FREEMASONRY IS
NOW ON INCREASE
v -i ■' •
LONDON, Feb: 11—Three times a*
many Masonic lodges were instituted
in 1020 in England and those parts of
the dominions where-the United Grand
Lodge of England has jurisdiction, as
in any of the previous seven years,
according to a report just made pub
lic here. Similar increases were an
nounced by Scottish and Irish Grand
Lodges and Chapters. ,
Freemason's Hall, the Craft's Lon
don headquarters, has become too
small for the demands made upon it,
and the return from Inia of the Duke
of Connaught, the Grand Master is
awaited for the completion of a big
i
extension scheme including a new
Masonic Temple and offices to be
erected as a memorial to members who
fell in the war.
SHOOTING EDITORS
DAILY OCCURENCE
.s. LONDON, Feb. 11— Journalism is
a dangerous occupation in Canton,
China, according to the correspondent
there of the CENTRAL NEWS. Quot
ing the Canton Times he says “every
military governor has had at least one
editor shot during his term of office.
Since the establishment of the repub
lic, numerous Canton journalists have
been executed by official order and
several others assassinated with offic
ials as accomplices."
