SOME years before the outbreak of war there were signs of increasing competition between British and German engineering interests in China. In the early part of 1912 many people at Home and in the Far East became aware of the formation of the British Engineers Association. This was brought about by a group of engineers and others interested in Ching for the express purpose of arousing the British manufac turar to the great opportunities awaiting his enterprise in China. It dealt very openly with German competition, It fre- quently approached the British Foreign Office concerning contracts and other com mercial matters in this part of the world It vehemently pointed out that the Cier man Consuls in China did everything possible to further German trade intaresta, and it went so far as 20 suggest that our own Consular service might help the manu-
