·SHANSI-NOT KWANGTUNG. Recently, there have been two, references in Reuter's messages to the prosecution of extensive reforms in Shanai, better known as China's" Model Province," The reports are encouraging, especially at this time of genern gloom, and they direct attention, the Peking Daily New says, to the remarkable administration which General Yen Hai-shan, Military tioverner, has exercised over the province ever since the beginning of the Republic.
Shansi has a territory of 81,800 are miles and a population of 12,200,450 in- habitants. Just because Governor Yen pas rever left his jurisdiction during the last ten years and, wore particularly, because ho has kept himself as well as his province Bloof" from the maelstrom of palities, Shansi is undoubtedly to-day the best goyerbed, happiest and most powerful af all the provinces And this makes the success of the Model Province all the more conspicuous.

INTERPORT LAWN BOWLS. HONGKONG DEFEAT HANKOW, From the NC. Daily News of Septem- ber 9th:-

The first of the three interport matches was played yesterday on the green of the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Club when Hongkong met Hankow. There was large crowd of spectators present, includ ing many indies, and the green was in Age condition. Hongkong proved far too strong for Hankow and won easily by 19 ahots. Although the margin was large it must not be assumed that it was one-sided. There were several very Bus heads which were fiercely contested.
Hankow won the ties and scored a

One of the most notable reform so far launched is along the line of popular education. The Governor wrote three Books and distribute them bronde ast The first is throughout the province. "What a citizen ought to know: "), the second, What village presidents and vice-presidents ought to know!" and third, "Laws and punishtuents." The frst contains eight chapters as follows;-- The citizen's virtue, the citizen's know. ledge, the citizen's wealth, the family. "society, the government, the world (that 100

I have given these books some what careful examination, especially 18-0 the firet, and would say that, on the 10 whole, the Governor has done nu admit 17-0 able piece of work, although, of course, 19.0 there are many evidences that his train ing and his point of view are those of the military man. Shansi is probably at present (1919) the best-governed and most peaceful province in China, and it is safe to say that it would remain permanently so if the people were faith. fully to live up to the instructions their govertor has given them.
