The Press bas many times dis- cussed the unfair use of the word

"English as applied to the people of the British Isles, but it has been left to a local padre to point out that there are times when the boot is on the other leg. The Rev. H. C. Moyle, in his ser- mon on Sunday, remarked that, when an Irish or Scots regiment

As we remarked on St. George's Day, clannishness and special partriotism are far less strong in the people of England than in those of the other nationalities at Home; may-be because the heavier Teutonio element has such a large share in the composition of the English. Perbapa the illustration afforded by the regiments was not of the happiest, for there is not an English regiment that we over heard of which does not contain a very large percentage of Iriah, Soots and Welsh.

HONGKONG. TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1915.

HONGKONG BUSINESS MEN IN COUNCIL.

The annual mesting of the local Chamber of Commerce is bever without interest, for even if Hongkong is nothing but a tiny dot of empire, it is, in most respects, the centre of the Mother Country's trade with perhaps the most important market of the world that of the Far East. This year, in the nature of things, special intereat was bound to attach to the gathering, in that the world is at war; and though, happily, there has been no question of strife in our immediate neighbourhood, a number of questions contingent on the political situation must necessarily arise. Of course there were, fo addition, the usual matters to discuss; the same old wearisome ground to be gone over as regards piracies, the wireless station that is to be, the coinage an ever-fruitful topic-telegraph ràlea, and other little trifles, from bills of lading to boycotte. But these matters, important though they have been in other years, must needs fall back before such topica as cargoes in enemy ships and trading with the enemy in general...
