As the women military official Baid, "We were out of ammuni tion and if we ran they would kill, ta, so it was better to surrender "— but their speeches would lead one to think that they bad not found the actual practice of Communistic principles as attractive na the pro- paganda bad led them to believe.

"I'd Like to be a Soldier."

In the brigadier's address he told of a meeting which he held in Loh-hoe, at which the question was asked, "Would you rather be a soldier, a local militia man, d Communist an ordinary farm- er For a long while no one dared to answer, and then a twelve yead old lad stood up. He said, I'd like to be, a soldier, for then I would have food and clothing and a gun to use. It would be All right to be a militia man, for then I'd at least have food and clothing, and perhaps a gun. And if I were a Red I might not have very good clothes, but I would have food and gun. But I do not want to be an ordinary farmer, for the common people are just helpless. I know. The coldiers came and took all our money, the Communists killed my father, and then the militia took our cow." In relating the incident, the general said that that boy ought to have a chance 'ta get an education,

"Hill People and the 'Reds.'"

The general also spoke of the great difficulty of scouring the co operation of the liao people in the mountainous interior, where, a Jarge number of Communists are known to be in hiding. Some years ago certain military leaders invited a group of Miao to a conference, to be held in an open, grassy place. When the Mino had assembled they word ruthlessly killed, and ever since others of their racs have re solutely refused to come out from their mountain homes for: Tány conference. They are capeclally frightened by the airplanes, which they call Heaven-Gods, and since the airplanes must of necessity beck an open place for landing, the Ming are more suspicuous The head of the Communists, Cang Vun Zi, zie still a large, and reward of 80,000 is offered for his capture, alive, or $2,000 for him dead.

The Official New Year

THE CENSUS: SMALL NUMBER "OF FOREIGNERS

PROPOSED EDUCATIONAL

REFORM

(From Our Own Correspondent)

Canton, January '1.⠀ ⠀ The official new year begins to day and there have been real efforts on the part of the Government and others to celebrate and populariso the new festive season. lieginning to-day, all Government Offices will suspend activities for three days. Public buildings are beflagged and decorated, and a memorial service. was held this morning at the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall to celebrate both the new year and the anniversary of the formal declara tion of the Republican Form of Government for Chins at Nanking 22 years ago, Afterwards thero was review of troops, including land and air forces, at Tintong.

Public Celebrations. Attempts are also being made by certain sections of the public to adapt themselves to the new exten day, and thus many of the frid tional Chinese Now Year customs aro being observed. Especially in the Tungahan residential quarter, there has been much bring of erackars sand "other" nigng of the tretive puria On the prend the new year, flower vendors had ställe. put up in different parts of the city, though these efforts did not approach the hustle and crowding that attend the annual flower markets during the "old" new-year İsassiniozu«faw days ago,- wome shop-keepers also had their manusi house-cleaning. Thus in various waya the more enlightened sections of the people are striving to co operate with the Government in adopting the Gregorian, calendar. But the majority of the public re- main unperturbed, and are not likely to change their traditional .customs so easily. The "old". Chinese New Year is only about 25 days away, and the usul popular celebrations and rejoicings will be held on that occasion.

Honam Fair.

The Fair in Honam, sponsored by the mechanics and railwaymen in Canton in aid of the Manchurian“ || volunteers, is now open In addi tion to the much-talked of "chou sic exhibition, there are also a number of other displays had a variety of entertainments. A gate charge of 10 cents is made for en- trance, and it is estimated that about $2,000 daily will be realised from this source alone. Besides, there are a number of bative, manu- factured articles on sale at the Fair, these having beer contributed by the manufacturers. The Fair is to Last for seven days, during which. timo a substantial, sum will bo raised.

Census Revelations.

With reference to the population of Canton rity; more details have since been published of the result of the census taken in October by the Census Commission, which on nounced few days ago that the total number of people in the city, according to the returns is 1,042,830, This number includes all citizena living in houses within the muni cipal police limits, and the floating population. The latter consists of 02,016 persons, living in 20,165 boata. Those who live in suburbe which have already been placed: within municipal limits, but have not been put under city police juris diction, are not included in the figures, as their numbers have not yet been taken. The foreign: oomi- munity in Chaton, according to the same "figures, consists of only 308 persons. It is thought that thete may be more, but as the census was taken on a Baturday evening, per haps some were away for the week- "and, and are therefore not Included:

in the returns).
