In the evening, Australians and New Zealanders will gather at a dinner at the Hongkong Hotel, where the brave exploits of the Anzacs will be honoured. Two toasta will be given, and at the con- clusion of the dinner a musical pro- gramme, consisting entirely of na- ilonal "Down Under" airs, has been arranged. As far as possible the menu will consist of products from the two Dominions.
It is interesting to note that while the Commercial Press has branches in all the leading cities in China, Peking and Hongkong are the only other places where the Company has its own printing shops. The main printing establishment of the Commercial Presa was unfortunately entirely destroyed when Chapel was burned in the Sino-Japanese clash.
