„Harbour Rostrictions. Probably at no time in its hie- fory has the Marine Coast of Hongkong been so prolio of charges of infraction, of the har- bour regulations. The fines in- flicted by relentless authority go some little way towards maintain- ing the elaborate examination Barvico which is deemed necessary by the powera that be and by all loyal citizens for the safety of the colony, but the toll erected from those who ply the barbour iu sam- pana and steam-launches is a pretty stiff one. Judging from tha brevity with which most cases are disposed of in the local press one san imagine the snap in the Magistrate's atterance "se he re- peate the daily formula 35, or seven days" with the well worn cantion that repetition of the deliquency will be visited with

The Colonial Budget, It is gratifying to obeerve that progrese continues to be made with the construction of the grand trunk line from Canton to Han. kow, which enables us to look forward with confidence to a time not far distart when the local line will be fulfilling its intended | function as a carrier of an increas- |ing volume of freight and passen- ger traffic between the interior of China and Kowicon.
We cannot do more to-day then briefly indicate the outstanding features of the Budget statement, which will be found in extenso on another page. The Colony is to be congratulated upon being able in these difficult times to maintain its revenue, without further taxation, sta figure which is nearly three million dollars above the revenue of the Colony, esy, for the year 1913, and the community cannot bat agree with His Excellenoy when he says that considering the abnormal situa tion created by the war."there is no reason to be dissatisfied," In- jdeed, we venture to think it would nct bave greatly surprised the community had the Budget pro- vided for a larger contribution towards the gigantic expenditures of the war than is sotually the

quote further: "The German aviatore bave operated unopposed, while the Russian aviators have been restricted, The German gunnere bad bad ex- parience in operating with aeroplanes se rangefindere, while neither the Russian aviatora nor gunners had had any experience at all. In other words, the Russian Army was almost as unprepared for employing patopisnes, as the United States Army, with this exception that Russia had 400 experienced aviators, whereas we have fewer than a dozen; Rasvia had about a thoassad seroplanes while the United States Army has only ten. Thus Russie committed the same mistake Germany com- mitted at the beginning of the campaign against Belgium.. Germany, then, ander-estimating the tenacity of Belgium, did not make good use of herscouts. She relied entirely on the overwhelm- ing strength of her Army, and did not consider it necessary to em- ploy air-scoute,
while the Belgians, with a few men, but employing a score of efficient sir. scouts, moved as circumstances dictated. The result was a com- paratively, large loss of men and and an inestimable loss of time on the part of the Germans, which undoubtedly saved Perie, There- after the Germans developed avis- tion on a large scale-which is what Bussis is now building large armoured biplanes intended to carry pilot, gunner, a machine gun, and a load of bomba at a speed of eighty miles an hour.
