_May 3._--Liberia, never having heard of Tibet, but believing the G.L. to be a species of camel and a great fetish, publishes an apology in _The Liberian Times (and Advertiser)_, which, however, does not circulate in Tibet. _May 4._--China, after exhaustive inquiries, despatches another air-fleet, but again fails to locate her quarry. _May 5._--Liberia again raids China by air. Some stones in the Great Wall are badly chipped. _May 7._--Liberia issues her first official communiqué through the medium of _The Liberian Times (and Advertiser)_:--"On the night of May 5-6 our Naval and Military airship attacked the Chinese cities of Pekin, Hankow and others too intricate of pronunciation to be mentioned here. Incendiary and explosive bombs were dropped on the fortifications, gun emplacements, waterworks and waxworks at Pekin. A battery and many hens were silenced at Hankow. Our entire air-fleet returned safely and hurriedly." _May 9._--The G.L. of Tibet sends another Note to Liberia, protesting against a further grave infringement of neutrality, several eggs of dubious quality and the remnants of an unsavoury stew having been dropped from a Liberian airship on Tibetan territory on the night of May 5-6. _May 11._--Liberia publishes another apology, and sacks her air _chef_. _May 13._--Two squadrons of Chinese airships scour the globe but cannot find Liberia. Several are forced to land in the Arctic Circle and are interned by the Esquimaux. _May 15._--The G.L. of Tibet sends another Note to Liberia. _May 16._--Liberia, owing to a paper shortage, makes no reply. _May 17._--Liberia adopts the Group System. _May 18._--Introduction of "starring and badging" in Liberia. Owing to a slight miscalculation all trades and professions are "reserved." _May 19._--Liberia abandons Group System. _May 24._--Liberia again despatches her airship to China _viâ_ Tibet. The raider falls in flames near the Forbidden City, the commander having been rather careless with his cigar in one of the gas chambers. _May 25._--The G.L. of Tibet buys a typewriter and some carbon sheets, and begins a campaign of daily Notes to Liberia. _May 26_-June 5.--Liberia lies low. _June 7._--China, after fifteen futile attempts to locate Liberia, sues for peace, asking Liberia to send an envoy who will be able to guide airships carrying Peace delegates and the first instalment of indemnity to Liberia. _July 12._--Ten Chinese airships, loaded with Peace delegates and money, and piloted by the Liberian envoy, travel to the Black Republic. Arrived over the much-sought country, the Peace delegates drop their pilot and aid the airships' crews in wiping Liberia off the face of the earth. _July 14._--The G.L. of Tibet disposes of his typewriter at a considerable loss. * * * * * In a Good Cause.
