Anybody with the mest elemen- tary sense of fair play will agree with them. What appears to have happened is that the profits amounted to so large a sum that the Hongkong Government could not bear to part with the money, hoping no doubt that the smail owners concerned would take their losses lying down. This night have been the case had not the Moller Shipping Company heen forced into liquidation by its losses in consequence of the action of the Government, for the Indemnity Bill was rushed through the Legis-- lative Council in time to prevent an exposure of the facts in the law courts. Indeed, from no point of view does there appear to be any justification for this scandalous transaction. Even the Bolsheviks: would blush at despoiling only the little men of their earnings and leuing the bigger ganie go free.

MOLLY O
It all happened through a news paper. There was the picture of a wealthy young society man, with the caption, "Who will his bride be"? Besides his picture was a vacant space, with a question mark prominently displayed.
Molly O'Dair. a little Irish girl, pasted her photo there, just for fun. And then she met him. And after that, by a series of accidents, that very copy of the paper came into his hands. Everything should have heen all right after that; but Molly had a father who didn't like.young men in expensive clothes, and plug hats, and so he put down the parental foot.
Molly's vicissitudes after that form the basis of the picture "Mol- ly O," which is at the Coronet this week.
There is nothing highly dramatic about_this_film, Its best_feature : is its homely presentation of the family life of the O'Dairs, and the whole production is characterized by some specially good acting.
Mabel Normand, in the principal role, gives a very touching, and yet amusing portrayal of "Molly Ö," the little Irish girl. She is support- ed by a groupe of artistes of merit, and Saturday's audiences were evidently appreciative of the pro- gramme offered.

Among the many steamers re- pairing at the Docks in Kowloon is the U.S. Transport "Warren."
