of its work of reconstruction, to celebrate the extension of the city limits. The new Yokohama, which fast is giving promise to be, when completed, a far better city than that which went down before the entaclysm of 1923, has taken in two new towns and seven adjoining villages, has extended its size by nearly four times what it was be- fore the earthquake and has added approximately another 150,000 to its population.

The central and most distinguish ed figure of the day's celebrations was His Imperial Highness Prince Chichibu, who motored all over seeing for himself the strides Yo- kuhama has made since the earth quake. The Prince paid a high tribute to the indomitable spirit of the foreign community, who were determined to let Yokohama neither perish nor slide back into a city of second or third-rate importance. His Highness signed his name in the guest-book of the Yokohama United Club, which has history all its own. It was about the only thing saved from the United Club and amongst those who have signed it are the Prince of Wales, Prince George and Marshal Joffre...

As a rule, they do not attack the local peasants and do their best to stand well with them. Most often the bandits appear on a road dis- guised in a gendarme's uniform. Travellers and pleasure parties be come their easy prey; cars and coaches are stoppel and the cupants robbed before they realise that the presumed gendarmes are robbers in disguise."

Usually no resistance whatever is opposed, as the bandits are keen on shooting and profess no esteem for a human life. They rarely, however, do any harm to women.
