worthy of study. The present Secretary and Superintendent of Police has done his work splendidly during the past year, su the Report well show. He refers to the large number of "undesirables" deported tomoy and Kulangsu from the Straits Settlement during the year, no less than 287, as well as to many others of various nationalities who visited na during the visit of the American Flect, as being responsible to a large ortout for the many robberies that ocenrred. His opinion that we need a larger staff of Police is undoubtedly correct, for it cannot be denied that the staff at bir disposal is certainly not large enough to cope with all the needs of the island He does remarkably well with the men' he has under him, sad the sidents have cause for thankfulness that the island is es well looked after.
