stacles may prevent president Yuan
Shi Kai of China from ascending the

TO Gen Hwang Hsing, former revolu-

there l. no automobile factory in Norway,

tires. The importation of tires has steadily
decreased since the European war began.
and the present impos>ibility of obtaining
new tires has forced many of the taXicab>
