RESIDENCE IN IRELAND...
The Home papers are still show- ing considerable interest in the personality of Mr. Eugene Chen, the Nationalist Minister for Foreign
Affaire.
A correspondent of the Manches
ter Guardian writes:
Some years ago I was seated in the corner of a compartment of the trans-Siberian express that, was about to leave Moscow on its five thousand aniles journey to Harbin when a thoughtful-looking Chinese, then in his forties, came into the compartment and took his seat in the opposite corner. It was Mr. Eugene Chen. He was slim of build and short in stature, wore a well cut grey European suit, à black tie, and gold-rimmed spectacles. only peculiarity in his dress was "that the heels of his boots were higher than those usually worn by men Otherwise, sartorially, be was

CHINA DEPLETES HOME AND MEDITERRANEAN FLEETS.
VIRTUALLY NO FLEET RESERVE.
Discussing the concentration of British cruisers in Chinese waters at the present time, a naval corre spandent points out that this con- sists of 42 per cent of our total available active strengths in these rits. In other words, there are now either with the flag of Vice- Adul. Tyrwhitt, or on passage to join it, 13 out the 31 vessels still in active service. The result is that the Mediterranean Fly temporarily left with only fire cruisers and the Atlantic Fleet with ix. The North America and the Africa Squadrons remain intact, but the East Indies Squadron is re- duged to ore cruiser. Nor is this the whole of the story, since three of the cruisers attached to the Mediterranean and Atlantic Fleets are serving as destroyer parent ships, and cannot, therefore, be regarded as eligible for indepen- dent service."
The position is instructive, be indistinguishable from a well-groom-cause it once again illustrates the ed Englishman.

dard of British character and cul. ture, another was our political Con- stitution, and a third was the Eng lish language, of which he was un- doubtedly a master, the wealth of his vocabulary, for 4 foreigner, being remarkable. ......
Mr. Chen chiefly impressed me by his intellectuality. In conversation he had the style of a first-class law Fer. He spoke in a rich voice, clearly and incisively, leaving no doubt in the mind of his hearer as to what he meant. An occasional trace of acerbity in his temperament was more than redeemed by a quiet sense of humour almost amounting to gaiety.
