among the people, which had been for an effective solution of the un-in vogue from time immemorial. employment problem. The tenden cies of the new bloc may be gauged from the speech made by General von Leltow-Vorbeck, one of the prominent secessionists from the camp of the National People's Party and now a member of the Con- servative Party, who deprecated all loose talk about a dictatorship and also declared himself strongly against an alliance in the new Reichstag with the Nationalists and Fascists. On the other hand, he rejected the idea of co-operation with the Social democrats and in- sisted that a coalition of all middle parties was the only means of res- cuing the Reich the present politi cal muddle.
While the organs of the Right are generally jubilant at the fact that the German People's Party has thus definitely decided against co-operation with the recently form-. ed State Party which in the main comprises the old Democratie Party, the Socialist papers express the conviction that the formation of the new bloc will not lessen their party's chances of participation in the government as sooner or later even the Conservative, will have to recognize that in the long run it is, impossible to rule without the active co-operation of the masses represented by the Social Demo- cratic Party.
CONSTABLE'S DOUBTS CONFIRMED.
FORMER P.W.D. EMPLOYEE SENTENCED,
Before M. H. R. Butters yesters, day, a Chinese was charged with the possession of some lengthe of telephone wire, reasonably believed to have been stolen.
Inspector Shaftain told the Court that the man was stopped by an Indian constable in Magazine Gap, with the wire in his possession. When asked for an explanation, the man stated he was in the am ploy of the Public Works Depart- ment and gave a piece of paper as proof..
The constable rather doubted the
man's story and telephoned to the Central Police Station for instruc tions and was asked to take the man în custody. When he arrived in the charge room, the man fail- ed to give a satisfactory account of himself and was accordingly

In spite of this prohibition on the part of the authorities, the dealers in paper furnitures, cloth. ing, incense, red candles and other paraphernalia used in the services for the dead are busy stocking their goods for the occasion.

The Central Bank of China notes are going up in value, to-day's quotation being about 88 per cent. as compared with silver. Heavy speculation is going on, as the Gov. ernment has announced that it will accept such bank notes at full valve in payment for the short-term bonds which are being forced on the public.
NEW BRINDISI SERVICES TO FAR EAST.
LLOYD TRIESTINO, AGREEMENT.
Southern Italy, particularly Brindisi, has received with satisfac tion the new agreement which has been signed. batwee the Fascist Government and the Lloyd Tries tino Navigation Company, under which the importance of Brindisi will be greatly increased as a port of communication between Italy and the Far East.

In his evidence: Lau stated that after the accident he demanded an explanation at well as costs for the repair of the ricksha.
In reply to a question by Mr. Lo, witness denied that the ricksha had swerved. He also denied that the ricksha had stopped without any warning to traffic approaching from the rear.
Witness intimated that he did certain work for the China Tribune but denied being responsible for an account of the accident which appeared in that paper the follow- ing day.
