THE CONSTRUCTION OF A $20,000,000 CANTONMENT AT KOWLOON, THE ERECTION OF NEW ARMY HEADQUARTERS.

The new Headquarter buildings will replace those now in use at Seven and Sixpenny Hill, and will be erected in the vicinity.

The present Army Headquarters were originally barracks. Two wings are occupied by Headquarters, while the third is still used to accommodate troops.

Work on the now Headquarters, which will be of most modern design, is expected to commence shortly.

Preliminary work will also be placed in hand shortly in connection with the construction of the new cantonment at Kowloon.

Before work is commenced on the construction of the buildings, a gigantic scheme of trenching will be undertaken in the entire sur rounding area in order to safeguard the health of the workers and, later, the troops.

When this trenching system is completed, it is expected that the whole of the outlying Kowloon area, embracing Kowloon Tong. Kow- loon City, Prince Edward Road, etc. will be entirely free from malarin.

Will New P. and O. Boats

Be On Far East Run?

WILL the two new fast liners being built for the P. and O. fleet be

placed in the far East service when they are put in commission next year? That is the question being asked in Hongkong shipping circles.

Both ships will be of the type and tonnage of the Strathmore........ one of the P. and O.'s three "white sisters,” The Strathnaver and the Strathaird are the other two.

A number of internal refinements, suggested by past experience, will be included, but the general design will remain unchanged and the same colour scheme will be used.

Some difficulty is being experi- | gers to reach London a few days bes enced regarding the names of these fore the celebrations begin. two new liners, which are still only numbers 722 and 723.
