KOBE: A THIEVES PARADISE BAREFACED ROBBERY OF CARGO, During the past year or are there have been loud complaints of thefts in the pțin cipal ports of the world. The same inade quare to the demands of an abnèimal situation which caused unprecedented on gestion also made possible an orgy of theft. At one time London held the unenviable distinction of being the worst of all, with perkapa wound, but at the present Kube time there is little doubt that Kohe is pe eminent, the efforts to cope with the situation having been smaller in propor tion to the need in this port. Though the thieves display some ingenuity in their methods the operation cannot be difficult one, for the selection of goods to

piers. They used to be simply dropped into the water, with small buoys attached then a lighter would tow them out just below the surface and presently haul them on board and proceed to take them round for sale. Now that the iron market is no longer what it was, plates are comparative. ly safe, and more valuable goods, are sought woollen piecegoods being a parti enlarly fashionable object of theit at pre sent. Here are a few recent instances of thoft:
On August 3rd, the locks of shed No. 9 at Kyobashi were broken and twelve cases of shellac, valued at Y.8,000; were stolen.
During the night of August 31st the lock of the Customs examination room on "No 2 Wharf wins broken and woollen cloth valued at Y.2.100 was stolen.
Thieves broke the glass of the same Customs examination room on the night of September 16th, and stole roller cloth th the value of T-2,400
On the night of September 29th the back of" H" shed, No. 3 Wharf, was broken and cloth valued at Y2223 was stolen.
These are casual, instantcem out of very many. Naturally goods in lighters along side the piers are no safer, an instancer being the theft or Septeraber : 26th of woollen cloth to the value of Y.1,000 from a lighter alongside No. 4 Wharf. The thiere, often do not put themselves to the trouble of breaking locks but take delivery from the Customs officials. For instance, a man giving the name of Matsumura and repre senting himself as the Customs broker for consignee, gave a receipt for two cases off woollen cloth at E shod, No. 2 Wharf, in order, as he said, to take them to the examination room opposite. He, and others who hate acted in a similar way, have been no more scen. The procedure is perfectly simple. They wheel the stuff right through the shed to the "edge of the pire, load it into a lighter and sail ag in broad daylight without anybody think
