ROCKETS AND FLARES.

FALSE ALARM IN NEW. TERRITORIES.

Rockote, and flares sent up at approximately 1.30 this morning, from the market town of Un Long in the New Territories, caused considerable speculation in police circles:

Un Long, although it claims to be a market town is, in point of fact, a rather large village and is served with no police station besides the kat-fong, or village guard organisation. In view of this fact there is an arrangement; whereby the "village elders are to set off rockets and flares if any. thing unusual happens and help is needed.

Consequently when the signal

Was

given this morning, the. police stations outlying were con- siderably porturbed. Lokmachau and Autau stations both noticed it, and they telephoned to head- quarters on this side of the har- bour, whilst other stations were also warned.

It was not until Inte this morning it was reported that all this hubbub had been caused by a false alarm.

HUNGARIAN RECONSTRUCTION.

L. O. N. COMMITTEE'S

REPORT.

The League of Nations' Council has adopted the report of the Com- mitteo on the Financial Recon-

struction of Hungary, recommend- ing the cessation of the functions of Mr. Jeremiah Smith from July 1st.

M. Dubois, chairman of the Com- mittee, pointed out that Mr. Smith's departure from Hungary did not mean the end of League control in respect of the balance of the Reconstruction Loan, amounting to 83,000,000 gold crowns and the revenues assign ed to the service of the loan, but the abolition of control over the Budget. M. Bethien expressed the gratitude of the Hungarian people for the effort resulting in the suc- cessful financial reconstruction in the short space of 21⁄2 years- Reuter,
