The entry of the two Generals Into the committee has drawn com ment from critics to the effect that "military men have now, occupied the committee as they have occupled Peking," but responsible Chinese circles are of the opinion that the Committee has been greatly strengthened. They point out that the outstanding figures on the Committee; Wang Shih-chen and Chon Erh-haun, possess the confidence of Chang Tso-lin and Wu Poi-fu, while the two Generals have given assurances that they will respect Wang Shih-chon's authority and aid the Committee in handling military "questions, hitherto hampered by administra- tive action.

Hongkong, April 24, 1926. Financial drrangements to honour the Fengtien notes, which are widely circulating in Peking, [and the extension of the Committee of Safety, together with the grow- ing belief that Chilli-Fengtien discord is unlikely notwithstanding the vast propaganda to that effect, have created a more optimistic feeling to-day. The Chinese are carrying on as though they hadn't a care, viewing with characteristic sang froid the present high cost of living, dwindling of supplies; pros- pects of a very poor harvest through interrupted cultivation, virtual certainty of an early re- newal of warfare against the Kuominchun and The prob. ubility of long drawn discus- sions, intrigues and arrangements which the reconstruction of the government is bound to entail.

IT IS really an unforgettable display. IT IS TWO HOURS OF GENUINE PLEASURE SUCH AS 'ONE RARELY HAS.

China Press:

Those who failed to see the Russian Ballet at the Carlton Theatre Missed one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATIONS EVER GIVEN HERE. The whole Performance is one OF EXQUISITE BEAUTY,

Shanghai Times:

Ballet dancing in Russia has apparently achieved a very hich standard if one can take the Moscow State Ballet ag a criterion.

Shanghai Mercury :

It is difficult to find words to adequately describe the immeasurable beauty and rythmic movements of these terpsichorean artistes. RARELY, if ever, have Shanghai theatre-going folk been, treated to SUCH A FEAST of SHEER DELIGHT.
