It was not so much the shearing of their hair that was responsible, as the manner of its shearing. Sub-Inspector Chevalier, who was; Jying handy in a private motor-boat, realised the sad truth after one penetrating glance.
"There was no doubt from their appearance as to what they were," he told Commander G. F. Hole, in the Marine Court this morning. "I could tell them by the cut of their hair."

BAYER
Government's Decision.
Rugby, Yesterday. The India Office announces that the Government have decided to convene a Burma Round Table Con- ference and invite representatives of interests in Burma to meet re- presentatives of the Government and of other Parties in Parliament. for the purpose of seeking the greatest possible measure of agree-! ment regarding the future Cons. fitution of Burma and the relations of Burma with India..
Last January's Suggestion. The Burma Sub-Committee of the Indian Round Table Conference in i January last made, a recommenda- tion in favour of the Separation of Burma, and at a plenary session the Prime Minister said Government would pursue the decisions of the 'Sub-Committes. Later in the House of Commons the Secretary of State, Mr. Wedgwood-Benn, said Government, wished it to be under- stood that the propects of constitu-i tional advance held out to Burma as part of British India would not be prejudiced by Separation,
Accordingly, the primary task of the Burma Conference will be to discuss the lines of the Constita- tion for a separated Burma.
November Meeting.
It is intended that the conference} should assemble at a date in November that will allow the Federal Structure Committee of the Indian Round Table Conference 'to have compléted their proposal, but before the Indian Conference has terminated.
Opportunity For Review. When the results of the Burma Conference are known, there will be opportunity for a review of the whole position by all Parties con- cerned before Government proposes to Parliament measures to imple ment the provisional decision in favour of separating Burma from India.
Fully Representative.
The Burma Conference will be re- presentative of all shades of opin ion and of the various interests in Burma, including Indian, but the detailed composition has not yet been finally settled. It will be much smaller than the Indian Con- ference. A Member of Government will preside British Wireless Ser vice.
