Chinese to Establish
 a Model Settlement

Hongkong, March 30.-Chinese capitalists have subscribed $2,000,ooo silver for the development of a model Chinese settlement at Kow1oon, across
 Kowloon Bay from Honkong. Flats
 now covered by the sea will be re-
 claimed and a modern city will be constructed.
 The new suburb is on English 1eas- ed territory, and consequently will
 make a safe residence for prosperous Chinese who desire to settle down
 where they will be free from the
 chaos which sometimes prevails in
 Chinese territory. A wide boulevard
 will be developed along the sea front, and the streets will be parked in mod ern style.

the day will be celebrated in tho

1t will be recalled that on the first

was 100000 and that when the cam
paign was finished subscriptions of
$3.50, 900 had been secured. This city's
quota on this issue of Liberty Bonds

scribed.
Total unofficial estimates are not
available from the twelve reserve

of a statement beyond the usual

by many that Liberty Day and elev-
