We dislike to say it, but it is a fact that many persons who, during the Gral couple of months of war; showed signs of being "rowdy," while being disposed to ignore the Civil Police, exhibited most remarkably good behaviour if the military police happened to come in sight. In this way, and in various others, the army men have been useful. Bat the time for dramatic affect has gone by.

The other point of interest is the amendment of by-laws, whereby the Government claims the right, after due notice has been given, to outer Chinese houses, render them habitable and charge the rendering to the property owners as 83ne & move as any we have seen in Hongkong for a long while past. The Chinese ** property owner is not a being who claims our unfailing love and respect. The persons who inhabit houses in the shabbier parts of the Colony are usually not only poor but extremely ignorant where the lawn of health are concerned. This is not the case with a certain class of owners that makes it its business (28 rosy be seen from our police reports from time to time) to dodge the Law when possible, for the sake of saving two or three dollars' worth of die- femper. Why should the Government tolerate this utter indifference on the part of auch persons to the general health? Privately we consider that they are getting off cheaply when the official price is stated at three dollare. We would willingly see it ast at five-with fine of a hundred dollars thrown in for breach of the law."
