Marshal Yen Hsi-shan and his Aupporters would scarcely be likely with the situation inclin ing in their favour, to enter into peace negotiations at the present time. They are hoping to win out before the struggle ends. Should they succeed, it would appear more than Ikely that any new Go- vernment formed under their negia would be rather conserva- tive in outlook. There is, of course, persistent talk of Wang Ching-wei being placed at the bead of the new Government, if It is created, but in local Chinese circles it is doubted whether he would work with Marshal Yen, inasmuch as their political Ideas are sharply contrasted. At any rate, it is said that Wang Ching- wei, who is still reported to be in this Colony, has so far shown little disposition to respond to the repeated requests which he la stated to have received to proceed

The position may be regretted, but nothing is to be gained by attempting to shut out unpleasant facts and tendencies.

"I am strongly in favour of the strict interpretation of Christ's moral laws on marriage," he said, "and cannot think of anything more revolting than marriage de- picted in popular novels and prac- tised by the idle rich.
