and

In the general Pictorial Section, there were land and seascapes of ex- quialte beauty, revealing the true sense of aesthetic value-pictures which one instinctively coveted. This was, of course, the main section of interest, although much scope was afforded for the ingenuity of the camera lover in "Still Life" "Story-Telling" work. The former stood out when compared with pre- vious years, but as usual, the latter failed in many cases owing to the fact pictures, although technically perfect, failed to provide the subject for a story. The Thermos flasks in the former were very cleverly photographed, while the story-telling picture which secured first place, was notable for its sheer subtlety.

That excellent study which secur ed the pride of place in the Exhibi- tion, "The Awakening," was note

And thus comes to its concluzion Hongkong's memorable Photographic week The Colony has every reason to be proud of its amateur talent, and at the same time, grateful to those who have made these compell- tions possible. To compete was a pleasure, to discover as I did, that three of one's pictures had been selected for "hanging"-on incentive to commence thinking-out schemes and subjects for next year's Com- petition.-A.

"Telegraph's" Scoop

How Hongkong Received Canton News

The Hongkong "Telegraph" was the first newspaper in Hongkong to publish the news of the Japanese entry into Canton.

An "Extra Final" issue of the "Telegraph" was published at 6 p.m., covering the full story as told by "Reuter" and "United Press."

The news spread like wildfire throughout Hongkong and Kowloon, and the "Telegraph" and "South China Morning Post" telephone lines were so taxed with inquiries that a member of the staff had to be 10 answer the specially assigned

calls.

Not only Chinese, but Brlish and other foreign people in Hongkong received the news with consterna- tion, grief and incredulence,

The Wali Kiu Yat Po this morning is one of the few Chinese dailies which stoutly, believe that the fall of Canton is rumour.

While blaming the Inability ond unpreparedness of the military and political lenders in Kwangtung the local Ta Kung Pao in an editorial Uhis morning pointed out that the fall of Canton was not the loss of the province.

The paper earnestly appealed to the Cenient authorities, as well as the 35,000,000 people of Kwang- tung, to immediately re-establish a new political and milliary cenize within the province.

Under new political and military leadership and with the unity of the peuple, Canion will be recaptured by the Chinese, the paper belleves.

According to the Ta Kung Pao, there are no less than 50,000 Chinese soldiers along the Canton-Kowloon rallway, but the altuation along the lino is obscure,
