A bolt from the blue uover created more Burprise than did the Government's resolution det Thursday whereby they imposed additional datics on liquor. The Conseil did not like it H. E. and Dept. 46 H.K.0.0.A."... 295 any more than they did the original Ordinance Kowloon rather more than two years ago, but the members' Civil Service seemed to feel that they had no other than Hobson's obvice in the matter, and so they Navel Yard.. accepted the additional tax with as good grace as they could command. Needless to say, the community does not rejoiceovoritefther, though it has to bo odmitted that there is not so much talking about going on the water waggon as there was two years ago."
Asramarked before, our patriotie forbears did not complain of the additional taxes they were entled apou to pay at the time that an invasion from the Continent was foured in Great Britain. They realised that a duty on liquor was a vorý prosent hòlp in time of stress, and the meji of those days did their best to drink the country into prosperity. The present goueration is ultorether different. As Mr. Lloyd George has discovered, and as the Hong- kong Government has also discovered, the people are not drinking so extensively as they did in days gone by, with the result that the rovente is not proliting as it did in the good old days,
This reminds me of th question I mentioned once before. Why should the feetotalera ex- cape their share of the burden? The tax is borne at present by pooplo who prefer a more expensive liquor than sold water or minerals, but what of the thousanda who indulge in those drinks which are not supposed to contain any alcohol at all? Surely they are patristió enougä not to cavil at en extrs cant being added to the cost of their favourite tipple! I don't ingine that the reveure from this scuree will be groal, „bubaquity domands that the burden of taration "should not be borne by one section of the com
munity only,
The coupleteness of the Government'sarrange- ments with regard to the immediate effect of the resolution is ad aitted by all, even by those who do not like thon, and the officials are certainly to be congratulated on the dramatic coup so well staged and performed. Mr. Clémenti..wh made tile debut as a speakor in the Council, also desery is to be complimented on the capable maunor in which he handled the matter and on the very lucid and interesting spenoh in which he explained the financial situation. and the nosessity for the moagare advocated.

Writing of sources of revenue, may I repture to mention that one of the Northern Viceroye has recently suggested the imposition of atɑx on- marria of What, I wonder, would Mr. Bocse volt and President Fallieressay to this? In the Wost we are accustomed to hear of proposals for the taxation of bachelors, but, as Mr. Kipling reminds us "East is Enat, and West is West." In Chins where (I forget the authority for the ~ statement) "overy man is married," staz ou bachelors wouldn't be worth a button to the Treasury, but a tax on marriages - in a country with population of four hundred millions, too -Great Scot!

Small railways at Homs develope a crop of jokes, and one of the most familiar is " What' time does the 1.40 train start!"

A. Anderson) presented prises to the winners. For a week past the rank and ale of the United Services Bad been engaged in various xavolver and rifle shooting competitions, and on Saturday the programme was concluded with an Affinity Competition which was open to pairs of ladies and gentlemen. The sharp orack of rifles in connection with this shoot attracted many in the vicinity to the range, so that in the course of the afternoon a large number of invit ed and uninvited guests asembled. It was laid down in the conditions that the ladies should shoot over a range of 75 yards, and the gentlemen at the 300 yards range. Eight shots wars allow et, the first being a sighter. The ladies ware permitted to shoot with any miniature rife the calibre of which did not exceed 22, while gen- tlemen were required to use the 303 rifle. The ladies, it must be admitted, shot remarkably well, and thoroughly deserved the encomiums of his Excellency the General. The competition, in which the keenest interest was manifested, resulted as follows:-

His Excellency the General distributed the numerous prizes, and had a few words of con gratulation for each marksman sa le accepted his trophy. Then, addressing the gathering, he atated that they first of all had to thank tho clerk of the weather for letting them down so handsomely. It was a great pleasure to him to see so many ladies present, quite apart from the pleasure of witnessing their skill at the target. Regarding the meeting, although there had bann
