If any Magi trates neglect to do this. the Governor warns them that severe measures will be taken to deal with them. This shows that the work of prohibiting opium smoking in this province is being taken up very seriously by His Excellency, in contrast to the previous Governor, General Lung Chai-kwong, who allowed opium dens to be opened freely.

YUNHAN SOLDIERS REWARDED

The first hard fact that they had to look in the face was that a bad blow was struck at the hopes of Ireland by the rising in Dublin. The cause of Ireland had gone through many vicissitudes. It had never been so near complete and final triumph as it was when some maligu influence among its own people caused the Dublin rising He did not impugu any man's motives, least of all the motives of the dead, but the fact remained that the rising had been engineered by men who were enemies of the constitutional move ment for Home Rule The answer was this-Was the constitutional movement to go on or should it be abandoned?

"These are the new associates of the Anti-Conscription party, concluded Mr. Hall. No wonder they want to see the referendum beaten. These are the men who honeycombed the trade-union organ- sations and breathed into the Labour movement their spirit of enmity to the Empire. These are the men who with their countrymen in Germany would boastfully rejoice if Australia turned from the path of honour and duty and degraded itself by giving a 'No' vote on the 28th." (Cheers.)
