colony in Chinese
Province xterminafed

Correspondence of The Associated, Press
Canton, China, July 15.-Julius A.
Kempf, a member Of the American
Reformed Presbyterian Church Mis-
sion at TAX Hing, on the West river,
in Shantung province, has advised the
American consulate here Of the COM
plete determination Of leper colony
near that mission by recent revolu-
tionary soldiers, and sought the as
sistance of the consul in preventing
recurrence of such barbarity.
The leper colony consisted Of thir.
teen unfortunates who made their
home on a houseboat on the West
river near a temple in which the SOL
diers were quartered. Without warm
ing the soldiers fired upon the house.
boat, killing ten of the lepers. Two
members of the colony jumped into
the river and started for the opposite
shore, but it is not known whether
they escaped death. One leper es-
capped into the hills. The soldiers
then burned the houseboat.
Mr.. Kempf and his associates had
been assisting the 1eper colony for
some time, supplying the sufferers
with food and endeavoring to better
their condition.

London's Soho District
Channed Since War BEGAN

fCorrespondence of The Associated Press,)
London, July Exchanged in many
WAYS is London since the war began,
hut nowhere is the transformation
more marked than in the cosmopoli-
tan district called Soho, in the West
End, within stones throw of Pic
cadilly Circus. Soho Is not the hust-
ling, merry place of pre-war days.
The great conflict has made it quiet,
almost lifeiess, for Frenchmen. Bel
gians, Italians, Germans and Aus
trians, who had their homes in Soho,
have gone.
The change is even more pro-
nounced in Charlotte street. The Ger
man chemists, German laundries,
German restaurants, German clubs
and German paper shops have gone.
There was. even Christliches Kell-
herheim Ia home for Christian wait
ers). 1t is closed now; there are no
German walters. German books have
been moved from the book sellers
windows; German signs have disap-
peared and certain shopkeepers are
at pains to announce that they are
French or Belgian firms.
The Belgians have lost their coun-
try for the moment, but they have
taken their revenge in Charlotte
street. There is no gainsaying their
victory there. Instead of the cafes and
restaurants with German signs, there
are establishments named after Bel
Eium.

Daddy, shat the whole Rabbit family
are famous for their curiosity. And
little White Spot was certainly no ex-

"White Spot was so named by his
Mother. He was almost entirely black.
He had a few white stripes on his

was round Spot of White. His Moth
