It looks as if the summer at Kuliang would be unusually lively. All availablo houses have been bes poken, and the number of residents will probably be larger than for sovera yoara past. It is to be hoped that none of those who plan ned to come to Kuliang from out- ports will be led by the Com munist scare of two weeks ago to change their minds. This scare may have served a good purpose by waking up the authorities to a Case of their responsibilities, and it is unthinkable that there should bo. a recurrence of anxiety for n long time to come. The guard of armed police has already gone up the meuntain, and quite a number of foreigners have gone up or will be going during this weekend.
