Mr. Longinotto said he could net suggest any motive. It was certainly

a very horrible deed. The men's

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.

When the s.s. "Professor." leaves Hongkong, ahout the end of May or the early part of June, for Home, she will have on board the last batch of British soldiers for demobilization who have been serving with the British Siberian Expedition.

Their voyage home, we trust, will be most pleasant, but it will be a long one, and the days at sea are best beguiled, after hours spent in listening to what the wild wares in indulgence in are saying, reading matter and such game as will appeal to the grown-up, and can be played in restricted spaces of board ship. So, look over 'your collections of books, magazines, and games and send what you can spare to the China Mail to be turned over to the soldiers. They will be called for at our office by a committee of British soldiers stationed in Hongkong, who will deliver them on board the "Pro- fessor", before she sails.

In sending these contributions, please furnish us with your name and address.
