The Washington Herald observes: "Our Government has no legal power to evacuate some 10.000 American citizens In China, yet it cannot leave them entirely in the lurch.

Encourages Churches' War Work
A letter to the Catholics of the Vicarlate of Hongkong has been ad- dressed to them by the Bishop. Mgr. Valtorta, in which he commends them for their work for the wounded and for all those who have suffered be- cause of the war, and urges them to still greater effort.
Bishop Valtorta points out that all aver China Catholics have formed organisations to help war victims in every possible way, and he says that! the part
taken by those in Hongkong has won for them very special com- mendation. He mentions particularly the preparation of articles for medicat relief done by several groups of ladies and school girls. Work for sufferers at this time, the letter states, is part of the Christian's duty of charity and part too of the obligations of patriotism, which is a duty binding in God's law.
further
In recommending still efforts, the Bishop-addresses-particu larly the more reinote vilinges where he recommends the Catholics to form societies which will engage in prayer and good works as long as the war lasts, and will give the proceeds of Red their activities to the Chinese Cross. He wishes too that
these societies and Catholk Chinese, should signalise themselves by assisting the authorities in every possible way dur ing wartime,
The letter is written in Chinese and is the second on the subject that Bishop Valtorta has issued since the boginning of the war.
The big number of the evening is an amusing burlesque of the old- fashioned melodrama with dashing hero, sinister villain and beautiful heroine, and a certain amount of action will come from the audience itself.
