The action of the Chinese in letting off a few fireworks as a means of giving vent to their feelings on learning of Yuan Shih Kai's death seems to have given rise to: in great deal of unnecessary commotion in the Colony.

to the nearest points of assembly, where, as nobody seemed to know what they were wanted for, they were left to cool their heels at leisure until they were told to go home again. To the younger men, no doubt, the experience was full of thrills, but as a form of entertainment to those who had said a re grefful good-bye to their first youth it left- something to be desired. Nobody winds having his night's rest broken when it is necessary, but he resents it if due to In the ease of emergency calls in future caprice even on the part of his first-born. it would surely be as well if somebody. in charge knew what was wanted, and unnecessarily if womenfolk were not scared by reports that one half the Chinese in Hongkong had risen against the other half. The Special Police Reserve are a willing body of men, and for that reason are entitled to some consideratio.
Upon the eve of the battle they were on- gaged in celebrating the German navel "victory" off Jutland. Reinforcements are being hurried up from the Italian: front, and the Germans are" endeavour- ing to relieve the pressure by ercating a diversion in the shape of an attack in force in the neighbourhood of Drinsk. It is also said that they are detaching troops from their own line and are send-of ing them to the assistance of their Allies in their extremity. Such help as they cau send, however, cannot be material, for the Germans are themselves responsible for holding the 450 miles of front that stretches from the Gulf of Riga to the Pripet, and their forces do not aggregate more than 1,200,000 men. The German armies in Russia have thus roughly 1,300 combatants per mile over the front as a whole, and from such a weakly An exact reproduction of a well-held fine any withdrawal of troops may

and return them to their original posi tions so soon as danger had been averted. Their henry losses combined with the gradually increasing strength of the all fronts Allies and the activity on now make such tactics impossible. The Austrians are responsible for holding the line from the Pripet to the frontier of Rumania. They will have to be left large- ly to their own resources, and they are apparently unequal to the task before them. In three days the Russians ad- vanced twenty-five miles towards Lutzk. They occupied the whole of the triangu lar fortified position formed by Rolki, Lützk and Olyko, which is strategically most important as the connecting centre between Poland and the roads to Galicia and Bukhorina; and in Bukhoving they have captured the head of the railway Information leading to Czernowitz.
