German Prisoners' Complaints.

ד.

It is reported that German prisoners in Japan complain that after such a long period of deten. tion they are suffering from "nerves" and have asked the authorities to lower the high obatracting fenos about the prison Po that they may

enjoy the view," which would probably tend to restore their "barvee." It would appear that they have “nerys” enough for anything to make such a request. The anthorities it in said, are considering" the advisability of complying with their modest demands.

The Chinese Coolia. Second Lieut. A. W. Lockhead, of the C. L. O writing in the Chineas Recorder with regard to the Chinese Labour Corps, says - A dry oanteen is established in every camp, and the coolies have sa opportunity to spend their frano a day as they please. I saw one man eat a tube of tooth paste, sad two others drink a bottle of Montserrat lime juice, usst, at s mitting. A British N. O, O. sold? a five abilling watch to a coolie for 75 francs, and was court martialled for the offence. At Winnipeg I saw a poolie sell a pair of common bamboo chop sticks to a Canadian for 25 cents. He was not court martialled for the offence.

Teaching of Chinese,

In the course of his report at the sanast aperch day at the Penang Free School, Mr. R. Pinborn ssid-All the ordinary work of the School was conducted in Eaglish, and Chinese was not part of the curriculum. An at tempt was being made to teach the Chinese characters to selected boys whose parenta desired it and whose proficiency in English was such as to justify their spending on another language. A Hokkien speaking Chinese mas ter had been engaged from Amoy, sad he hoped that dapite the epparently extraordinary diff. culty of the Chinese method of writing, the experiment would prove & emocesa Me Yeah Guan Ssak had rained subscriptiona among the Chinese of Day for cost: teater.
