'What has to be taken into con- sidération in this matter, is that the new Emptre Flying Boat scheme, whereby all Arst class mail will be carried by air; will shortly be extended as far as Singapore. The scheme is now operating as far as Calro.. Recent- ly an experimental flight with most successful results was made to Karachi, and it is presumed that the Cairo-Karachi section will be put into commission with- out further delay, after which the Karachi-Bingapore section will be taken in hand.

Much sympathy will be extend- ed to Mrs. Hicks in the heavy loss

PRICE OF COAL
There were also two additional factors, One was the transfer of the express locomotives
to the Chinese section of the railway. This entailed a further loss on the revenue side, while on the ex- penditure side, owing to the un- favourable rate of the Hong Kong dollar the price of coal had gone up from $9.20 to $12.50 per ton.

ANXIETY CAUSED
One Japanese reconnottring plane flew Over Soochow and éaused considerable anxiety to the civilian pupulation who, however, refused to panic. From Soochow a reported was received to the effect that six Japanese bombers flew over the place on Sunday night and for a short time gave considerable cause for alarm. They were, how- ever, soon driven off by Chinese pursuiters, but not until they had Tal- dropped a number of bombs. yuan was also subjected to two air raids in the first of which two enemy planes were claimed to have been brought down following, a dog-fight. with "the defending planes. At 7 p.m. last evening the Japanese staged the second raid when four planes flew over the place but details of this have not yet been received.

The Chairman pointed out that already there had been several oz- ganisations formed to take the lead in this work. He then sug- gested a few possible means by which, though being students, they could give their assistance. He said that the schools should work together and undertake different. jobs such as to knit woollen vests and to make clothing and to collect contributions.

It was decided that "each school should endeavour donate a monthly subscription for the purchase of materials until the hostilities end. After discussion it was agreed that a central body should be formed to organise the work of the various schools.
