LETTER FROM SANTA CLAUS

TO THE

CHILDREN OF HONG KONG.

My dear young friends, The Editor is courteously conveying

My words to you in priating trim and aice,

Because it's far too cold to type, up here where I am staying,

And ink in fountain-pens all turns to ice!

You see, my home is up among the North Pele's'snow and icicles,—

I dress in furs and wool when out I go,

I have no chairs and rickshas, and as I'm too big for tricycles,

My reindeer pull my sleigh across the snow,

I'm working hard the whole year round for Michael, Joan and Betty,

And all the rest, in England and Heng Kong,

And lots of other places. big and busy, small and petty,

Where merry little girls and boys belong.

If you could see each “wind-up" toy, rach game, each sleepy dolly,

That I and all my elves ave now to pack,

You'd know how long it took to make them all, but oh, how jelly

I'll feel to stuff the last inside my sack 1.

There's only one thing all the year that makes my heart unhappy,-

It's when I'm looking through my spy.gissa tall, And see the little folks I love grow cross and mean and shappy.

And know they don't deserve my gifts at all!

Just think! I saw one tiny girl so fussy and unruly,

She slapped her amah Yes, you say For shame!"* And one small boy, too, made grimaces at a ricksha coolic,-

Oh, no, don't ask! I couldn't tell his name!

I know you wouldn't do such things! Like God's sweet sunshine-fairies

Who chase grim Giant Fog from off your Peak,

<

You've lit your bonny hearts up with the glow that never varies,

. Of love and kindness,-glorious lights to seek!

So when to-night comes, shut your eyes, don't leave a corner spying,

Be off to drentaland, every girl and boy!

And when up "blanket-fields and down sheet-lanes" you're gaily flying.

Then-in F'il pop, and tram those socks with joy!

And just one little word more-don't forget, before you're sleeping,

To think about that Baby in the hay,..

Who came to bless the children, and Whose Birthday now you're keeping,

Who gave this whole roun" world its Christmas Day!

Then here's to Merry Christmas How my sleigh-bells gladly jingle!

Away to southern climes without a pause) And may goodwill and peace chime in, and with their music mingle,

To herald-Your old comrade,–SANTA CLAUSE!

Hong Kong.

-CHEKIANG'S - POSITION-

EXPLAINED.

LOCAL AUTONOMY THE OBJECT.

Mr. Chu Eu Chang, Speaker of the Senate and one of the leading spirits of the Federation of the Three Provinces of Kiangsu, Chekiang and Anhui, in the course of an interview with a re- presentative of the N.-G. Daily News,

said that to one outside the political

arena the situation in Chekiang must appear wholly mysterious and it was necessary to obtain an insight of the conditions prevailing and the diferent political forces at work. The latter could te divided into three sections, viz., the Southerners at Changshan, the Chekiang forces in the vicinity of Hangchow, and the Allied troops stationed along the Shanghai-Hangchow Railway and the Kiangsu-Chexiang borders.

Klangsi-Chekiang Border. The Southerners' main forces, Mr. Chu said, had arrived at Changshan, a town on the Kiangsi-Chekiang border, about 500 by water, and 300 li overland, through mountain passes, from Bang chow. Owing to poor means of com- munication and the lack of sufficient junks to transport troops down the Chientang River, the Southerners Tound it difficult to come down river to join hands with General Chow Feng Chi, the Allied general" who commands the 3rd Division and who is said to have deserted

GLADYS JACKSON,

In view of such conditions, he said, war was inevitable and he was inclined to think that the first clash would take place, not around Hangchow or along the Shanghai-Hangchow litc, but near Changchow, on the Shanghai-Nanking Railway. Hangchow might be taken as a route station but not as a base, as the city was open to attack from all sides.

Mr. Chu finally denied that he had been appointed Civil Commissioner of

Marshal Sun Chuan Fang and accepted Chekiang and laughed at the reports to

Attempt that Falled.. Continuing, Mr. Chu said that General Chow had definitely expressed his at- titude and had circulated a telegram (which had been consored by General Chen Yi, Civil Governor of Chekiang) to the effect that he would adhere to the wishes of the people and perform his duties for the Kuomintang and the coun- try. During the recent care regarding the capture of Hangchow, Mr. Chu said, General Chow and two regiments, accom panied by a small band of Cantonese in mufti, actually entered the city but, upon seeing that they had too small a force to cops with the large number of loyal al lied troops, it was decided to withdraw and avoid any risk. General Chow then withdrew Fuyang to await the arrival of the main Cantonese force.

"Of course," Mr. Chu explained, "It was not against the Allied forces alone that they would have to fight, but against the Shantung-Fengtien forces as well, sa no action will be taken until the south- erners arrive at Tayang On the other band, the Allied troops are being posted along the Hangchow railway in large numbers and the Shantung troops, are drifting incessantly into Nanking.
