Such a method of procedure will succeed if any can, for the connection between the soldiers and their chief will be unbroken, and, if large sums of money are supplied Peking will have its way.
LAWLESSNESS,
For the last thirty years there has not been anything like so much lawlessness in this region ag during the year that has ended, and with the new year there are no signs of improvement. Bands of rob hers are stalking through the land, re- gardless of the existence of authority. No house possessing any booty is safe. These robbers are well-armed; some of them sport Browning revolvers, and are be coming adepts in the use of them,
The villagers have ceased to look for protection from the various Yamens. Each village has its own special guards. The young men de guard duties by turn, It is the only way in which life has a moiety of security.
Kibyang, during the last year, has bad no fewer than five successive rangistrates. Not one of thear has been able to deal satisfactorily with an instance of civil strife when two sections of a large and prosperous village have battered and burned each other's houses into dust and ashes,

HOSOKONG VOLUNTEERS AND NAVY DRAW.
Gonis seem to be very scarce in serier football this season, and ones again there was a goalless draw on the Club ground an Saturday in the Navy's encounter with the Volunteers. While there was seldom considerabio excitement about the game, it was always interesting, with the result in doubt might up to the last minute. The homesters had the misfortune to lose the services early on of McTavish, who severe- ly sprained a muscle, and although that player pluckily returned to the field subso quently he was more or less a passenger for the remainder of the game. This not withstanding, tho Volunteers were doubtedly the more convincing side, and the bluejackets goalkeeper had much more to look after than Rogers, who was rarely troubled. It was the fine defence of the Importation and Exportation of the Navy that pulled them through without defeat. In that defonco Feune-

In the first half, after considerable pros sure on the Navy's goal had been relieved, of January, 1915, and published, in the Hopper was presented with practically an open goal, but shot straight for Rogers, who picked up very smartly. The ball was returned, and in the struggle Railton handled. A penalty was awarded, but Fennemoro shot at iho custodian's legs, and the shot was welį saved. This was the only really dangerous episode, so r as the Club's charge was concerned, in the whole of the period. Beveral deserving efforts by the Volunteers missed the mark by a frac tion only, and on one occasion Black, who played an exceedingly safe game at back, almost scored with a fine long shot,
