CATSPAW OF REBELS
London, Dec. '14.
Genuine sympathy is expressed Ire many quarters that, China is faced with so serious a crisis just when her fortunes are manifestly brightening.
Sir Frederick Whyte, interview-. ed by Reuter, said: "Some - sort of explosion has been brewing for several months owing to the in- creasing violence of anti-Japanese passions, but it is most surprising that is comes from Chang Hsueh- Kang who was always personally friendly to Chiang Kai-shek. He is not the sort of man to lead big movements and evidently he has been getting "into bad company and is now the catspaw of the rebels."
Sir Frederick Whyte expressed. the opinion that the Japanese are į unlikely to interfere. It is dif- "cult to do so without making matters worse. He believed that Nanking at least ww easily localise the revolt since the Gov- ernors of Shansi, Honan and Shantung are strong men who are loyal to Nanking.- Reuter
POLITICAL TRIMMER
London, Dec. 14. The Manchester Guardian" contrasts the abortive southern rebellion last summer, due only to the ambitions of two or thres leaders. The mutineers in Sherisi are genuinely inspired by hatred of Japan. Chang Hsueh-Hang is a weak and cautious political trim- mer, weakly allowed in Stanfu to become the centre of a new na- tionalist movement to which students have been flocking from ali parts of China. If Chiang Kal-shek is killed Ching will once again be torn by civil wars and be the helpless victim of external aggression, says the paper.~~ Reuter.

Eugen, Rothschild...
The greatest reserve is observed cancerning his plans. It is stated that the Duke of Windsor will stay at the Castle for an indefinite period." A twenty-three-minutes phone call was put through from the Castle to Cannes this morning. -Reuter Bulletin Service.

RARE MUSICAL
TREAT
Ancient Italian Compositions.
Music lovers in Hong Kong who attended the concert of ancient the Italian music, presented by Dante Alighieri Association in the Rose Room of the Peninsula Hotel last night; received a rare treat for the music was not only brilliant
and beautiful, but it was also ex- pressively rendered by the artistes. The reception accorded each per- former was most enthusiastic and. it was thus difficult to differentiate
the excellence" of each item.
Polyphonic music was presented by the Choral Group, under the conductorship of Maestro E. Gualdi who was responsible for the entire programme, while the orchestra performed under the baton of Professor F Gonzalez,
A feature of this concert was the Pergolesi Tricentenary Com- inemoration and the music render- ed was a fine specimen of the naturalness and originality of its composer, Glovanni Battista Per- golest. It possessed all the grace and sparkling effect of its sim- plicity and profound human in
spiration.
The programme was as follows:- 1. G. P. Palestrina-'Amor quando
