Kowloon Parish Problems.

Howerve, it is in this vigorous manner that Mr. Lloyd George re- enters the arena- to cross awerds and break lances with his opponents. We may expect to hear and read of many great jousts in the not distant future, in which Mr. Lloyd George assuredly will play a great and gallant part. But he will not always come out victorious, for his foes are focs of no mean order.

News in Brief.

One case of small-pox and one ofj diphtheria were reported in the Colony, yesterday.

The children's sporte was held at the Kowloon Junior School, Park- [side, this morning, and was a great

auccess.

The steamer launch Elele was put up for auction by Messrs. Lammert Brothers yesterday after- noon, but as there were no bids, it was withdrawn from sale.

HONG KONG'S TRIBUTE TO HER WAR DEAD

NEW NURSING HOME OPENED.

H.E. Officiates.

“I am glad that Hong Kong has succeeded in 'erecting one of these in memory of those who gave their lives for their friends and their country," said His Excellency the Governor in his speech at the opening of the War Memorial Nursing Home on Mount Kellett, yesterday afternoon.

Lady Peel unlocked the door of the Home with a gold key, which was presented to her as a memento of the event by the Hon. Mr. W. H. Bell, Chairman of the Committee.

. Later those present made an inspection of the building under the direction of the Sisters.
