Equally disconcerting is the latest news from the Upper River. where there has been fighting among the various military factions for some time. The latest news to hand states that serious fighting is now taking place above Lüchow be- tween the armies of Generals Chow Hi-chung and Ll, and that all ship- ping. has been stopped above Luchow. The muster of the Barry and Dodwell motor-vessel Hsin Chi was shot and died almost imme- diately while anchoring at Kiang King, another member of the crew of the vessel being badly wounded. There is a large movement of troops up and down the river and British ships have been commandeered for carrying troops. One'ship is stated to have been seized and forged to carry 400 men from Wanhsien to

Last week a render of the "China Mad" suggested that Kellet Island be converted into a plepuure remort, with a bridge herons from the new praya (when the eastern reclamation is completed). Now another reader sends along a picture, embodying his idea of what North Point bathing, beach ought to be in 1996. The background supplied is what he predicts the Hongkong Electric Cos'installation will be then, completely overshadowed by the luxurious splendour of the bathing facilities.

[Note: In last Saturday's “China Mai?" was the zëticle by the Kellet Island correspondent, who wishes to rename it Concordia Island, to be opened by H.E the Gaverner on May 1, 1928. The sender of the picture reproduced aboveChunking, and another varied 120- lays emphasis on the date, 1996.]

Those will give you a clue to other words crossing them, and they in rurn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the nambered squarce and running either horizontally or vertically or both.

To talk of the abolition of extrateritoriality in times like these, when the life of no man in the country is safe' except he be under foreign "protec tion, is so absurd as to be almost tragic. Let us hope that the foreign Commission on the question of Extraterritoriality, which soon will fish its labours, has realised China's true condition, and will deni with it as it deserves.-"Shipping and Engineering."
