Last week I laid before your veadars the exaggerated sentiments that the schoolboys and, indeed, the school girls of Changsha imagine that they themselves hold on matters of provincial government. On the opposite side, there have been frequent rumours from Peking giving the idea that the pre sent authorities in Hunan are i league with their neighbours on 1 the west scheming to thrust their views.on the province that lies away to the northcast—Hupeb.
