This increase of additional plant; but this was rendered 's practical impossibility by soarcity of freight space and the rising price of electrical material, all of ‘which is manufectared outside of China. This inability to.extend {the works naturally limited the increase in earnings, The Canton Cement Works produced about 145,000 csaks of cement daring the year, of which ‘several thousand. caske were exported to foreiga countries and ‘the ‘remainder wae divided be- tween Hongkong and'< local demands. The tarnont in 1915 ia said to have increased 10 per cent. over that of the previous year. Recently one and a half working hours have been added to the daily achedule. Sines June the cemsnt works have manelfactured 8 new species of decorated tile, of which. mors than 3,000 pieces are made per moneem. ‘ The Canton Brick Factory hss enjoyed a. profitable -year con- seqaent upon the collapse. of namerous houses and shops daring the flood in Jaly; and demand has always been largely in excess of supply. Ths price hae consequently been forcad ap from $85 per 10,000to $165 per 16,000. ‘The Canton Paper Factory has done 8 fairly good buincsa duriag the year; but beeidea supplying the government departments, it sells only a emall stock for local consumption. Owing to the limited capacify of the plant, the tectory hea been unable to make any striking progress. - FF The Canton Weterworka bea made farther progress ducing the year. To the list of water con- sumere, 1,369 houses have been added, and 36 main and 9.678 minor pipes have been laid dur- ing the yesr. The output of water is 537,800 gallons per day, and this quantity. is consid sufficient to meet the public needs. No extension was msde for supplying water to oatlying places, except to barracks in the eastern enburb, After defraying all expenses, 8 net dividend of & per cent. traa declared for . 1816.

What has Happened. _ _ Having thue roughly sketched what might beppen, let us examine what actually did hsp- fen-cnd then use the material thas seqaired to explain - the futore, 7 . On or abont July 1 the French and Britieh troops neither bank ofthe Somme, facing east and holding the front before the little tewnof Albert, euddenly attacked the German lines.. The attack wag preceded by meny days of terrible bombardment along the whole front, the orthodox prelade to an attack in trench war. The attack was leanched apon 8 front of sixteen miles, about twice as broad as the firat Ger- man siticking front at Verdun and two miles shorter than. the French attacking front in Ckam- psgoe. The front wes pretty evenly divided- between the French snd the -British. . ‘In the firet phase the French were {or more successful than the British: -1n leas thens week they had got forward four miles and they soon expanded this to six, They spproached -the town: of Peronne, capturéd the: suburb of Biacues and Hill No. 97, which commsnods Peronna end the valley of the Somme between the French and the town. On the north bank of the Somme they reached Harde-court, four miles from their stsrting place, and came to the edge of Clery, which is peghepa five. It is hinted thet the Germans did not expect any attack from the French and were teken by surprise: - This may explain the larger French success ; it may bave been due to better, organisation, but at sll eventsths French did their work firat and did it effectively; They were done by July 10, and were then Icoking down on Peronne, which they had lost on October 1, 1914, The British did ‘not ‘move as rapidly, They were checked. after their first drive and it was not.antil July 15 that they report- od the taking of Longueval, which brought their line as {sr esst as the French position of Hardecourt, doe south of Longueral, But in the. meantime the British had begun to strike ‘north as wel! as east and take s series of little towns due north of their. line of communications, In other words, the French having driven a wedgs mag lines, the British at once ‘took: advabisge of this wedge and began 16- wider it cgeth by ish have driven s wedge: German lines.

What may Happen. ‘Looking now to the large field, bst may happen if the Britich are able to push onand iPia to the British that we most look for the burden of the schievement, forthe French did their share at Verdan: Some twenty miles slmoat dug east of Bapaume is the town.of Oambrai, which gave ite psme to Smith-Dorrien’s battle on the most criticial day of the Grest Rotrest, slthough . the sction was fought some miles to the east. Cambrai is the junction point of two railroads of atmont importacce to the Germans, the main sine of communication of the Germane between Lille and thé Oise. If the British could lay hands upon Cambrai, then it wonld be fairly certain that the, Germana would have to come out of all their line from Soiesona to Arras and their position in Lille | would be gravely threstened. -In addition Cambrai is the centre of a number of national highways, even more important to the Ger- mens than the railroads. It is fair to conclude, then, that the ultimate British objective is Cembrsi. They will be twenty miles distant from it if they = Bspaume. They are twenty-five as it stands, but this is from the south, From the northwest they are only twenty milea away now in Arras: From both Arras and Albert, which they hold, national highways converge upon Cambrai and we may look to see an effort to reach the town. both ways. Lees than twenty miles from the French position before Per- onne ie the considerable city of St. Quentin. This is.also an important railroad and highway get into it, all the Germen posi- tions tothe soath would go and the Germeng would have to come back cloas to the Belgian frontiers, the] FOOCHOW SHIPPIN The Report for Last Year. » ~The Onstoms report for Foo : S chow for following :— The total tonnage entered and clesred at the Maritime Onstoms dating the yeir 1915 emounted to 996,056 tons.
