PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE.
Washington, Des 2 President Wilson in a message to Congress has recom mended the establishment of a badget system. He stated that the Feace Treaty would be discussed in a separate message. He recommended legislation to combat the high cost of living, labour unrest, radicalism" and readjustment to a peace- time basis. He urged readjustment of the system in order to conform to the fact that the United States is the world's greatest capitalist. The President declared that the Govern- ment must recognise collective bargaining for hamane objects. Labour must not be treated as a commodity. The workmen's right to strike was inviolate and no Government ought to interfere with it, but it had the predominant right to protect all its people against the challenge of any class. The message sternly waras extremists against direct action in pursuance of their demands

THE SILVER MARKET.
Lundua, Der. 4. luntagu's report says: The market remained heavy on news that the United States Government is offering silver dollars in exchange for gold dollars and quotations fell on the 8th to 723d, ash and 713d, forward. Subsequently under the influence of a falling United States exchange the price began to climb daily. Continental and trade demands are languishing owing to the dearness of the metal and manufactured goods and foreign silver coin are being realised freely as bullion, so the governing factor here is rather the question of United States exchange than supply and demand.

INTERESTING WEEK-END
PLAY,
Owing to great pressure on our space to-day it is not possible to give the usual full details of Saturday's cricket, despite the fact that there were three in- teresting League matches played together with some friendlies. The following short summaries will have to suffice
די
CIVIL SERVICE V. KOWLOON. This match, played on the Civil Service Ground, resulted in a draw though the home team can be counted unfortunate in not winning. They batted first and thanks chiefly to Wood (69), Hutchison (31), Syme Thomson (37), Piercy and Fincher (17 each) and Ling (16), knocked up 202 for 8 wickets, when they declared. Kowloon did not start in promis- ing style, but Braga (28), Pestonji (41) and Carr (21), held on until light was failing. When the stumps had to be drawn Kowloon had scored 129 for 9 wickers, the last few minutes witnessing determined efforts by the Civil Service bowlers to get the last batsman out. The Kow- loon players admit that they were lucky to share the points. Ling for the Civil Servants had the best bowling average of the match, taking four wickets for 9 ruis,
H.E.O.C. v. R.G.A. Playing on their own ground the Club had to acknowledge defeat to the R.G.A to the tune of 91 runs.
The gunners batted first and showed strong batting powers, only one man failing to make double figures. "Lieut. Sutherland was an easy top scorer with 50 runs. The innings was declared closed at 179 for six wickets. The Club failed to make acy stand against the bowling. In fact Capt. Davies provided the feature of the match by taking 9 wickets for 38 runs, actually per- forming the hat trick." Pearce was the highest scorer for his side (21), and was followed by Brand (16). The Club were all dismissed for 88 runs, losing their third consecutive match in the League. Captain Davies' bowling was in a class to itself, but Johnstone, for the Club, took five for 71.
A New Kind of Tree!
ROYAL NAVY V. C. R. C. A: the C. R. C. the bone team also had to acknowledge defeat. the Navy winning by 58 runs. The homesters batted first and com- piled 113, towards which M. P. Shin (32) and G. Lee (31) were the largest contributors. The Navy had a very useful batting side and passed their opponents total at the 7 wicket stage. Lt-Com. Creig played well for his 51, when he retired, and other good scores were made by Pay. Lieut.
Lt. Robinson (39) and Pas. Halhorn (31). The naval men made 171 before they were dis- missed. In the bowling Lee for the Chinese did well to get 6 wickets for 28 runs, and the Rev. Hastings, of the Navy, secured 6 wickets for 40 runs.
