...Ward Road Jail. What claims to be the largest prison in the world, the Ward Road jail, capacity 8,000, stands on the edge of the Japanese part of the International Settlement under crossfire from both sides for over a week. Shells crashed right into the building last week, killed eight prisoners in the cells, wounded 70, drove several others insane. Volunteers from the International Settlement last week finally arranged for the prisoners to be evacuated in busses to the outskirts of the Chinese city.

Hume of Chicago and 14 other Congregational ministers. Mr. Hume and his colleagues wanted to know if Mr. Babson had told his businessmen subscribers, in a special letter of his Babson's Reports, that U.

Had he further remarked that the German Government in emphasizing a creed based on "four simple but vital foundations" (Faith, Blood, Sacrifice, Love) "may be taking a forward step...
