The Blue Shirts are reputed to be

Their activities in Hongkong are

A measure which public opinion has

shortly become law. Ever since the
establishment Of the independent state
in 1918 cases have from time to time
occurred in which persons occupying
nosts in the civil service and pubic
administration have been guilty OF con-
duct detrimental to the interests OF the
state if not directly reasonable.
The new law provides that persons
in the employ of the State or local au-
thorities, school teachers and university
professors. ministers of religion, reserve
pension or similar income out OF public
funds shall, If they indulge in activity

which may take the form OF summary
dismissal from their posts loss OF pen

It is improbable that this measure
will prevent certain extremists from in

discountenanced by any self-reSpect1ng
country, but it will no longer permit
them as is the case at present, to draw
an ample monthly salary from the
funds of the state they are designing to
injure.

Boulevard Lieutard at present there are
passing many vehicles used by the
maintenance department of the tram

outlying districts. The racket from
