Growing Importance of the

Work.

The other day the headmistress of the Ying Wab Girls' School represented the imparative need

of that institution) for more space and better equipped elasarcoma.** | A similar statement fall yesterday from the lips of the headmistress of St. Paul'a Girls' School.

resources..

Closing her report on the year's work at St. Paul's, yesterday, Miss K. Woo said:

**There can be no doubt that the School is meeting the need of an important section of the Chinese community; but unfortunately wej have outgrowa the number that the present premises can accommodate. Ia isch, the existing building is old and dil pidated and is situated in a noisy locality, being surrounded by tene- ment houses on all sides. We are

also greatly hampered by having no playground, and it is so essen tisl that the physical side of the children should have its full deve lopment. In view of the rapid growth of the School, I venture to express the hope that the Garera. meat will, in the near future, graat usa suitable site, for erecting there- On a new building. with a gymos- sium and a playground. If a site ia granted, I am sure that the friends and parents of the girls will help us to raise part of the cost of the building.**

THE PACIFIC PACT.

Washington, "Jan. 18.

It is reliably stated that the fate of the Four Power Pacific Pact may be decided by ex-President Wilson, who hitherto since his retirement has refrained from interference in politics. Apparently Mr. Wilson oppose the Past on the ground that it does not con- stitute a minor League of Nations, nor tend to promote that idea;; but merely constitutes another balance of power agreement, Weir It is expected that to result in further wars and entanglements. Mr. Wilson will shortly make public a pronouncement, danouncing the Pact. Democratic circles predict that Mr. Wilson's action will) detach at least six of the fourteen Democrats now supporting the Treaty, leaving only six Republicans required to defeat the Pact, the irreconcilables, led by Senators Borah, La Follette and Hiram Johnson, doubtless providing the necessary reinforcement

ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS.

London, Jan. 13.

M. Pontare and Mr. Lloyd George exchanged cordial telegrams on the occasion of the formation of the pew Paris ministry, M. Poincare declaring that France will hasten to resume, in the most cordial spirit, examination of Anglo-French questions, and firmly hoping that by mutual confidence they will succeed in solving the questions in the best interests of the two countries.
