FLOOD MENACE. GROWING

OLD CONCESSIONS AT HANKOW SUBMERGED

Hankow, June 25. The ex-German concession in Hankow was three to four inches under water yesterday, as a result of the heavy floods.

Low lying parts of the French and Japanese concessions are also under water, and the ex-British concession is also flooded.

The Papal Throne has, from the very earliest days, been hammered at and persecuted. In spite of the assaults and threats and boastings of foes, it still triumphs. It over Papal Day, which was made to has been and now is the greatest accord with the Feast of Saints, power on earth, not in the world's Peter and Paul yesterday, evoked a understanding of that torm, but rare manifestation of affection and in its spiritual activities.

An innovation said to be with- out procedant here or alsowhere, was recently Introduced by the Committees of the two Hongkong share dealing exchanges, when they enforced a new ruling requir- ingi all accredited or authorised naslatants to share-brokers who are members, to pay a profession- at "entrance fee" fixed at $0,000.

A social gathering at the Wah Yan College, organized by the Jesuit Fathers in charge of the in- stitution, which. took place im- mediately after the evening scr vice, was the opportunity furnished

for this.

Philosophies, heresies, schisms have acarred the world, have called from the yolk of nations away Christ. Every century has seen lenders, impatient of the restraints Church has put upon them, carry numbers with them into the ranks of the enemies of the Church. But the Church remains. The Papney remains.

Many passengers rushed on deck on hearing the siren's prolonged scream. It was so foggy they could not tell whether they had struck a rock or some floating object in the darkness. It was 9 p.m.
