The War
As the odds rangs themselves up against Germany,, what can Germany expect to gain by a con- tiruance of the war that she did not bare when she broke the pace? Say peace was declared to-- morrow, she would find her erst while military-supremacy a thing of the past Gres: Britsin has got something she did not desire, the status of a great military power in every sense of the terms. France and Russia have had to strengthen their arms to a degree
# never contemplated. eleventh boar perce were atablished the British Empire and would to sil - intants purposes be closed to German im- migration, capital and enterprise; French bitterness for Germany would be intensified Russia would be hostile for generations. In short, German trade conneo- tions all over the world would be broken and her financial position weakened to a point of paralysis.

The only reason, therefore, for the continuance in Hongkong of so antiquated system which the Colony has long outgrown is the failure-of the community to pRDER their claims with anfficient per- sistency. If proper steps are taken attention of the Secretary of State himself, instead of allowing it to be pigeon-holed by the per- Imonent officials of the Colonia) Office, it will have s good prospect of receiving sym- pathetic consideration. We ven tare to doubt, however, whether Mr. Pollock's proposal would be accepted in its entirety. For while a strong claim can be made out
by the British residents of the Colony to a system of government more in accordance with -ibat: which they have been accustomed to regard sa a natural right, there would be some difficulty in bow- ing that it ought to be extended to other sections of the community to whom it is entirely foreign.

At the beginning of the war Great Britain, out of her. small army of some seven or aight Lundred thousand, des- patched two hundred thousand to the assistance of Fricos, T Britiah Kary was also mob on the metant and pat
