The Zoo's wolves and jackols re- sponded all too readily to the music offered. A tune set in a minor key at once caused them to point their noses to the sky and give voice in so vociferous a manner as to drows completely the orchestra.

General Gillman is accompanied by other officers, and we under stand that they form a commission and will stay in Singapore about three months with the object of making fall inquiry into the ques tion of the defences of Singapore island in connection with the Naval Base.
It will have been noted that for some time past the Government Gazelle has contained notifications pf the acquisition of land on Var- ious parts of the cast in connection with these defences. The decision of the War Office to have a com.
ission on the spot under the pre aidency of the Inspector of Arti lery indicates that the question is to be gone inte thoroughly prior to formulating the full scheme of work for the Base.
General Gillman, who is accom- panied by Lady Gillman, is stay- ing at the Europe Hotel. The party also includes Lieut. Col. R. F. Lock, RA, and Mr. Mac
