There is the further danger caused by Chinese roaming all over the streets, with little or no regard for traffic; and he is a re- markable motorist who can foresee which way these people are likely to turn. We are afraid that any organised effort of a compulsory character would be useless to cope with these evils, but warning notices posted at prominent places might in course of time have some effect. That, however, seems the most that can be done to deal with a situation which is full of danger to pedestrians and motorists alike.
