The occupation is in no way hostile to the population and no obstacle will be placed in the economic Efe of the region.

LONDON, March 8.
The Late Capt. Moody, who en deared himself to all who came in contact with him, has many friends in the Colony and China generally and these will regard his death as a personal loss.

ATTITUDE OF BRITISH PRESS.
LONDON, March 8 In contrast to the unanimity of the British Press, inclashing the Liberals, in ridiculing von Simons first offer, it is noteworthy that the, Manchester Guardian, the Westminster Gazelle, and the Star to-day chic, the strong language of the Daily News and the Morning Post in denouncing the decision of the Allies to refuse to give Germany a breathing space a s capitulation to France's policy of revenge and opposed to British national Interests because it involves possibilities of Allied friction, the sanctions being calculated to defeat industrial recovery in Germany which Mr. Lloyd George has hitherto maintained is essential to peace and the restoration of trade. All, however, declare that the tactless and inept speeches of von Simons, who is in the grip of the Nationalists, has contributed to the general exhibition of bankrupt statesmanship.
