The belief has widely prevailed in Jermany that during the summer orautumn Groat Britain meditated and was even prepared for an aggressive attack on Germany, It way with some truth be said that this bolfof infected the minds of a good many Englishmen, who saw confirmation in overy in- nocent movement of the British Fleet.

Hongkong's Water.

So far as Pokfulam is concern od, we have always boon and still are convinced that a great doal- too much has been made of the likelihood of contamination. It has been admitted all along that the place is not an ideal one for a resorvoir, with the collect- ing area topped with human lin- bitations to the extent it is. Stit the supply for a large soution of the Western portion of the city has been draws from this source for many years and we have yet to hear of any serious epidemio occurring through usage of the.. water obtained therefrom. There seems to be no need for this sup- ply being discarded pending the completion of big water soheme.

It must not be thought that we in any way approve. the" slightest relaxation in the caro lớ

be taken in connection with the water supply, but in all that is done the cost should as nearly as possible be commensurate with The degree of benefit accruing to the community. We have failed as yet to perceive that any great peril has been incurred through The Government'e" neglect, of: Pokfalum reservoir and the Al bany filter beds, and we are of opinion the present grounde for complaint have boog considerably overstated.
