A S gnificant German Move, Now, Dr. Dernberg is an astute man aid knows, in common phrase, on which aide his bread in bottered; be bas changed him mind because be has been advised. to change his mind. Elis now views, we may be sure, are the viowe of hie maater, and it is possible to guess what in in the mind of the Kaiser when he ad opte this attitude. He recognizes the strong likelihood of the Ger mans being forced out of Belgiu and, before that happens, he is faily certain to come forward? with peace proposals which offer Belgium her freedom with a fine aipol magnanimity. Nos for the first time Germany is preparing the world for a future move, and it will be just as well to keep an eye on this one. It is the clearest indication that Germany reoog- mises the strong possibility of defeat and is determined, if at mil possible, to escape the conse quoccer.

Over Sea Britons and the War.
At the present time, we believe, the only contribution which British residents in the Treaty port of Chins make to the imperial funde is the annual registration Le of two dollara demanded from each |British subject. Is there not in this registration fes-which may be described as a poll tax-the germ of a system of taxation for imperial defence? It could easily be ircreated for this special purpose. Any other. com- pulsory system of taxations in the Treaty ports may not be very practicable, but given the wish on the part of
British residents in China to fal fil the patriotic duty of coming into line with Hongkong in the mitter of making a contribution to imperial defence, it ought not to be impossible for a Patriotic Com- mittee to evolve some equitable" system for the taxation of British companies and firms. A system. of voluntary taxation could only by maintained, however, while patriotism is at fever heat, but it is while the war is in progress that the money is needed most the post bellum obligatione we Cunt upon being met largely out of the indemnities which our eremies will be required to pay for plunging the nations into this ghastly struggle.

The table also shows that the value of the copper woked in the province alto exceeded the value of gold during both geara under cor sideration. In regard to ocal, the Balletin states that a much larger quantity than the estimat ed lofal for 1914, 2,172,530 tons could have been produced had there been a demand for it, The right clasification, therefore, would seem in this particular case to be that which would place oogl fir t on the litt, followed by cop rer, then by gold. With reference to cther minerals, the Bulletin adds that soma, prospecting for and development of, bodies of iran had been carried out recent |ly, but no iron ore had been used or shipped. A small quantity of brude placer platinum had been recovered, estimated at less than 1,000 dolerin valus; this waH obtained from prospecting work- ings now being carried on and the results were considered en couraging.
