THE SALT GABELLE PROBLEM.

WILL LOCAL AUTHORITIES PAY REGULARLY?

Peking, Nov. 1. The Japanese Legation has not yet received written notice regard- ing the salt agreement and is awaiting the Home Government's instructions, but in the meantime has verbally informed the other Legations concerned that Japan is not bound by any agreement Mr. Hussey-Freke has made.

Foreign circles emphasise that the 1913 agreement was not be tween the Powera and China, but

The Government, anid official, were anxious that there should not be any jingo or vindic tive air about the medal, and the designer has made it a thing of

peace.

The Design.

On one of the medal side is a figure of Great Britain supporting a young warrior with a sheathed sword and broken shackles of war, offering a wreath of laurels to the nemory of the fallen.

On the other side is the Cenotaph, surrounded by the inscription "Their name liveth for. evermore."

The sheathed sword and the broken shackles of war were sug. rested by the great phrase which Lord Oxford uttered when Britain entered the War:-"We shall not sheath the sword until justice has been done."

The proceeds of the sales will be devoted to covering the cost of manufacture of the medals. there la any surplus, it will
