WHAT THEY THINK.
China Mail,
The Coal Mines Bill. The Bill which the Asquith Government has introduced "con- tains no penal olanses, and hence | we are not surprised that in ̧! some quarters it has been con- demned as a colossal sham," while more intemperate writers still deolare that it "ropresents
nervoloss surrender to the Labour desperadoes." No minor will be compelled to work against his own inolination, it is trus, but if he accepts the minimum waga fixed by his own District Board he will be bound to abide by the agreement to do a fair day's work for his wages, Bhirking will not be countenanced and so owners aro fairly well assured of a reasonable output of coal in return for a rea- sonable wage.

Rice.
The failure of the rice crops in
so many countries (Siam, Cochin- China, Java, Japan and the Philippines) is a serious matter for China, where the area of cultivation has doubtless been considerably restricted in con sequence of the withdrawal of so large a body of mon from the fields for military service. Whils the resulting increase in the price of the staple food of the people will entail great hardship in a country where famine already prevails over a considerable area, yet the country may find some THE LATEST PICTURE PLAYS consolation in the prospect of the high price of cereals offering what is perhaps a necessary inducement THE SISTERS PRICE-tural labourers among the die- the agricul banded troops to return to
