CARDINALS FALL BEFORE BRAVES

HOPELESSLY OUTHIT

New York. Aug. 23. With the New York Yankees a sure bet for the pennant of the American Lengue, it commences to look more and more na though the New York Giants would take top honours in the National loop and play their fellow-townsmen for the world championship.

Giants won again to-day. while their nearest rivals, the formerly

smooth-working St. Louis Cardinal

combination, went into a complete

decline. Yesterday the Cardinals

took a beating from Pittsburgh, the Pirates

tes hitting twenty-five times. and to-day the Glants duplicated the Pittsburgh and scored twenty

COLLECTION OF TAXES

Canton, Aug. 26, The remodelling of the revenue col- lecting system in Kwangtung was ex- plained by Mr. T. L. Suong, Finance Commissioner, in a continuation of the interview reported yesterday, when he presented a general outline of the reform schemes contemplated. The new collecting system will be graft-proof and it is expected it will be in operation throughout the pro- vince before October 1

The banks designated as collecting agencies are the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, the Cen tral Bank of China, the Kwangtung Provincial Bank and the postal say- inga branches, where they exist.

The determining and enforcing of the exchange rnir between Kwang- Lang dollars and the national yuan. with the aid of the Government's Bnancial resources, necupied Mr. Soong's attention since his arrival. No delinite rate has heen determined on although 50 in Kwangtung cur- rency for ane yuan, or dollar, is now tentatively accepted as the figure. Such a rate is best adapted to the metallic reserve available, and the Interests fien condicting-of all parties concerned.

Yosemite, Aug. 25.

Admitting that "in retrospect he realised that Japan's actions towards China has not always been correct,"

"Mr. K. Yoshizawa, prominent Japanese diplomat, spoke to the conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations here to-day.

However, he told the plenary session, which the Japanese delegation had requested for this discussion, that China can only be reconstructed by co-operation with all and under better Sino-Japanese relations, as a first step. His statement was most moderate.

"Japan's position relative to China's reconstruc- tion is due to their geographical propinquity and racial "We deeply regret the affinity," said Mr. Yoshizawa. difficulties which arise relative to our efforts to re- establish the former friendly relations and promote China's progress.

It was only two menths ago that General Chan Chai- tong was forced to quit Canton, and unity seemed near again. Thus it was plain that Japan was not the obstacle to unification.
