ORGANISING AN ARMY OF 150,000 MEN
Peking, May 30.
Renewal of hostilities on a bigger scale is now being discussed freely as more than a possibility. Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang is against peace and claims a following of 150,000 troops consisting of the Kuominchur and non-Kuominchun forces who have seen fighting in Jehol during the last few months.
Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang announces from Kalgan the appointment of Generals Sun Tien-ying and Feng Tsim-hai as commanders of his First Route Command, General Feng Chen-wu of the Second Route Command. Strong military support is expected from Charhar and Shansi-Special.

that time First Commissioner of Works, issued a memorandum on The defective condition of the stonework of the House of Parlia- ment," and the cost of the scheme of restoration was then estimated at £1,000,000.
Since then, however, It has been found possible to reduce this estimate somewhat, and in May of this year Mr. Ormsby-Gore, the present Firat Commissioner of Works, announced in the House of Commone that the cost was then estimated at £750,000.
Already at least a hundred men have been working on the House of Parliament for four years, and It will probably be about ten years more before the task is completed.
