_Sm—Preparations to hoist the Ta Tao flag in the Chwansha, Nan Hwei and Feng Sion districts have been completed.
"Fact is a stronger asset than a thousand arguments, Those who have watched with interest the enthusiastic activities of the Ta Tao Municipal Government since its organization under difficulties should recognize what it has accomplished and how it is looked upon by the masses, Out of chaos, slowly but surely order is being restored: construction works are being taken up.

'The idea of the Ta Tao doctrine is the same as that of the Worlds' Brothership Association, the member-Ship of which is estimated to be more than thirty million scattered all over the world.
