The Singapore Free Press says:-The Hong- ang Daily Press has a telegram from London (June 26) saying that Germany has decided to maintain a squadron in the Pacific Ocean, and another in the Indian ocean. This would seem to show, if true, a very complete trustfulness in Japan's shortness of memory. But where the Indian Ocean base is to be is a bit of a mys'ery The Pacific squadron will be quite comfortable at Kiscchau, New Guinea or elsewhere, so long as there is no trouble with Japan. Bat, like Koko in "The Mikado," "she has got 'em on the list. We incline, on the whole, however, to think that the decision referred to latke confirmation.

It seems almost impossible to believe that such a plan was seriously contemplated by the Russian authorities; and it may be not unreasonably surmised that the pamphlet ENGLISH AS WRITTEN IN CHINA. was issued with a view to obtaining the support of the masses in the war, and as an indacement to them to go willingly to the front. At the same time, that document throws considerable light upon the motives which have long governed Russian policy
