It is not at all surprising that Ger many should follow out her ambition
to have a naval force sufficient to protect her commerce, but it is surprising that it was thought necessary to point out Great Britain as the only antagonist from which danger was to be apprehended. The Anglo- phobe utterances of the German Press during the last few years is a curious symptom, remembering the tight control kept over press utterances in that dominion, and the silly calumnies published about the conduct of the British troops in South Africa can only

tious display of antagonism to everything British may be designed in some way to propitiate her great northern neighbour. Be this as it may, as we have surmised, some unpublished action on the part of Germany has induced the British and Japanese Empires la openly join hands, and the United States to declare its benevolent -neutrality to the Agreement.
The adhesion of the latter Power-as a third party to the Agreement was not to be expected or, for many reasons, even desirable; but Germany has scarcely ingratiat ed herself with the people of the United States by her actions in Manila Bay, or her restiveness at the application of the Monroe
doctrine.
The recent utterances of Lord SALISBURY as to some great peril threatening the British Empire and the references of Lords CRANBOURNE and LANDSDOWN to the Anglo- Japanese Agreement, clearly point out some threatened combination amongst the Euro- pean Powers that was inimical to the inter- ests of the two Empires now bound together A high class wine, well-known to by a defensive and offensive alliance.

PRESENTATION.
For the purpose of expressing the high respect they entertained for him during his long service here the European members of the Force- decided to present him with à testimonial, and at noon to-day the interesting function took place in the billiard room at the Central Police Station, Chief Detective lospector J. W. Hanson presided and was supported by Inspector H. G. Baker, who comes next in seniority. There were large number of officers present to say good- bye to Mr. Kemp and wish him long life and happiness in the old country.
Mr. Banson,, in making the presentation, which took the form of a half-hunter gold watch bearing the untials "G.K," and inscribed Presented to Mr. George Kemp by the European officers of the Hongkong Police as a mark of respect and esteem on his retire- ment as Chief Inspector, February, 18th, 1903,". said when he was asked to make the pre sentation he felt a sense of pleasure, though at the same time he did so with mingled feelings. of regret. They were met together to say Good-bye to Mr. Kemp, who had been in the Hongkong Police since 1879. During the whole of that time anyone who had noticed Mr. Kemp and had seen him going about as a police officer must always have felt a sense of
pride, because there was always in Mr. Kemp hat which commanded respect (applause). He was authorised by his superior officers to sinte that Mr. Kemp was a excellent officer applause), but in addition he, personally, and he knew there must be others who had come in contact with him, had felt at times that going to Mr. Kemp meant finding but what one wanted to know (applause). He was always well informed, had the benefit of experience of police work, at home and always kept well in touch with all that was going on concerning police matters. Therefore, Mr. Kemp was what he might call a fountain of knowledge, of which he and others had often availed themselves, when requiring information on certain points. But his connec tion with them was now severed, for tomorrow Mr. Kemp was leaving for home, and they would miss his manly figure.
