ready evident in the present trado, will always, in the long run, prove depression, be the cause of consider to be much-more satisfactory and uble loss, and it will consequently economical than those of cheap cause great sufferings; and I am workmanship. afraid the responsible Government Officials are not strong enough to shoulder the great responsibility.

Position of China.

In China, however, the modernisa- tion of the morcantile marine must, In my opinion, be made by private enterprise, because the Chinese Government will not be able for aome time to come to assist ship owners with subsidies or whatever I should call it. The average age of the present

Chinese marcantile marine is 344 years, and at least 50 per cent, of this Chinese owned tonnage is ripe for scrapping. Taking this fact into consideration, it will be seen that the largest coun- try in the world with a population of over 450,000,000, doing enormous import and export business and with its numerous harbours and rivers and considerable coast port trade, has only 1/8 of 1 per cent. of the world's tonnage. These figures speak for themselves and no further comments needed; it will, therefore, be clearly seen that it is impossible for Chinese ship owners to compete with the others, espec ially in view of the enormous run- ning expenses In the upkeep and repairs of steamers which leave them no profit whatsoever.

are

Beiter Days Coming. Shipbuilding and shipping are in- dustries which contribute largely towards the prosperity of a country I will, therefore, lay out this ship- yard thoroughly efficient and I hope it will, like a barometer, show better. days for shipbuilding and shipping In China in general and for the country in particular.

The organisation of, this shipyard can only be made step by step under careful management to thorough efficiency, and I can assure you that in all that is in my power to do, I shall never leave any stone unturned because. I feel confident that where there is a really sound organisation, European countries will never re- fase co-operation, patronage and even financial support in case of need.

I may here say I have heard on many occasions that the owners of these ships are discontented and are inclined to put the blame of their non-profitable -business on the shoulders of the Hong Kong Govern ment Marine Surveyors. They are surely wrong, especially in their general opinion that the Harbour Master and the Government Marine Suveyor are over strict in their regulations. As we all know these authorities only put out in force here such laws and regulations that have had most careful and matured consideration and approval of their Home Government in co-operation ' with other great shipping nations, and the only aim of these laws and regulations is to save life and valu- able properties and the result is obvious in the great diminution in the cases of marine acetdents.

WILD WOMEN.

MOST OF THEM LOCATED IN FRENCH INDO-CHINA.

Paris, Aug. 2. There are two million wild women under the French flag who are giving M. Tardieu many

worries,

- These wild women are really wild, uncivilised, who have a real hankering for human potroasts, smoke pipes and run around. in such state of undress that they would be nabbed by the police, even in a Paris music hall.

Most of them are in the tribes in the back countries of French Indo-China, not affiliated to the Cambodian, Laotian or Annamite populations, Others are scattered over the African sands from the Niger to the Congo,

as inferior beings: They get all the hard work, while the men go hunting and fishing, play games with seashells or distill their rice. alcohol and get drunk.

The French Government cannot hope to educate its male black colonials to work, as long as the women are willing to do it. There is no chance to instil western civilisation into the colonies unless the men to work, and that is the problem which M. Tardieu faces.
