The political situation is by no mesus clear at the moment. It is true that the ministers ap- proved by Parliament have been officially confirmed in their positions by presidential mandate and the two vacancies have been filled by making the Minister of Interior also act concurrently as Minister of Agriculture and Com merce, A portfolio which he has not actually relinquished and by making the

Vico- Minister of Education take charge of the affairs of the Ministry. In this way the Pre- mier has not had occasion to submit othernames to Parliament. He has offset the schemes of the Anfu Club by appointing bis own men as vice-ministers in such departments as he was not per- mitted to have his own men, but the Minister of Finance, Li Shih- hao, threatened to resign when he learned that a vice-minister had been appointed to his depart ment of whom he disapproved, and his wishes are being met by removing the offending in- dividual from this post.

ern militarists and the Southern militarists are endeavouring to reach an arrangement amicable to themselves. That this course will advance the cause of con- stitutional government is not at all sure, but it may bring a sem- blance of peace and unity which may help the country out of its present difficulties.

Yesterday's Angio-American tiffin was unusually interesting. There was a large attendance, who listened with interest to three short speeches. One was from Mr E. B. Bruce, one of the | American beakers now in the city, the second was from Mr Johnston, the British adviser to the Ministry of Com- munications, and the third was from Mr Lennox Simpson. Mr Jobnston depreciated the report that Home was no place in which to live and asserted that it was still God's own country, afirming his belief in the ability of the British people to grapple with the problems of the day. Putnam Weals made an appeal for closer association between the Anglo- Saxons and the Chinese, citing what had been done in Shanghai and Tientsin by the formation of the American-British-Chinese Clubs.

That the Japanese are alert as to their post-bellum opportunities is proved by the report, given on unquestioned authority, that they have purchased seven patents in Berlin from the Germans, includ- ing Telefunken. It is said that they will erect a'large and power- ful wireless station in the East in the spring.
