Should Japan Restore It?

11.

Recently telegram was ad- dressed to the Government by the returned students from Japan in which it is stated that when

·Japán · drolerad war against Germany the Japaneės Govora- ment agreed to retura Tringtan to Obina when the European War comes to an end. Now that the War has terminated the : Gɔvern/ meat should set Japan to restore Tsingtad unconditionally in order to fulfil her ·farmer promise. In this convection it is interesting to note that a number of M. P's have #abmitted a Bill proposing that China's delegates to the Pesos Conferezos should press for the nailification of the Kisochow Convention of 1897. As if the declaration- of `war between China and Germany has not abrogated all Sino German tréation eto 1-Peking Leader. Baron Hayashi on the Question.

Baron Hayehi, the "retiring Japanese Minister, is said to have expressed his opinions se follows on the disposal of Tsingtan after the European War:

"It is extremely difficult for one to express adequate viewe regarding the disposal of Tsing tan. With a view of securing peace and order and in accord apce with Article 5 of the pesos. terms suggested by President Wilson, dealing with disposal of colonies, Teingtan should be disposed of socording to the will of the residents, there, Sirce Germany has declared that she will never return it to its original owner, it is clear how the territory will be disposed of. Bat Teing. ten in Chinese territory thoush it i has some connection with Ger. many. Therefore, all matters relating to Taingtan should be decided by Chias" and Japan jointly, sincerely and frankly. It cannot be settled at the PenoS Conference simply because it ba been Germen's lassed territory; and let other countries also have a voice.in its settlement,” elo.

AUDIBLE PRINT. Trataing the Bilad to Read. The "épiophone,” as ita Greek name denotes, is an instrament which converts optical effects into phonie or sound effota. It was) invented in 1914, the first year of the war, by Dr. E E Fournier d'Albe, special lecturer in physics at the University of the Punjab, Labore, as the cutcome of a series of researches on the half-metal selenium carried out mainly at the University of Birmingham.

The distinctive property of «selenium, se explained by Pro-

fessor d'Albe in the care of a lestors at King's College, S'rand, in connection with the British Scientific Products Exhibition, is that it responds to light by becoming more conductive when illuminated. By translating light into electricity it enables light to 'do certain things which other

wire could be dosa only by the switching on of a current. In demonstration of this aotion, the lecturer exhibited a working model of a lighthouse which lighted up automatically in the da k and extinguished itself the esine way at dawn.

WHY WORRY?

"W

We THY worry? The War's over!" So il

bave ali heard that remark-nere-than once, but there is much to "worry" "about yet. We're not cut of the game simply because the Buns have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Faif is surely not the limit of your sacrifice! There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have bad, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. It is our duty then to "worry," în order that the maimed and sick, the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us here owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the war-a debt which we can never repay. But we can show our appreciation by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged at Eome, Mcney is urgently needed.. Shall wegrudge it now that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day sad St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down id the annals of the Colony's giving as another, endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achievements on the battlefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Offering worthy of the Colony.
