NAVY. R.E.

This game was by no means so uneven as the result makes it appear. The sailors did quite a lot of attacking but missed a good many chances to acore, whereas the soldiers seized nearly all those which came their way. The game opened in a sensa tional manner, Millard quietly opening the scoring for the R. E. with a shot that, with a little luck, Crocker could have saved. Just previously Hutchingson had put a pass right across the mouth of the RE, goal, but there was no-one to receive

it. Millard again became dangerous but was neatly robbed of the ball by Hol- lamby. The Navy left wing then got away, but hung on to the ball a trifle too long and Coxen captured it. Scott then, by very clever football, made a nice open- ing for Townsend, who, taking advantage of it, scored a good goal. Wilkinson was then called upon to save and did so in good style, but the Navy forwards always seemed to shoot straight at him, and thus lost several golden opportunities. White had an opening and should have passed to Scott, who was standing unmarked in

It boils down to a question of finding the means of persuading or compelling those who can't or won't fight to pay for the child- ren of those who would but can't.

PROTEST FROM THE PROVINCES. Against the action of the Japanese, the Government is in receipt of a number of telegrams from the provinces. Mr. Tan Yen-kai, Tu Chun of Hunan, has wired stating that nominally the Japanere have withdrawn the police station at Amoy, but in reality they are still exer- cising police rights just the same. He requests the Government to make strong representations against this illegalen croachment, and to protect the sovereign rights of the country. General Tang Chi-yuo, Tu Chun of Yunnan, has des- patched a telegram to the Government to the same effect.

"Many married men going home would, of course, require nothing for the first year or so. Others with moderate means would be given as much over and above their private income as would be necessary to maintain their children decently, while still others whom I know would require nothing whatever except in case of their deaths, when their child- ren would be thrown on the world with out support. Each case would, of course, be inquired into fully, and proper de- dustions made for private incomey, separation allowance, pensions, insur- ance policies, etc."

CONSCRIPT."

The Nanking Provincial Assembly has also been heard from on the subject. The members of the Assembly state that the illegal establishment of a police station at Amoy and the arbitrary ex- ercise of police rights in the port on the part of the Japanese are gross assaults upon the sovereignty of the country.

"In respect of income tax 'Conscript," They request the Government to lodge vigorous protests with the Japanese perhaps, underrates the difficulties of against this action with the view to asserting national rights,
