Germany's War Chost The war in Europe has now hsen in progress for something over sir weeks and has arrived it a point where the financial pro paredness of the belligerents can be considered in respect to pres · vions estimates. The German Army Act, which was passed a year ago, was based to a great extent on a book published by Dr. Riesser, a well-known economist in 1909, and so far as its provi sions relate to the Imperial war chest was largely founded on bis recommendations. Dr. Riessor placed the expense of mobilising the German army and fleet in the first air weeks of the war at' 800,000,000 and estimated that a further sum of $60,000,000 would

Philipson retired from the general managersbip, and the occasion was seized to consider the reorganisation of the staff into three divisions, respec tively under the manager, the chief engineer, and the secretary. The vacant post of manager was filled by Mr. O. Lowndes, pre- viously assistant to the chief. goods manager of the London and North-Western Railway.

The Development of Hankow.

The news telegraphed by our Peking Correspondent that the Chinese Government has entered into an agreement with Messrs. Samuel & Co., & well-known British flaancial bousa, for a loan of £10,000,000 sterling for the development of Hankow, is a wel come indication that the Gavern- ment, in spite of the adverse dir» cumstances which the ware ine Europa has set up, is keeping steadily in view the need, of pre- paring for the vast changes which the construction of railways and other means of peaceful revolu- tion and reform are destined to oreate in China. During the last ten or fifteen years it has been made increasingly manifest that the Wahan towns-Hankow, Wa chang and Hangyang-are dest- ined to become the commercial,

A rare operation in optical surgery was performed at a hospi

pieces of skin were taken from the arm of Misa Sarah Trego to make a new lid for her left eye. It is thought the sight of the eye which was rapidly failing on account of exposure, will be saved by the operation. Already the grafted skin has started to take root, and the patient can partly open and close the eyelid. After the akin was taken from Miss Trego's arm the scarred tissue surrounding. the-eye and the membrane of the lid were removed. In the deanded Faren the skin of the patient's arm
