san had given way before the commercial and military instinct which favoured Hongkong, Mr. de Jesus gives a spirited narrative of the opening of Shanghai and of the events that led to the Treaty of Nanking.

Even in these places, which are only reached after a tedious desert journey from Peking, the military as well as the economic power of the Chinese is making slow but steady progress.
Since 1907 in East Mongolia there have been camps of regular Chinese troops. The endeavours of China in Mongolia are not only directed against the attempts of Russia to obtain food in that country, but also against the independent Mongolian princes. The in- tereat of independence and the danger threaten- ing them from Peking makes the Mongolian princes the natural allies of the Russians, who are more sympathetic to them than the Chinese, The author asks of what avail that is against
