"Yah, Ay tank Ay kin; but Ay von't not yat." "What do you mean?" cried the exasperated girl, as she flung herself into a chair. But without deigning to answer, Big Lena turned heavily into the kitchen, and closed the door with a bang that impoverished invective for volumes may be spoken in the banging of a door.

What appears in our newspapers on the subject is certainly designed to give a falsely unfavourable impression of Canton. For example, in The Times of May 15, a telegram appeared from Hong-Kong to the following effect: I learn that the troops of Sun Yat Sen, President of South China, which are stated to be marching north from Canton, are a rabble.
"It is because we are like you, we Chinese," said Tang Shao-yi. "It is because we are both Democrats at heart!" "It is because you have been our true friends!" said Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

In Canton, the monarchy is constantly being restored in Peking; and in Peking, Canton is Bolshevized at least once a week, while every other week open war breaks out between the adherents of Sun Yat Sen, and General Chen Kwang Ming, the civil governor of the province.
"Ah, well," sighed the girl, "we shall have a nice long rest when we stop for tea at at what is the name of the place?" "Symon's Yat." Medenham's voice was husky. Truth to tell, he was rather beside himself. He had played for a high stake and had nearly won.
