Iar in many details and many who have lived through the changes in Hunan believe the whole technical structure is based on Russian models.
Oficials in the Hankow Govern- ment, however, deny any similari ty. Arrivals, both. Chinese and foreign, from the outports unani- mously declare that the revolu- tion, is no longer Nationalist but is Communist. The peasants have been elevated to positions of do- minance and the unions are omnipotent. The Nationalists con- stantly compare the present re- volution to the French Revolution, but the analogy scarcely holds.
A Catholic missionary from Hengehow told of confiscation and the occupation of all mission pros perty in that area and said that Hankow is powerless to do any thing except to make promises in reply to protests. The National- ists are unable to control the ris ing tide of pensuntry.
Demands for Funds.
During last week the pensante demanded $10,000 from the mis- sion at Hengehow through the Chinese pastor who is remaining there The pastor transmitted the demand to Hankow and it was ro fused promptly, but the mission members fear that the result will be the destruction of all of their property.
One interesting phase in the Hengchaw area is reported, that of a campaign to force the for- cigners through the mission to re- fund the Boxer indemnities paid! to the European Towers. The campaign was taken up by the newspapers, but so far nothing bos come out of it.
Doughty missionaries are eager to return to their parishes, refus-. ing to admit that Christianity has failed in China and declaring that the situation is fundamentally un- changed, Once the present dis turbing elements are removed the Chinese will welcome their foreign friends once more, Their entire arguments are based upon the eradication of the Bolshevists.
Considerable anti-Christian pre- paganda is being carried on in the Chinese press.

There was a dramatic opening to the final day's racing at the East- er flying meating at Bournemouth. The first race had not been in pro- gress more than a minute before ons of the competing machines crashed just outside the bounds of the Ensbury Park Racecourse, the pilot and passenger having a miru- culous escape from death."
The pilot was Flight-Lieutenant G. I. Thomson, chief instructor to the Hampshire Aeroplano Club, and the passenger Mr. W. J. Stanford, Assistant ground engineer to the club, Mr. Stanford received a slight cut on the neck, but the pilot' was uninjured.

Their machine, a D.II. Moth, was one of nine planes taking, part in the first hent of the Bourne- mouth and District Hotels and Re- staurants sweepstake. It rose-normally and- had reached a height of a hundred feet, when the engine "spitted," and the revolutione dropped to such a degree that the pilot realis- ed he would have to make a forced landing. Accordingly he turned with the object of returning to the race-course, but before he could' carry out his purpose the machine fell on a fence of corrugated iron topped with barbed wire, Am- bulance men and officials rughed to the spot expecting to find the men killed, or, at any rate, Injured, but, to their surprise, they were met by the pilot and his passenger, both of whom had managed to extricate themselves from the wrecked ma- chine.
The incident was an unexpected thrill for the spectators, who, in the excitement of the moment, over- looked the fact that Mr. Dudley Watt, the scratch, was tearing round the twenty-niile course in his S.E. 6A machine at a speed of 114 miles an hour to win the heat. The second heat went to Major L. P. Openshaw, who recently had a flying honeymoon.
Mr. Watt was not a competitor in the final of this race, however, owing to a control of his machine being slightly damaged in a thrill- ing incident in an intervening event. Thus the winner was Mr. Bert Hinkler on an Avro-Avian, Major L. P. Openshaw (Westland Widgeon) being second, and Cap- tain H. S. Broad (D. H. Moth) third.
Collision Just Averted,
It was during the race for the Killjoy Trophy-a cup presented by a body of Bournemouth towns- people who successfully resisted a proposal to hold races on Easter Sunday that Mr. Dudley. Watt's machine, an SE, GA, developed its defect in thrilling circumstances. Passing the grand stand at terrific speed, the plane nearly came into collision with a machine of a simi lar type pilated, by Flying Officer A. H. Wheeler. In avoiding the other place Mr. Watt made a dan- Herous turn and dive, which for an instant seemed to spell disaster. By his superb efforts, however, he righted the machine, and in doing so passed one of the turning points This fact caused his incorrectly. disqualification, much to the regret of the spectatora, who had watched him finish sccond after starting 17 ecconds after scratch. The defect In his place was discovered after The winner was Mr.
