THE FUTURE OUTLOOK,
Giontlemen, I have not dealt with trade because it is difficult to know where to begin and where to end. The artificial conditions and restrictions under which it has been carried on during the past year and the volume of trade that has been done, notwithstanding, inspire one to be lieve that when once the transitory stage from war in peace is passed, the future will hold even greater possibilitics of trade than heretofore.

EXCLUSION OF GERMANS.
PENANG CRICKET CLUB'S ACTION.
At a meeting of the Penang Cricket Club, un February 10th, the Chairman, Colonel Sir Arthur Adams, said it was proposed to make an addition to the Rules so as to exclude enemies. As the members were aware, the question was referred to at a joint meeting of the Clebs in the place, and that com mittee came to the conclusion that the most effective form of the alteration should be as on the notice:
"No German may be elected`a member] of this Club, or, if still on the list of members, remain thereon; or be intro duced as a visiting or any other kind of member er guest."
