For these classed private hospitality has done much, but much remains to do, and it is for these eluszes that I make an urgent appeal. Private hospitality was in the nature of the case a temporary expedient. It becomes necessary now tɔ provide homes for the betier classes which may carry them to the end of the war. Many who had at firet a little money now find their funds exhausted Direct financial help is in many cases ap cially cases of sickness imperatively needed. I want a fund which I may use at discretion either for organizing homes suitable for the gratuitous use of the temporarily homeless upper classes, or for relieving, in any other way that may seem best, acute necessities of the individual situation.

In asking for money for these objects I venture only to remind you that in this "Civilian War, if it had not been for the sacrifices of Belgium, you might your self have been in the position which you are now called upon to relive-Yours faithfully,MO

JAPANESE GOVERNMENTS

CONCESSION;

In response to the wishes of Sir John Jordan, the British Minister in Peking, says the Mainich, the Japanese Gorcza meat has decided to allow a few approved British steamers to go to Tsingtau under certain conditions, and this decision has been communicated to the Military Administration Office at Tangtau The opening of the port to British steamers will be notified to the British Minister in Peking on receipt of an answer from the Tsingtau Military authorities. ⠀⠀ The Tsingtau Customs question still remains unsettled, and the work of clearing mines from Kinochen Bay is uncompleted. Though these and many other obstacles to navigation are still present, adds the Osaka journal, the Government has opened part of the port to certain Japanese steamers, and in view of Great Britain having participated in the attack on Tsingtau and also of the business con- ections of British merchants in Shanghai and Chefoo with Tsingtau, the Japanese Government has decided to open the port to certain British steamere, as mentioned.
