WHY
"W
WORRY
HY worry? The War's over!" So it is. We have all heard that remark more than once, but there is much to "worry" about yet. We're not out of the game simply because the Huns have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the limit of " your sacrifice! There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have had, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. It is our duty then to "worry," in order that the maimed and sick, "the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us here owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the war-a debt which we can never repay. But we can show our appreciation by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged at home. Money is urgently needed. Shall we grudge it now that the war, is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with. the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down in the annals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achieve- ments, on the battlefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Offering worthy of the Colony.

"From a particularly well-informed source I learn that the failure of Germany to prevent the Bulgarian debacle was s matter rather of lack of ability than lack of foresight. Malinoff came to power with the definite intention of making peace this autumn, whether in conjunction with the Central Powers or separately and in this resolve he had practically the un animous and tacit support of the army and civil population.
The difficulties with Germany over Dobrudja and with Turkey over the frontier question, added to the fact that Germány denied Bulgaria's claim to a share in the food supplies from Ukraine and intimated that in the event of general peace negotiations Bulgaria must not pat forward too high claims vis-a-vis Serbia, strengthened the conviction of the Bal It was, a pitiable and horrible sight garian Government that Eulgaria bad to see those great ships being shepherded everything to lose and nothing to gain by like sheep by the Grand Fleet.
