line with most of the other. countries of the world the ques tion has arisen what is to be done about the old holidays or the decreeing of new ones... The topic has already been discussed frequently by the more intel ligent of the native community for they realise that something must be devised to take the place of the old play-days. There are those who say that the temple

handicapped because the chang ing of the calendar will throw tho peoplo out of their reckoning for determining the astrological datos. Be that as it may, it seems that Peking has already decided there shall be six authorized festivals, and, with the exception of the birthday of Confucius, none of them has anything to do |with the old templo festivities.

Daily Press.

***Japan's Move,

Japan has ordered one of her Army Divisions to Pingyang, according to the Japanese papers. The report has neither bean con firmed nor. denied, and. what amount' of truth there is in it, it is difficult to say, As is well known, Japan has immense bar racks at Pingyang, constructed evidently for future contingencies, and thus is fully prepared to deal with any situation that may arise. If the report is true, then apparently she deems the time noorly ripe for aotion. What special circumstances havo arisen. which could have induced Japan to take this step? Perhaps the principal cause is to be found in the soldiers' mutiny at Peking and the similar resulting disturbances in other parts of the country. Japan officially certainly did not look with pleasure on the sweep- ing away of the Manchu Dynasty, although its fall would have been less.objectionable if its place had not been taken by a republic, Japan with a republic on the East and a republic on the West dreads a decline of the imperial spirit, which'sha judges necessary for her development. When the news of the mating at Peking. reached Tokyo, however, it seem- ed that a republic was not so in evitable as was at first thought. Yuan Shib-kal's position from the Japanese point of view was severe- ly shaken, and it was possible that, after all, the republio of China might prove a dream. [45
