Work on the new Headquarters, which will be of minst modern design, in expected to commence shortly.

Preliminary work will also be plaeed 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), ete. will be entirely free from malaria.

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 Fefinements, suggested by past experience. will be included, but the general design will remain unchanged unch the same colour scheme will be used.

Gun Battery For Stanley Peninsula

WORK STARTS ON ACCOMMODATION

THE Stanley Peninsula on the Island of Hongkong will shortly become one of the Colony's fortified areas.

Work has already commenced on the construction of barracks to accommodate engineers and gunners.

Actually, the decision to sta-i tion a battery at Stanley will not | menu that Hongkong's defences are to be increared,

Under the terms of the Washing- ton Treaty, which has not yet ex- pired, this Colony is forbidden an increase in armaments.

The battery t Stanley will, therefore, be merely a re-alted battery or, in other words, one that will be removed from another part of the Colony.

It is interesting to recall that the
