My suggestion is, that the remedy is to be Tie found in sareening all cabin-lights at spuset when the order is given for the regulation lights to be exhibited, and that each cabin porthole on the starboard side be screened by a small green curtain, with red curtains on the port side. These curtains should not be too thin to permit beams of light te travel any great distance but thick enough to produce merely a green or a red shimmer near at hand. The side-lights could be then readily picked out. To determine the exact-thickness and colour of the material would be a matter of simple experiment. Of course, drab curtains shutting in all light would be almost equally effective. The extra work of drawing these curtains is, of course, trifling, and the cost inconsiderable compared with the advantage to be derived from the system. Without wishing to sound any alarm, I maintain that many an unknown risk is run by the travelling public and by our steafating men under the present absurd and reckless system, and in the interest of all I venture to appeal to the Elder Brethren to give my proposal their favourable consideration. It is, moreover, only by their influence that such a regulation could obtain international effect.

Replying to the question whether assistance cou'd be given from the fand to those veterans who, without being altogether past work, were unable to earn more than two-thirds of their former income, Baron von Thielmann said that it was not possible at present to ascertain how many persons fell within this estegory. The Prassinn Minister for War bad estimated that about 600,000 veterans of the former wors Kera | ħill surviving. 'Allowing 10,0.§ for those who had died since this estimate was tosde, and allowing both for the 45,000 who already received a pension so the 12000 who depended upon the special fand at the dis. position of the Emperor, there remained over half a million voteraos who as yet received no support from the fund. The machinery did not exist for investigating all these cases with a an view in ascertaining the proportion of persons anable to earn two-thirds of their former income, Baron yop Thielmann pointed out that a distinction must be drawn between HADE BY veterans who drew a yearly pension of 120 marks (£6) from the Imperial pension ftud and those who received special assistance from other, sources in consideration of wounds or impaired health. It was estimated that 9,030,000 marks would be employed during 1903. This would (£450,600) from the Imperial pension fund provida porsions for 75,000 voteraus at the rate of 120 marks a year.
