Four of them pleaded that they were in Waichow at the time. Those who put forward this plea declared that they had been afficers in the anti- Bolshevik forces and had been reduced to poverty.
M. du Pae de Marsoulies, who with Mr. A. E. Seddon prosecuted on behalf of the Tungchow's owners, the China Narigation Co., after describing the piracy, said that four of the men bad been identified by two of the officers and several passengers. In the case of the other four they had an alibi. Yet they all returned to Shanghai in the same vessel and embarked at the same place. Waithow, from which four came, wasS well known to the Court as, a nest of pirates.
The article of the Chinese Criminal Code under which the first four were charged, counsel, went on, provided for the death penalty and, he demanded that it should be inflicted in the Case of these men. As to the remaining four, they should be handed over to the Chinese authorities. These men admitted that they were with- out means and one had confessed that be was a robber.

No further news is to hand regarding the Chins Navigation steamers an and weiyang, which, as reported yer terday, are ashore close to each other ht the western end of the Hainan-Straits. The tug and lighters from Taikoo left on Monday evening and the Taming cleared with stores festerday morning.i
Yesterday it was decided to unload the bunker coal in the OS.K. steamer ditar Maru, which went aahore in the Fo Tau Mun Pass, outside the eastern entraaca to the harbour, in a further attempt to refloat her. Further 'lighters and junks were sent out yesterday and it was hoped to get her off by this morning. As there: was a danger of the vessel beeling over, she was secured to the shore with wire ropes. The vessel had over 3,000 tons of cargo on board when she was grounded.
AIR MAILS.
FIFTEEN DAYS FROM SHANGHAI ΤΟ LONDON.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT-]
LONDON, January 12th. The Postmaster-General communicates the following particulars of outgoing British Air Mail trafic during 1925:-
There has been an increase in the total weight of letter mail during the year, and the total weight, despatched by sir tas now risen to 15,520 lbs. The increase has. been most marked in "the mails to Paris and to Morocco and Algeria, which have increased by 19 per cent, and 33 per cent. respectively By the latter service 2,500 lbs. of letters war despatched during the Feat.
One of the heaviest of the letter mails is that for unoccupied Germany (Hanover, Berlin and Hamburg)... This increased by over 10 per cent and the mails for Belgium, and for Denmark, Nor- way-and Sweden also showed increases. Considerable uso wis made of the air services established to Continental com tries to supplement the service afforded by Imperial Airways where necessary and new. letter "Air Mails were instituted to the East Baltic Countries and Russia, the latter of these attracting as much as 680 lbs. of letters in the four months of 1925 during which it was in operation. This service has occasionally been used in the inward direction for mails from the East brought by the Trans-Siberian Rail- way; the course of post from Shanghai to London has thus been reduced to about 15 days. Facilities for using the New York-San Francisco Air Mail Service were also made available in May last; but hitherto little use has heer made of the service.
The Cairo-Bagdad service has worked with marked regularity. It continues to carry a considerable volume of maila li spite of the competition of the tr desert motor service between Haifa an
Bagdad.
The Air Parcel service continues to carry a substantially greater volume of mails than the letter service. The total weight of the Parcel Air Mails on the whole of the Continental services, in operation was 50,000 ha apportioned among the several services as follows: Paris, express 13,600 iba, non-express 10,200 lbs. Holland, 13,200 lbs. Ger- many, including the Rhine Army, 13,000
