Powder burns stung Il Duce's lips and cheek, the pistol had been fired so close. Yet he interposed to prevent a mob from lynching his would-be assassin, the Honorable Violet Albina Gibson, sister of the irish peer, William Gibson, second Baron Ashbourne.

Almost more disquieting than these crude manifestations of mob intolerance are the continuous jealousies and feuds of intrigue between Hindu and Moslem leaders in the field of politics.

On the contrary should certain contingencies arise...
...will get the Chinese trade which Britain may lose? Japan and France want it. Therefore, the French avoided every clash with Chinese last week; and only as a matter of dire necessity did some Japanese Marines at Hankow unlimber their machine guns to disperse a Chinese mob which attempted to loot the Japanese concession there. Two Chinese were killed; but if Baron Shidehara can manage it, their blood will not be the beginning of red freshets on Japanese steel...
