In connection with the $8,700 cheque fraud which was reported yesterday to have been pulled off by a Chinese on a local foreign bank, it is now learned that the Chinese had been an employee of the bank for the past six years or No, He worked in the savings de- partment and recently opened a personal account by depositing $100. By the simple trick of add- ing the figure 9 in front of the amount deposited, the man brought the amount to his credit to 39,100. A few days ago he drew $8,700 of the money which he did not have, and has since disappeared.

The effect of military bands upon Chinese funeral processions was noticed in the Hongkew dis trict, when hearers thought at first that soldiers were marching. Cor-. tain vagaries of time, however, were evident as the brass band endeavoured to pacify the spirits of the departed with a lively tune often played. on route marches by the U.S. Marines. Elght very dirty and much decorated small boys, bearing the usual banners, made at the same timie a brave effort to keep step in the approved military

An important change hat come over the Chinese situation during the past week. In the North of the country a new war has broken out, and for the time being Yangtze happenings. are eclipsed.". Chang Tso-lin has become opposed to Yen Hui- san, the warlord of Shansi, and hostilities have started, first blood going to the Shansi-ites, who have defeated the Fengtien troops at Kalgan.

Full details are given in this week's issue of the "Overland Mail."

Swatow has again changed hands.. the Reds having, der parted before the Cantonese troops, and again the city in under the control of General Li Chai-sum's forces.

Canton itself has undergone a startling change, so far as its politics are concerned. It has declared provincial autonomy with, of course, Kwangsi as an ally

Locally, the event of the week has been the giant fete · held at Lee Garden in aid of the funds of the Ministering Children's League. The people of the Colony responded gladly to the call, and it is expected that at least $10,000 profit will be shown.
