WASHINGTON, June 6. The Farm Blot of both Houses

In the seport of the Alica Memorial and Ailiated Hospitals of Hongkong in connection with 1928, the Superintendent states that the inmediate need is to re- place the Alice Memorial Hospital which has been sold, and tho Nethersole in Bonham Roid by a modern building to accommodate at least 125 patients. The estim- ated, enst, of the building required at present rates is $400,000. There is no special hospital for children in the Colony and the increased number of beds for children in the new hospital would help to supply thut deficiency. An appeal is also made for $5,000 to replace the old X-Ray apparatus.
