South China Morning Post.

The Devil and the Deep Sea. It would be idle to deny that the Germans are capable of stern resistance in their own territory or, indeed, before it be entered from the west, as we are informed that concrete trenches are already being constructed in Belgium, bat when threatened on two frontiers, the danger of the situation will· not be lost on Berlin. The sig- nificance of the crisis lies in the extreme mobility of the Russian forces and the seeming inability of the Austro-German forts to withstand their attack. Shortly Germany will be called upon to deside whether she will relinqua bor campaign in France and Belgium or give way precipitately

before the Bassian millions. She is faced on both sides by powers of eadarance infinitely greater than her own and by a mors invincible determination to con quer at all hazards. Looked at in the light of these circumstances, Germany's plight indeed must give her statesmen "furiously to think."

The Rubber Industry.- At all eventa so far, the price of rubber, instead of falling as great number of people imagined It would do, has steadily risen, and there has been no difficulty at all in disposing of our product promptly and satisfactorily. Ac- cordingly, the outlook for the mo- ment appears essentially favoura ble, and I think that we can look forward to the future with entire. confidenoo. The subject is not without interest for China Though China grows no rubber, the prosperity of the industry in a matter of concern to many thousands of China's subjects. It is to Ching that the planters of the Federated Malay States look for a large proportion of their labour staff. When war broke ont and spread dismay among the rubber planters, not only did the stream of emigration from China suddenly cease, but thou- sands of Chinese were repatriated, only to swell the growing army of men thrown out of employment by the alegnation of trade which China suffers in common with the rest of the world. It scarcely neada to be added that news of Improving prospects for the rab bor industry will be as welcome to these repatriated coolies as to investors in rabber plantations.

Long 18th July, 1018,

⠀⠀⠀ As quite a lot has been said recently of ballets, fair and foul, of the Dum-Dam and other varie tier, and as much is likely to be heard of this subject in the near fatare it is of interest to note what is said on the matter by an expert. Discussing expanding bullets, a writer in "Engineering" Bays that any bullet is considered as an expanding bullet that is so made as to spread or mushroom on impact with its objective. But it is more usual to restrict the.

provision artificially to assist or facilitate their expansion, and, generally speaking, the objective is assumed to be game or other Evidently, if the target be hard living quarry of some description.

enough, overy bullet will expand to some degree. The means usually adopted in the case of the solid load bullet is to drill ar form a hollow in the nose, as familiar to all who have used the sporting rife. Another well-known method is to split the nose for a short distance by two (outs at right

angles. In the case of the nickel- covered bullet the drilled nose again is sometimes adopted, or the nickel sheath at the nose of point of the ballet is removed, the lead core being laid bare. All these devices have been prac tised in connection with sporting ammunition for many years.
