GENERAL' NEWS.
Kaigan÷Vega Raliway,
The proposal of constracting the Kalgan-Urge Railway has "again been'ïévited. It is estimated
that the line will cost $40,000,000. | The Government intende to com- plete the line in ten years, so that during the period of construction, only $4,000,000 needs be reised each year. Mongolia's co-operation will be invited in carrying out this project.
Interned Austrians at Farm Work.
Farmers in Surrey bave been informed that miny Austrian and Hungarian civilian prisoners of war are available for work on the land. Scores are already at work. They are usually able to speak a little English. In no case has there been any difficulty between them and the English labourers. Farmers lodge and feed the men and pay them the district rate of deducting board and wegen, lodging at the rate of 12 3d a week.
No Record.
His Excelletoy the High Com- missioner, says the Malay Mail. bas received information from the Army Connoil through the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the effect that owing to the very rapid expansion of the Royal Flying Corps, and the unceasing genero- nity of toe varicus donors in pre- senting machines, the project of keeping records of the work of individual presentation machines bas reluctantly to be abandoned in the field owing to the large amcunt of work involved. It is, therefore, greatly regretted that
record particular
ofi the good work performed by any of the Malayan aeroplanescan now be given. It may be of interest to the donors of these machines to know that they have all taken their share with other machines in the general offeneive on the Western Front

The fire brigade cams to the re- ecae, but the mes did not subside until a part of the build- ing that was occupied by the editorial staff, was burat down. Three members of the fire brigade were seriously injured by touch- ing a broken electric wire. For- tunately, their wounds were not fatal, As the day following the accident was a national holiday, when no Chinese papers were not published, the fire did interrupt the regular issue of the paper the publication of which Was resumed, yesterday, The damage caused is estimated at about $200.
