EVEN o Oursory perusal of the facts

However, even such unworthy motives may operate to the general good in this particular instance especially as it forms part of a fairly concerted movement in favour of the cur sation of hostilities. The Government will be glad to recognise the movement for the very good reason that it is unable to finance further military effort, which costs something like $24,000,000 a month. The South, too, is similarly situated, and, all things considered, the present offers getting together as any yet presented. as good a prospect of the two parties An organisation known as the Provincial Assembly Union is being called to cotsven: tion at Nanking, where it is expected that the rival sections of the country, both tired of their warring activitiek, will be happy to meet and discuss. ar- zangements for an iss foolish internecing strife.
