another big bootlegging deal, Sir Brodrick recently produced in his sales circular a photographic facsimile of a Guaranty Trust cheque for £23,000. It is believed that this money was paid by a wealthy American client of the London branch, but the directors declared that he had no right to publish such a document. The court ordered Sir Brodrick to cease the publication and circulation of the document. The other night three men called at the house of Mr. I. T. Hughes, the secretary of the Communist Party in Liverpool, while he was at a meeting, and informed his landlady that Mr. Hughes had been arrested. They were anxious, they said, to prevent his books from getting into the possession of the authorities. The landlady, unsuspectingly, handed over to the men all the books, and they at once went away. Mr. Hughes has made inquiries, but has not discovered the identity of the men. He has placed the matter in the hands of the Liverpool police. A column of luxurious limousines in a mean street in Paddington and a procession of poor, twisted creatures passing into St. Michael’s Church were indications of the latest faith-healing service conducted by Mr. J. M. Hickson. The majority of the sufferers were women and many of them young. The services are giving rise to much comment. The Bishop of Bristol states that: “Spiritual healing is a vast and complicated subject, and although I have been asked to sanction missions in this connection, I have not seen any way clear to do so, for I believe there is real danger in such public gatherings. Mass suggestion, especially if the result be disappointing, might have dangerous results.” Mr. Hickson, referring yesterday to some criticisms of the services, said, “There are many inside and outside the Church who are trying to discredit and trying to hinder this revival. They must see to it that they are not working against the Lord and standing between Him and the sick and suffering ones.” Only poor circumstances and ill health saved William Pell, from prison at Nottingham for burning the knuckles

The boys, when left in the house, put shavings and paper on the fire. Pell became angry and placed the boys’ knuckles on the hot grate, and burns were caused which took three weeks to heal. Pell’s defense was that his act was a precautionary measure to teach the boys not to play with fire, but the Bench held that his conduct was inexcusable. He was fined 20s. A girl who was walking down Scotch Street, Armagh, tripped on the broken footpath and tore her silk stockings. She put in a claim for another pair to the Urban Council, which has now decided to give her two pairs as compensation. Further mishaps to British war vessels are reported during the maneuvers which are being carried out by the Atlantic Fleet. Yesterday, off Weymouth, the submarines H29 and K2 collided, but were not seriously damaged, and they are parked in Portland. More serious appears to have been the collision of the merchant ship Princess Margaret with the Norwegian passenger vessel Marie Margaretha. The latter sank in twenty minutes, but the crew was saved and taken by the merchant ship to

Mrs. Thompson Wright, who was found unconscious on the Brighton beach, is still a subject of mystery. She is too ill to give any information to the police authorities, which are unable to trace her relatives; but it is understood that Miss Gladys Cooper recently took over her business in the West End, known as Madame Corinne’s. There she is said to have treated many society beauties. One story concerning her early life is that she lost her husband and two sons in one year. It has been determined that she may have stayed for twenty hours on the beach. She is presently in the Royal Sussex Hospital at Brighton. Net profits of £3,107,000 for the year ended June 30 are reported by J. and P. Coats, Ltd., the great cotton thread combine, as compared with £2,889,000 in the previous year. Dividends and bonus will be made up to 17 1/2 percent for the year, as before.

In addition, the company places £200,000 to dividend reserve, which received nothing last year. The fund was then £2,100,000, so that it will now be £2,300,000. Whether business generally is good or bad, makers of wireless apparatus report excellent progress. One London firm is doing more than 200 percent more business now than a year ago.

Several months of warfare of a more violent nature than ever before seen in that vast country resulted from a small and insignificant quarrel between warlords of Kiang-Su and Chekiang.

THE TOPIC OF THE DAY China's Future Hangs in Balance Hostilities in China have ended, for the moment at least. Several months of warfare of a more violent nature than ever before seen in that vast country resulted from a small and insignificant quarrel between warlords of Kiang-Su and Chekiang. The dispute became noisier; it involved the governorship of Shanghai, other provinces entered the lists and soon from Canton in the South to Mukden in the North, China was embroiled in a conflict that threw hundreds of thousands of men into the battle-line. With the capture of Shanghai by Kiang-Su troops, and the return of that city to the rule of the province in which it is actually located, a series of surprises was produced on this Oriental stage. General Wu-Pei-Fu, supporter of President Tsao-Kun, in Peking, and one of the most powerful military leaders in the country, led his forces against the invading armies of General Chang-Tso-Lin, the Manchurian war lord. The two were ancient enemies. Wu had already defeated Chang as recently as 1922. For a time the armies appeared at deadlock. Then Wu was reported to have won victories and was once more driving the Manchurians back to their own provinces, where he threatened to take Mukden. Followed swiftly the defection of Feng-Yu-Siang, the Christian General, whose coup d'état brought Peking under his control, the defeat of Wu between Feng-Yu-Siang's army and the Manchurians, Wu's flight by sea to other regions, the forced resignation of President Tsao-Kun, and the repatriation of the boy Emperor Pu-Yi from the Imperial Palace. Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, of Canton, joined with Feng; Chang started on the march to Peking to assure his share in the new government and a new Cabinet was hurriedly formed

Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, of Canton, joined with Feng; Chang started on the march to Peking to assure his share in the new government and a new Cabinet was hurriedly formed by Feng. Within a few days the entire situation had been completely reversed, radical changes had been introduced and the new leaders announced that permanent peace had at last arrived in China. For the moment this prediction appeared to be well founded. Never before had the military factions of China been so solidly leagued together after the defeat of one of the powerful warlords. Minor provinces, even though rebellious against the new rule, were in no position to make strenuous objection against Feng and his colleagues. And the Christian General, while pressed for time, formed a Cabinet that appeared to be closely wedded and agreed on working for the betterment of China. His Cabinet is composed of two main portfolios, that of the Prime Minister and that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. C. T. Wang is filling the latter post. He is a partisan of Feng, educated in the United States, a Protestant, a Liberal. The Prime Minister, Huang Fu, represented China at the Arms Conference at Washington and is a figure of national importance in his country. One member of the Cabinet is a partisan of Chang Tso-Lin and one of General Wu. However, rivalry has already sprung

One member of the Cabinet is a partisan of Chang Tso-Lin and one of General Wu. However, rivalry has already sprung up between Wang and the President. Jealousy regarding power and future control is evidenced at almost every meeting between the two. Various officials in Peking, of recognized standing, are criticizing the formation of the Cabinet, declaring that it was irregularly formed, and that the imprisonment of President Tsao-Kun is illegal. The arrival of Chang is awaited with some anxiety because it is an admitted fact that Feng organized his Cabinet as soon as possible in order to preclude Chang's influence. Should the Mukden war lord disagree with Feng, he will find many supporters in the capital. He is a Soviet partisan, as well as Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen. As a final note of discord, the removal of the Emperor is still echoing in several quarters. In view of these rivalries, jealousies, ambitions, and strong undercurrents of a purely political nature, China's future is hanging in a delicate balance that is far from the solid foundation that was first apparent.

In Paris and the Provinces; A sane man ten years in an asylum Jean Lemoine, ex-Librarian of War Ministry, Was Committed on Insistence of Wife. What would you do if you were suddenly examined by alienists tomorrow, declared insane, and shut up in a madhouse where you had no resources to defend yourself? You would probably stay there. M. Jean Lemoine, ex-librarian of the Ministry of War in Paris and a well-known scholar, stayed ten years. Appeals he wrote to his friends and relatives went unheeded. "They all have lucid moments," is what the doctors say in such a case. The idea that a sane man could be interned in an asylum for the insane was so extreme to them that it was just beyond their imagination. They thought that if M. Lemoine were there, he must be there for some good reason; they never troubled to investigate further. According to all testimony, M. Lemoine was a nervous person in 1913, but patient and gentle. He seems to have had some of the eccentricities that have come to be expected in scholars, but he never did anything at all violent. Perhaps he was not a very amusing husband. At any rate, one day his wife decided, with all the best intentions in the world, that he was mad. She called in analysts who agreed with her. Despite all his protests, M. Lemoine was placed under lock and key. At the beginning of this

At any rate, one day his wife decided, with all the best intentions in the world, that he was mad. She called in analysts who agreed with her. Despite all his protests, M. Lemoine was placed under lock and key. At the beginning of this year he was released against the lively protests of his wife. The guardianship of the scholar has been taken out of her hands. M. Lemoine is now suing to demand an accounting of his property. The confinement of M. Lemoine caused a great stir in 1913, and made such an impression on Anatole France that he was inspired by it to create the character of Sariette in “La Révolte des Anges.” In telling the story, the author showed a meticulous regard for the truth. Sariette, like M. Lemoine, was imprisoned on May 27. Passport Plotters Sentenced. The fifteenth Chamber of the Seine Tribunal sentenced men connected with the “passport-affair” scandal. It was a regular passport factory that the Russian Ivan Bonar, the Russian Petrowsky and the Hungarian Weber ran in Paris. The first of these men was arrested on September 5, caught red-handed. He had just given a forged passport to Petrowsky. The other two had several forged passports on their persons. The Russian was given eight months in prison; the others received three months each.

Revoiver Averts Duel Rang! Rang! and four other bangs rent, in approved fashion, the Parisian air that surrounded yesterday afternoon as it generally does, the Italian Consulate. Then, as usual, as they usually are, figures, tore, as might be expected, down the Street. Intrepid, it is believed, policemen, gays, generally, phase to the perpetrator of such an outrage. Whereupon it was discovered that Angelo Ferrara, obviously an Italian, was of a peaceable nature. He had been informed that a duel is impending in Italy between General Marini, Fascist, and General Garibaldi, anti-Fascist. Angelo has served during the war in the Garibaldi Legion, despite his peaceful inclinations. He is a devoted admirer of the Garibaldi family. He is an out-and-out Garibaldian. Hence, he smelled a rat in this proposed duel, vis-a-vis Fascism plotting against anti-Fascists, and the treachery that would result. Therefore, the duel must be stopped, Angelo hurried to the Italian Consulate to warn the Italian Vice-Consul, who he knew to be an admirer of Garibaldi, and have the duel stopped and treachery averted. But the Vice-Consul was busy. He refused to be interrupted and Angelo was, as has happened before, at a loss. Whereupon he appeared on the pavement before the Consulate, drew forth a huge revolver and emptied it into the air, because it was the only way to attract attention. At

Details are forthcoming concerning the death at Drancy, near Paris, of six-year-old Rene Nief at the hands of a police dog, Blackie, who was his best friend. Blackie is a German police dog, eleven months old. She had been with Rene since she was a puppy, and they were on the best terms. Two months ago, however, Blackie had a puppy, and she had not been in a good mood since. Rene was just recovering from scarlet fever. His parents left home and told him to be careful not to go near the dog. The boy grew tired of playing alone in the house. He decided to renew his acquaintance with his old playmate. He went to the cellar where Blackie stood guard over her puppy. What happened then, no one knows: When M. and Mme. Louis Nief returned, they found their son dead on the cellar floor. It took the help of five neighbors to get the dog under control and recover the mangled body. Blackie and her pup

Traffic is still interrupted through the tunnel where the Paris-Rouen-Havre express jumped the track and was smashed by a freight train. Workers are busy with acetylene lamps cutting the twisted wreckage into pieces small enough to be carried out. All trains are still diverted by way of Malaunay on the Dieppe line. The two passengers killed in the accident were M. Marcel Feret, a Havre business man, and M. Martin, of Paris. A legitimate curiosity to peep behind the scenes is resident in every place, and the private lives of public men are common property to some extent. Most of those who visit the exhibition of etchings at the Marcel Guiot Gallery, in the Rue Volney, Paris, by Mr. Donald Shaw MacLaughlan will know him. Others will inquire and learn that he is one of the longest established American artists in Paris. His Scottish name and his American citizenship do not prevent him from fixing his roots deep in the soil of France. The activities of her rivers and canals, the busy movement of her city streets has fascinated him and inspired most of the productions from his pencil point. Since
