the Revolution of 1912 in a na- tion whose movements are epic not only because of the physical vastness of things Chinese, but because of the elemental hero- ism of the people's struggle to emerge together through the curtain of centurios of the purely. Oriental way of living to the practical things which the twentieth century has thrust before them.

One of the things China is learning to do is to defend herself; another, the subject of Mr. Freyn's book, is to teach her children.

FULL DETAILS OF THE WIDE RANGE OF ARTICLES-AFFECTED BY SIR KINGSLEY WOOD'S NEW PURCHASE TAX, ARE GIVEN IN THE FINANCE BILL.

Luxury goods in the first of the two categories are taxed at a third of the wholesale value, and non- luxuries, in the second category, at a sixth of the wholesale value.

In the first class are such goods as clothing or foot- wear made from fur skin or silk; furniture; musical instruments and wireless sets; clocks and watches; per- fumery and toilet articles.

The second category includes clothing, boots and shoes, Food, coal, petrol, drink, gas; and electricity are exempt from tax.
