HOW WILL ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS BE AFFECTED:
GEEMAN HOPES AND FEARS.
PARIS, January (3. The overthrow of the Leygues Ministry can be ascribed to a variety of causes. The Ministry was always regarded as a sort of boffer between two strongmen M. Milerand and M. Briand, whose accession to the pre- miership was regarded as a certainty, after M. Millerand's election as president. The latter, however, decided otherwise. Thus some bitterness always remained. Moreover M. Leygues was condemned as too acquiescent in the British standpoint, and not sufficiently insistent for the interests of France, especially concerning the strict execution of the Treaty of Versailles. The majority of Chamber of Deputies was

PARIS, January 12.
A Havas message states that the Chamber of Deputies repelled by 463 votes to 135 the postponement of interpellations on the general policy as requested by M. Levgues' ministers who then left the sitting room. ·
KEEN INTEREST IN GERMANY.
BERLIN, January 13. · The hopes and fears of Germany are reflected in the comments on the fall of the French Government which was keenly discussed in the papers as betokening a possible new phase in French post-war policy. Reaction. ary organs express the opinion that the Chamber wants a stronger man than M. Leygues to tackle Britain and Italy on the question of German disarmament and expect a baraber policy to Germany, but the Socialist argans believe that France's financial difficulties compel her to approach Germany with s view to an economic and ultimately a political understanding.

FRENCH PARLIAMENT REOPENS."
PARIS, January 12.
A Havas message states: Parliament was reopened on January 11 with 'the two doyens' speeches. M. Siegfried, the Chamber's doyen, expressed his trust in France's future. He said that the French economic situation will be soon restablished by the rapid augmentation of exports. He explained the Republicani platform for the amelioration of the moral and naterial conditions of the workers. He declared finally that France show throw away the class struggle. M. Denis, the Senate's doyen, declared that the French army should be strong enough to force Germany to execute the terms of the Peace Treaty. He said that France will not stay alone. His friends, the British and Americans are not indifferent to the dangers threatening world civilisation. M. Denis concluded by asserting his unshakable faith in the future of the League of Nations. The Chamber re- elected M. Raoul Peret president and the same four vice-presidents.
TRADE DEPRESSION.
AUSTRALIAN COAL CHEAPER IN NORWAY THAN ENGLISH.
MANY SHIPS LAID UP.
LONDON, January 13. Owing to the glut of coal stocks, Scottish coal masters have agreed to abandon fixed prices for exporting coal and to transact future business on prewar competitive lines. More coal is now being produced in Scotland than the market can absorb. Railway sidings are congested with unwanted loaded waggons. The industrial demand has diminished one third as the steel works are running at three fourths capacity, while the disturbed condition of Ireland has curtailed export to Ireland. Owing to the shipping slump 60 vessels have been indefinitely laid up at Tyreside and dozens of others left in foreign ports for a like purpose. Many others are lying in the river awaiting cargoes. It is stated that coal can now be shipped and delivered in Norway from Australia at £1 a ton cheaper than coal from England.

CHINESE BAZAAR.
FOR FAMINE SUFFERERS,
A PICTURESQUE, EVENT.
An interesting Chinese bazaar, “bright with colour and replete with picturesque features, is being held at the New Chinese School in Holly- wood Rord, in aid of the famine and wer sufferers in China. It is organ- ized by a committee representing the Tung Wal Hospital and the Con- fucianist Society. Everybing on sale in the bazaar is either the gik of firms in the Colony or the handwork of scholars in the Chinese schools, arid many exceedingly attractive arti- cles are offered.
The building has been prettily de- corated, the interior being transform- ed with Bags and-bunting. Theatric al, musical, and sporting events gre held at intervals on the roof and else- where. In sharp contrast to the at~,. mosphere of festivity that these con- rey, there is a shrine in a comer of the large ball, at which priests hourly chant prayers for the repose of the souls of those who have died by priva- tion.
The schools taking part in the bazaar are: the Hongkong Girls' School of Art, the Yeuk Chi, the Tac Sin, the Chun Ws, and Kwan Tuk. The bands of the Chinese Y.M.C.A., the Confucianist Society, and the Lai He School have volunteered their ser- vices to the bazaar. Business men and social workers generally have united to make the occasion a SUCCESS. Ab entertaining diversion is the "eight-cornered "puzzle" modelled on a plan bý Gezeral Hung Ming, the Chinese military leader. The walls are composed of many yards of matting, and a prize is offer ed to those who succeed in reaching the centre.
Mr. Ross, the Acting Secretary for Chinese Affairs, visited the bazaar on Wednesday, made a donation to the funds, and bought a pyrographic painting made in his presence by Miss. Fung. Min-fung
More than $10,000 has already been raised by the bazaar for the re- lief tund. It has been decided to prolong the bazaar froth a week to ten days.
